Driving dirt roads
June 13, 2009




Most of Iceland has moon-like landscape...and we will drive straight across the island.




From Gullfoss to Varmalid, with nothing inbetween...




The first few miles are paved.









then it changes, next paved road is 125 miles ahead




first stop after a couple of hours




the only signs of civilization are some fences and gates




the roads are dry




and visibility becomes limited




a dirty mind?




rivers




We pass some hard-core cyclists...they have some 100 miles left, with no houses, stores...or trees.




Andreas has fun in the back of the car









the tundra ever goes on




reaching the north coast, we see patches of green again. And paved roads.




roadside stop, consulting the map for tonight's cabin




Found it, just north of Akureyri.




cooking dinner




barbecue master Stefan




lots of time to have a drink

relax






and enjoy a hot bath




...during endless summer days.
