Mookerheide hike – day 2

Last summer, I hiked 32 km from Cuijk to Nijmegen, by way of the Mookerheide. Day two started quite sunny! I took it easy, had my breakfast, freshened up and aired out my tent. Even though it’s a double-walled tent, there was still condensation. Maybe it was also because of the way the inner tentContinue reading “Mookerheide hike – day 2”

Vík í Mýrdal, Skaftareldahraun and Kirkjubæjarklaustur

We briefly stopped in Vík í Mýrdal for a shopping break (big Icewear store, I love outdoor clothes!) and a quick visit to the gorgeous black sand beach. The weather was stunning! I’m sure it was a bit windy and a bit chilly, but with clear skies like these, how can you go wrong? WeContinue reading “Vík í Mýrdal, Skaftareldahraun and Kirkjubæjarklaustur”

Puffins and a gorgeous black sand beach

But it was so beautiful and I’d happily return to this stunning placeContinue reading “Puffins and a gorgeous black sand beach”

Sólheimajökull

Day 3 of our Icelandic adventure was far from over and we made our way further south on the ring road. We stopped to have a walk up to Sólheimajökull, a glacier in the south of Iceland. There was quite a bit of debris on the ice, which I thought made it look rather mysterious.Continue reading “Sólheimajökull”

I feel immortal

Reynisfjara, Iceland. This was one of my favourite places that we visited on our travels around this stunning country. Will definitely come back! And it was on this beach that Tarja’s music video for the song ‘I feel immortal’ was filmed. So cool and such a beautiful song too!

Travel photo challenge recap

My Dusty Flip-Flops had nominated me for the 10-day photo challenge, which I happily took on! She grabbed the idea of doing a recap from someone else and I decided to nab it from Dusty. So here is my recap. Hope you’ll enjoy! Day 1: Sólheimajökull, Iceland A visit to a glacier obviously couldn’t beContinue reading “Travel photo challenge recap”
