From Holmavik we drove to West where we stayed at a lake named Skorradalsvatn in a very nice Airbnb. Before arriving we climbed the Grabrok crater which is next to the ring road. Next day we made a little tour in the area of the lake. Riding back to Reykjavik we handed in our motorcycles and explored…

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…

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…

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…

Just before we arrived in Egilsstadir we drove through a 6 km tunnel. Which was welcome to warm up because temperature gets pretty…

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…
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…
