Weekend trips.

Soon we are going to move to a new dorm, to the "city center" of Akureyri. RES will probably take our cars, as we won't need them anymore for transportation. That's why we decided to organize trips each weekend, to just use the opportunity, and see as much as we can.
First one last weekend (Sat. 12.07) was to Húsavík, for Whale Watching and to see Dettifoss, the mightiest waterfall in Europe. The road there is only available for cars couple of months a year, because of the mud from melting snow and rivers, which are becoming impossible to cross.
I decided to change a bit the form of my blog, it takes a lot of time to put all of those pictures directly on the site, I'll just post them as a slideshow from my Picasa web albums along with some movies I record.

Next weekend (Sat. 19.07) we took a famous and popular F35 gravel road which connects north and south of Iceland through the interior. Nowadays it's even possible to cross it with normal 2-wheel drive car, because of the bridges they built on it. The road, which is also called Kjölur, is entirely gravel and it crosses highlands between two glaciers - Langjökull and Hofsjökull. We decided to have a hike near Langjökull glacier and after that have a barbecue and a bath in hot springs in Hveravellir.
