Into the glacier
Every 10 days or so we find a hotel, to take a small break from the camper van. The funny thing is that by now I actually sleep much better in our van, but I […]

Rivers, lakes, falls, pools and hot springs
One of the amazing things in Iceland is how much water exists and how important it is. It shapes the country through rivers, rain and floods, in frozen form it forms Europe’s biggest glaciers and […]
On a different island
The Vestmannaeyjar islands have a special history. For once, the youngest island was born in the 1960s, due to a 5(!) year volcanic eruption. The main town on the main island got buried under lava and ash in 1973. So this made for an interesting target.
Chasing waterfalls
After our off-roading and hiking experience in the interior, we moved on to south Iceland. There’s so much to see and do in this part of the country that we took a few days to […]
I am pooping…
Living in a caravana is a lot of fun, especially when Mama and Papa are up for games. But it can be quite boring when we drive sometimes, so I have to come up with some fun things to do. Here are my favourites so far.

Hiking… with a four-year old
We’ve been in Iceland for just under 3 weeks and have done a few hikes so far. We need to be realistic of what we can do with Liam, but we’ve come prepared with a child-carry backpack so that when the hike gets too long for Liam, Kai will carry all 20 kilos of him (plus clothes and backpack!).
The one we didn’t cross…
We bought a 4×4 enabled camper for this trip. One big question was how well our chosen ride would fare in real world 4×4 conditions. Which brings me to the first picture. We stood in […]
Photos so far
Not having internet all the time (which surprisingly has been quite liberating) means we’re a bit behind on the blog, but here are the photos so far: https://goo.gl/photos/tFE61vvCDiJJmYbN8
Our own private glacier
Rather than starting the ring road anti-clockwise and head north first as planned, we quickly changed our minds after seeing the weather forecast and headed south instead. And I think it was the right decision. […]
