I love the terrain myself, but sometimes activity suggestions are needed.

Helpful phrase in Icelandic

"Talarðu ensku?" (Do you speak English?) Guess what, pretty much everyone over there does.

Eyjafjallajökull is a hard word to say.

Me

[barez-blog]

The ash cloud still hovers a month after the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. Volcanic ash is kinda neat. It's like really light sand that makes you think you have dark dandruff. It also has a somewhat refreshing, atmospheric smell.

No matter how cheesy they may be. This show was made to lower childhood obesity, despite Icelanders being pretty slim by North American standards. It's colourful and cheery and best suited for people 20 years younger than me.

Iceland is so crazy awesome cool.

One of my favourite beaches in the North of Iceland. 

[barez-blog]

Just go for it.

While in Iceland, back in 2010, I rented a car for 4 days. My original plan was to see Akureyri in the north and Vik in the south. Rather than do a lot of return driving, I thought last minute to just drive around the Island. Guess what? Best decision of my life. I got to see the barren East side that no one goes to and many scenic and diverse landscapes.

One of the coolest waterfalls in Iceland. It's helpful, but won't do it justice.

Ahhh....

Wow...

Who knew the username "barez" wasn't taken yet.
