RV-Cat Lover

Oct 2009. Found it strange to see an RV in Iceland, but cool that they were cat lovers!

Akranes Iceland - Front yard!

After driving away from Reykjavik to Akranes, I lock the rental car and capture a happy sap of me :) More to come…

Good Morning Iceland

Mid-vacation, waking up to Iceland to go exploring!

John Lennon Peace Tower

From our hotel room, you could see the John Lennon Peace Tower. Ice was chosen as the location as it has no National Army and it has Green energy through its geothermic active. (It might be hard to see in the picture-if you double click the photo, it will display larger)

F&B-Iceland

After 12+ hours of hiking/driving, we treated ourselves to a pint and a pizza. The pizza had jalapeños and bananas… It was really good!

Gullfoss Waterfall-Iceland

October, 2009. Deafening sounds from the double falls at Gullfoss, Iceland. As we arrived, cold, rainy, wet. As we departed, we were alone with the golden falls and sunshine! Oh Happy Day!

Sigriour Tomasdottir

A stone near the parking area remembers Sigriour Tomasdottir. A farmer’s daughter who lived on the near by farm Brattholt. Private plans had been drawn up to damn the Hvita river at Gullfoss for hydroelectric project, but Sigriour walked to Reykjavik to protest to the government and even announced that she would fling herself into the falls if construction went ahead. The government instead bought the falls and made them a nation monument.

Playing poker with Sigriour would not have been profitable…

Wendita @ Gullfoss-Iceland

Visiting Gullfoss waterfall is a dramatic experience, with the huge volume of water producing a deafening roar audible from miles away.

Gullfoss

Cold, cold, cold. My face was frozen!
