Day by day
- And we're off!! SFO>SEA>KEF Beth Easy morning making our way to SFO across the old Bay Bridge one last time. Parked the car at work and cabbed it to the airport.
- Huge waterfalls, an Israeli and wet pants Beth We arrived at KEF at 630am after a night of rough sleep for me, none for Andy. It doesn't matter, we made it!
-
Diving between tectonic plates in 35 degrees, hail pelting my face,ninja jumping Beth Didn't sleep too bad last night. The loud rain kept me up more than the cold. We have one large sleeping by so anytime I needed warmth Andy just held me closer. -
Big events! Beth Today was pretty special. We woke up at 930 after sleeping the whole night in a dry tent in Hverageroi. -
Taking it easy before the big hike Beth Up at 530 from a magnificent sunrise lighting up our tent. Good thing Andy could get up and take pics, it was too early for me, I'll look at the pics later. - Last day in the land of fire and ice Beth Up at 8 after a well needed night of sleep. Taking it easy today and not walking if at all possible.
-
Testing our limits Beth Let me preface this by saying why I like to expect the worst. When I expect the worst, things can only go up. -
The Laugarvegurinn hike is on- let's do this! Beth We didn't have to catch the bus until 10 so we got up, drank some coffee, got goods at the store and made some sammies for the hike. - Paradise in Croatia Beth We wanted to sleep in but we were up at 730 and ready so see some sights. We headed south to Dubrovnik and enjoyed the amazing drive looking over the Adriatic Sea along the…
- Slovakia and fun in Bosnia Beth Up at 630 to get an early start to the day, and to our surprise we have visitors. During the night another tent was staked next to ours in the cornfield. Neither of us heard them.
- Wilkommen lieber Deutschland (Germany) und Ostersteriech (Austria) Beth Up at 530 to quickly pack and head to the airport. Iceland was amazing and we'll be back to do the rest of Iceland, however I'm ready for some warm weather.
- Hvar today, Venice tomorrow (Andy's pun) Beth Slept like shit last night. Apparently there's a club on the other side of the camp's wall and they get the party started around 1am.
- Hiking in Switzerland with a thermal bath ending Beth Slept in until 730 this morning, much needed after a couple days of going and going. It's very nice to take it easy in the morning.
- More pizza, pasta, and San Marcos in Venice Beth Up at 630 after a night of thunder and lightning with just a touch of rain. The lightning was so cool, just what we wanted to see.
- Family and delish food in Germany Beth Up at 630 to get out of the camp spot and on the road. Once again there was no one at the gate so we didn't have anyone to pay- we tried!
- Flip flops and shorts at a wedding Beth I forgot how nice it was to sleep in a bed and its fantastic. Maybe it's waking up to a huge breakfast and coffee and getting to go to the bathroom in the warmth.
- The big fat Germany wedding Beth What can I say? Another delish breakfast at the Seigmann residence with the whole family. Cathrin gave Hans Peter a hard time about forgetting the fleishsalat which Andy was very…
- As much schnitzel as you can eat Beth Today was pretty chill. Up at 11 for breakfast. We unfortunately missed Cathrin before she left for Munich to pick up her man.
