One little Heidi, one big world
September 19, 2018 The day I never wanted to come, even though I'll admit I had became pretty homesick. Kubo and I sat at a table in the dining area at the Reykjavík campground, not really saying much, with blank stares on our face. Months ago it was easy to pack the itinerary for our… Continue reading Heidi and Kubo Do Iceland – Day 19: Bless bless, Iceland!
September 18, 2018Time to leave the wild. Our last full day in Iceland marked us completing our very large circle around the entire country as we would head towards Iceland's biggest city (and the world's northernmost capital), Reykjavík. We would be traveling on some familiar roads as wayyyyyy at the beginning of our trip we… Continue reading Heidi and Kubo Do Iceland – Day 18: Reykjavík
September 17, 2018 With all the rain the night before, I was scared to open my eyes in the morning in Vík, as I didn't want rain on our final day in the wilds of Iceland. Once I pried them open, I realized I didn't hear rain, and that there was blue sky!

For people like myself that prefer solitude and getting off the beaten path, sometimes the initial instinct is… Continue reading Heidi and Kubo Do Iceland – Day 15: Chasing glaciers on the southeast coast
Iceland Day 14 - September 14, 2018 1°C (about 34°F) weather and freshly fallen snow on the mountains greeted us in the morning in Seydisfjörður. Our coldest night in Iceland, and a good reminder that winter is rapidly on its way when you're at 65°N. After breakfast and piling on the clothes, we headed back up… Continue reading Heidi and Kubo Do Iceland – Day 14: The Incredible Eastfjords
Iceland Day 12 - September 12, 2018 If the evening of Day 6 was dedicated to going "into the wild" in the very much wild Westfjords, than Day 12 can be summarized as going "to the end of the world" as we'd travel from the Mývatn area to the tippy top of Iceland in the… Continue reading Heidi and Kubo Do Iceland – Day 12: Into the Northeast aka The End of the World
