Bruises. Check. Cuts and scrapes. Check. Aching muscles. Check. Adrenaline overload. Check. We did the Via Ferrata today! This was the deciding factor when I was choosing my trip, there was another organiser who had a similar trip but without the via ferrata. It just looked so much fun that I wanted to do it!…

It’s another overcast day, but not raining. In other words, not many views to be seen but it’s perfect for hiking! We had some help to get started, we took a minibus to the trail head at around 1500m (the village is at 1200m). I don’t know what happened overnight, but my knees are feeling…

The clouds were low in the morning, no peaks visible. It’s still quite warm though (and humid), so shorts and t-shirt is plenty enough for hiking. As we got higher on the mountain, we were in the cloud and visibility was reduced to less than 50m at times. The group was keeping a fast pace…

One item on my bucket list is to see the Alps and stand on top of one of them. I’ve been wanting the see the Alps for almost all my adult life but somehow it just has never happened – until now! I’m in Alagna Valsesia at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif. The…

Apart from the afternoon on the first day and yesterday, we’ve been blessed with great weather this week. Even too good at times! And today was shaping up to be a great one, as the the rain from yesterday had turned into snow overnight and we got to drive through a gorgeous white landscape to…

In the morning we drove to Fjaðrárgljúfur (yeah I won’t try to pronounce it either), the canyon where we experienced some of the worst weather two years ago. The wind was so hard that it wasn’t possible to walk into it because the rain hurt on the face! No problems with either wind or rain this…

We are going to Landmannalaugar today which is a new place for me, and one that I’ve really been looking forward to seeing! It’s another of the iconic places in Iceland and the road there proved it – it’s well trafficked, not in the sense that there were a lot of cars on the road this…

Our morning spot was familiar to me and not in a good way, I struggled here at Dýrholaey two years ago. I was not excited about this new opportunity and spent the first part of the morning just walking around. I finally decided that I have to at least try and found two options, and…

Our first day in the highlands was another familiar place for me, but the weather couldn’t have been more different than two years ago. It was still a bit cloudy in the morning, but the clouds faded fast and all we got was blue skies! On top of that, it was almost calm. I could…

This morning was my fifth time on the black sands of Jökulsárlón and I gave up. I had a look at the beach and saw how little ice there was now, and I didn’t even bother to try. I went for a walk which turned out to be a good thing because it gave me…
