Jersey Jumper Guerney Sweater



Halli hallo
now I have to still write fast because the next few weeks promise to be quite busy ...

today I want to tell you about an incredible, adventurous, exciting, white, cool, memorable and truly amazing trip of five friends.

time of the events: Friday
Destination / Area of activity: Penninsular
Reykjavik meeting place: 9:30
Klausturstígur 5 (No. 205)

Friday morning Everything was already prepared, the table turned themselves with delicacies : Käsestangerl, cereals, Skyr, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cinnamon buns, Weckerln, jam ... (Unfortunately there was this special Fridays No Pancakes and Scrambled Eggs because the business people in Iceland are a little hard in the morning out of bed ...)
because it must be said: woman / man must wake up properly before you start, but since the car will only release had shoveled late the whole ceremony a little.
went after this hearty breakfast it go. Packed with lunch packet, hiking pants, hiking boots, camera, hood, gloves ... crept ended three Finnish and two Austrian compatriots into a white Volvo. (it must be applied Weis was actually a very inappropriate color. On this particular day, why? It snowed and snowed, everything was white and so is the car The consequences? -> Reference to point one sees not so well known, so they decided to return to the car always to see something I do not see what you play. I see something that you do not see and that is a small black or metallic spot - perhaps the most mature? or was it just a stone? which has been blown by the wind on a snow-free spots)
first goal : Þingvellir : on the way there, the 5 enthusiastic friends was laid the first adventure in his hands. with narrowed eyes, and the highest concentration was the best drivers in the world behind the wheel and drove his five friends know for sure by the Landschaft.doch in white at one time was the endless white interrupted by a yellow / red fleck ... Joona the driver was cautiously slow and stopped. 4 brave Finnish and Austrian Mädls fought bravely against the storm and trudged to the light in digging parked car ... but the young, cool post man refused the offer of help - he only made a small "cigarettes stop" ... On we go and without major incidents reached their first goal five - Thingvellir.
A gigantic sight: how proofness DI European continental plate slowly but surely (2 mm per year) of the North American away ...
After a stroll between the two plates, and the successful search game (this time the friends were quite clever, because they had parked next to a red car which was in the white snow more visible), hopped back all in the car and off we went ...

direction Kerid the way to the remarkable 3000Jahre old explosion crater was especially exciting due to the weather. A narrow road winds along the lake, it should perhaps be mentioned that on this narrow, narrow street between 50 and 60 cm fresh snow was only by the car tracks one could guess how the road runs. Joona of the best drivers in the world lay within one kilometer back to the other, the occupants Although the car was a bit tense but they trusted their Joona Hjaltalin and accompanied by a particularly thrilling minutes. The five friends suddenly are confronted with a small pitch a car in the middle of the street saw ... power supply as the 3 fins and 2 Austrians are just, got all 5 from the car and trudged through the snow to the standing car. Two British Mädls left turn and the courage they wanted. But this would have been sent not very because most of them had already gone through so e so they need so e only this last pitch, and then you go up to the major street only e relatively flat over there ... so they witnessed the Mädls and they give you a few good tips and then it started again. But the two English girls were not to drive ... no big words to Joona sat behind the wheel and drove the two Mädls sure about this "Hupferl" up. Then ran again for the good guy all the way back to his friends to pick up. Unfortunately, her car was a little now out of practice and caught not quite the slope, The girls were just here grew in Iceland too much ... No problem for the girls who they jumped from the car and helped provide a bit of a bath to ... sweat but very easy reach the 5, finally, the major road at least half-way cleared was. And already they are at Kerid, in this vast volcanic crater in the summer concerts again, and got 5 already daydreaming about how great it would be like to sit on the crater slopes and listen to one of the great Icelandic bands.

Then I went to good old (bad) Lady, geyser and their very active little friend Strokkur. The sight of the many seething hot pots, and geysers inspired the friends completely, and when Strokkur a few times "in the Air," remained open to them the mouth. Next

Only a short piece, 4 Target: Gullfoss
The Golden Waterfall is Iceland's most famous Waterfall. He shoots about 32m in two cascades into a narrow gorge. Now the friends was gone for the spit, as this spectacle is now adorned with sparkling ice in winter.

The highlight of this trip was already so overwhelming that the visit of a friend in Selfoss, where the three were Finns and the two Austrians a guided tour and were entertained by his mother (a proper Iceland breast). A short walk through Selfoss and the first real contact with skin really sweet Islandpferdchen round trip from the beautiful. Joona brought his friends still safely back to Reykjavik, and they promised yet more so-great tours vacated by Finland and Austria.

So my love could you now accompany her into a super fine day the two friends in Iceland.

trip to the Blue Lagoon :
An organized tour of the university and led to the house of the Icelandic President and to the Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon: With their milky spa water, this spa pass something very special for body, mind and soul. Here's to Plant already has a very special flair, in desolate black lava landscape, surrounded by the hissing steam from the geysers and over again, and in the water can, depending on the desired drive the different temperatures can be because it's a natural lake, there are hotter and not so hot spots so as required. The water is rich in blue-green algae, minerals and fine silica mud, maintain the skin and exfoliate. And really it was then feels as soft as a baby's bottom.

trips me Eggert:
are always exciting and you should do not miss!
Especially exciting was our first long trip to a hot spring with him. This week it has snowed a lot again, but we were lucky the day before the hats again thawed a bit and so the road just opened again but it was just some still snow-covered road and our Professor a true genius, in respect of Snow road ride ... the Icelanders, and I can n not understand in these weather conditions but they are not really good at dealing with snow, so has done it the good Lord actually giving us in the middle of somewhere, namely in the parking lot! down in the deep snow has and of course we are stuck ... and he, our Austrian Finnish knowledge and did not think he has dug us so good we had no chance to come to the conclusion without the help of this beautiful place away ... The situation was exacerbated because really was in the "Icelandic Pampa" is no mobile phone reception on this road and almost no traffic, perhaps a car in two hours ... Yes look around for longer, we could finally find a shaky connection and press for emergency ... after 2 ½ hours we were finally saved! But it was really a nice place, everywhere hats steamed and bubbled from the earth, only the sulfur smell (rotten eggs) was a little uncomfortable, but over time I'm going to Smell even a little usual. Which the hot water comes so directly from the earth, I had in the beginning always feel after showering more stink than before, and the soup must boil it totally watch the one used in good cold water, and this time from run leaves at one of our first soups we have cooked, we were a little careless, the end result was a soup to a rotten-egg sulfur smell-taste and smell had ... (not to eat)
but you get used to much and if you can run off properly, the cold water is really very good!

The second trip excursion worked better, (there was no snow) only mud, but our Prof back in the same outfit (suit and shoes) was this time almost in the mud, but this recovery was not so complicated ... 's was really roam great in de r craters around to explore a cave and to look for elves, goblins and 'hidden people' look-out.






So enough for now, I have to catch my beauty sleep now, because here is very nice on the track!
