Hyttetur in Iceland...


it's not only in greenland that there are cottages, the standar is just a lot higher here, with running water and flushing toilet.
anna and me went to here cottage in eilifsdalur only 30 min drive from reykjavik. it ws good to be having a BBQ with icelandic lamb and enjoying the icelandic nature. it's quite similar to greenland, just a whole lot GREENER...
the weather changed about 20 times between rain and sun shine, but you just have to adjust and adapt to the changes...
there was a lot of horses and sheep around every where, i guess dog sledges are out of the question here??? hehe
i put out some more pictures on my page

first day in Reykjavik

after arriving in Reykjavik yeasterday i just relaxed with my aunt and uncle in their house at nesid.
this morning i went to the swimming pool. i din't spend my time with swimming but moved from one hot pot to the next one, which was very relaxing, mayby too much...

then i went down town to get rid of all the paper work, which is needed when you are imigrating to a new country. i went to the bank and opened up an account.

i had lunch with my friend Vaka and my girlfriend Anna Mjøll. Anna and i also went for a spin around perlan.

the weather has been quite good, not to hot so i feel a bit more home here...
