Op een druilerige dag in een jaar waarin Covid-19 wereldwijd regeert, mijmer ik weg naar betere tijden. Scrollend door mijn albums maak ik een digitale reis door ontelbare foto’s, maar ik merk dat ik dit eigenlijk maar heel weinig doe. Dat was vroeger wel anders! Dan liet ik direct mijn rolletjes ontwikkelen bij de fotograaf…

The end of the world
From Akureyri we rode to Holmavik. A small place in the Westfjords. It is a long and scenic ride with large parts unpaved roads. Fortunately the weather was good. But it feels like the end of the world. Lots of people moved out of the Westfjords and not a lot of tourists visit but it…
Whale watching
Entering Akureyri the heart shaped red traffic lights caught my attention. Installed during the crisis to keep up the positive thinking I read later on. Basically everywhere in Iceland there is wifi in bars, restaurants, big supermarkets (Netto, Bonus and Hagkaup) and in the Airbnb’s we rented. After a day rest we decided to go…
Alien landscape
From Egilsstadir to Akureyri is a very special ride. It is like riding through an alien landscape. Winding roads that take you through magnificent valleys with volcanic rocks, mountains and striking light fall over the landscape. Around every corner you get jawbreaking surprises. We did a small detour to visit the Dettifoss waterfalls which is…
From South to North; fjords
From Höfn we drove north along various fjords to Egilsstadir. Dramatic landscapes but a lot of strong wind. Gusts of wind bashing in to you after rounding fjords is tricky to ride. Just before we arrived in Egilsstadir we drove through a 6 km tunnel. Which was welcome to warm up because temperature gets pretty…
On the move
We are five days on the move now and what a ride! The landscape is changing all the time from a moon landscape to fields with purple flowers to fairy tale like waterfalls and glaciers. Day 1 we drove the Golden circle which is very touristic but worth doing. Day 2 we headed south to…
Reunited
Finally I am reunited with Bumblebee. After a long night flight, bus ride and short walk we arrived at our Airbnb. Today we went by bus to the harbour of Reykjavik in the afternoon and got our bikes back. So nice to ride again after 10 days sabbatical 🙂 First impression of Iceland? Beautiful views,…
Bucket list
Riding around Iceland was on my bucket list for a long time. But who could have thought that I would be riding around Iceland on my own motorbike! We (3 friends, husband and me) explored all 3 options; taking the ferry from Denmark to Iceland, renting bikes on Iceland or shipping our own bikes to…
