Here are some more night pictures. If you are the patient type you can see the stars leave trails in the sky. I don't have time for that. But the picture is nice. I was busy running around in the dark with Dad's headlight and getting licked in the face by one of the dogs. The blue lights in the mid picture is Dad walking around showing off his mobile phone. Then you get to see our dinner.

Short summary of yesterday's events: I tried to run away into the woods and went for a flight. Then the car wouldn't start. It got pulled around in a rope by one of the other cars. I was hoping we could go home like that just like taking a train but then it finally started. We crossed some minor rivers on the way down to the main road. I had my favourite sandwich with sheep paté and then we visited a playground and one of the swimming pools on the way.

We're back again from our trip. The night pictures were taken early this morning. We stayed overnight in the cabin you can see the window of. The Islands are the Westman Islands just off the south coast on our way back to town. More pictures to come. Meanwhile here and here are pictures from our last trip last summer

I might just be on my way after all to where they have fully equipped kitchens like this one.

As soon as you have learned how to walk you are put into countless layers of clothing, winter shoes that are at least one number to big and thrown into a pit full of sand dunes where you are expected to show off your skills.


You wouldn't want to sit too close to someone like me.

Dad wouldn't lend me his vespa so I had to walk all the way to my friends house last night. I have never walked that far in my life before. It was half a block.

Today it was raining so heavily in Iceland you could hardly see out. We are thinking about going on a weekend trip but the accommodation in the middle of nowhere is fully booked. No wonder. You could have a toilet with a view like this one.

The pictures are form left to right Stóra-Núps kirkja in South Iceland (almost in downtown Selfoss), Safnarkirkjan, Akureyri (in the north) and a detail from the painting in the ceiling of the church in Flatey.
