back!

[odycee]

So I made it back from Iceland in one piece! I got back yesterday afternoon and have spent a large proportion of today sleeping (I didn't get to bed terribly early last night due to having to watch two episodes of Atlantis as quickly as possible ;)). I had a great week and thankfully seem to have missed the evil heatwave here last week. I'll post some pictures at some point but right now I have to go and do yet another load of washing and try to make sense of the rest of the contents of my rucksack!

I saw some puffins, some volcanoes (I went up one which was still warm at the top!), some geysers (including the one from which the word 'geyser' comes from), rode some Icelandic horses and went in an outdoor geothermal spa! The weather was great and one morning it was actually warm enough to walk around in a t-shirt. 17 degrees C is a heatwave by Icelandic standards!

Back to work tomorrow... :(

Sounds like it was a great holiday!

Welcome bcak!

Sounds like you saw a lot of cool things. Glad you had a good time and looking forward to the pictures.

Woo! You're back! Glad it was good, and volcanoes and geysers and geothermal spas sound amazing. I hope you've taken some photos!

It really was. And I think I'm dying from heat exhaustion here now! It's far too hot!

I will be doing!

Iceland is actually on GMT but it doesn't have any daylight saving time (unsurprisingly!) so it's currently an hour behind here. So no jetlag to speak of!

I did indeed see a lot of cool things. Including a cat at the top of a volcano!

It was pretty fabulous! Going back to work today wasn't the most fun though...
