The Land of Ice, Volcano's, Hot Water, Expensive Beer and Hotdogs !!


If you haven't guessed it I'm taking about Iceland !!!!!

Gillian and I have just spent a fantastic week there and of the most fascinating places we have been.  We entered the Reykjavik half marathon so we decided to head over for a weeks holiday and do some walking in the beautiful Porsmork national park.

Gillian outside our B&B, The Butterfly Guest House very comfortable.

After our first day in Reykjavik it was time to head out to the wilderness for a few days.  We had booked a mountain hut in the Porsmork nation park, just at the base of the famous Eyjafjallajokull volcano !!!
