旅行は私の人生なのだ

 為什麼說是暫存呢？

因為我的旅遊計畫並不包含格陵蘭，假期實在不夠

一日遊也不是我的風格，格陵蘭比冰島大好幾倍耶，一天怎麼可能會夠

然後簽證也早辦完了，也沒額外加註要去格陵蘭

最後，總要留一點以後再來冰島、格陵蘭看極光的藉口

【About travelling in Iceland】

If you ask me what the meaning of the travel is?

I think I just want to empty my mind.

I didn't think too much as I traveled in Iceland.

 The guard with the suit looks handsomer than the military policeman in Taiwan.

2010.8.25

Because I've experience the peak time in the Tube yesterday, I decide to go out early at 7 o'clock.

Before leaving, I ask the host to change my breakfast to the sandwich that I could bring to the airport.

 The woman is real. She is just there when I photograph.

2010.8.24

Maybe I was too tired yesterday, I wake up late in the morning.

For others, 7 o'clock may be still too early, but for me, as I was in Iceland, I always got up at 5 or 6 o'clock and departed for the journey at 7 o'clock.

【Last Sight in Downtown Hostel】

2010.8.23

Say Goodbye to Iceland.

At four o'clock, the dark is the only one dark night I see in Reykjavik.

【Blue Lagoon】

2010.8.22

7 o'clock in the morning, I enjoy my breakfast in the kitchen.

The luggages is ready, and my only and last attraction today is the Blue Lagoon.

 Watch out for falling the cliff.

2010.8.21

Someone said, the early bird can catch the worm.

I think, the best time for watching birds should be the early morning or the late evening.

【Westfjord】

2010.8.20

Today is a cloudy day.

I'm not so surprised that I always meet bad weather in Iceland.

【Pingeyrar】

2010.8.19

The weather in Iceland is unpredictable.

Even the day is sunny in the morning, it may become cloudy or rainy in the afternoon.

 Does anybody know the name of this kind of bird?

Someone said that is black-headed gull, but I'm not sure.

Another possible answer is Stema paradisaea (Arctic Tern).

【Whale Watching, Husavik】

2010.8.17

This is the frist time that I feel quite cold when I sleep in my tent.

Maybe the latitude of Husavik is higher than other place.

 【Lofthellir Lava Cave】

 【Weather Forecasts】

2010.8.16

The weather is not good as the forecast said. It's cloudy and raining in the morning.

There is not doubt that I don't have to wait for the Myflug tour at 10:00. It's impossible to fly in this kind of bad weather.

 你覺得免簽證就可以到該國家旅遊是一件方便的事嗎？

這個問題，我不持肯定的回答，但也不否定它。

畢竟辦簽證的程序如果過於複雜，的確會讓人覺得很困擾。

但是，免簽證不等於完全的方便，這其中的主要原因，還是在於入境時的盤查。

因為免簽證，入境官反而需要更仔細的評估你這名旅客是否不會有任何不良的入境企圖，例如非法打工、滯留等等。

【關於冰島旅行】

如果你問我，旅行最大的意義是什麼？

我想，那應該是忘我。腦袋完全的淨空，不用去想太多。

2010.8.15

I always get up very early and the weather is nice today. I don't know why I met bad weather in Iceland so often? I hope the good weather could continue longer.

I leave Eggistaðir at about 7:00, and I see Icelandic Horses near the ring road to Myvatn.

I take a stop here, and luckily, a horse get so close to me that I could touch him and take nice photos.

2010.8.14

The journey today is not finished.

After I come back to the parking place in the intersection of ring road and road F985, it's just 1:30 and no one want to finish the day like this.

Because I have change the itinerary for going to Grimsey, I don't stay at Hofn tonight but drive northward to Egilsstaðir along the east fjord.

2010.8.14

The weather is quite good in the morning, and also good for the skidoo tour today.

Because th time for picking up is at 9:30 at the intersection of ring Road and road F985, so I don't have to hurry to go there.

I find a place located in the west side of Hofn where I have a nice view of glacier. If you take care of the location of the scenes (East or West?) and where the sun is now, then you will probably see what you want.

2010.8.13

It's raining in the morning. If the rain get bigger, it would be very bad to camp in this kind of weather.

That is not a good feeling in the beginning of a day. 

2010.8.12

It's my 6th day from the day I leave Taiwan, and the 5th day in Iceland. But I think that the journey is just beginning. I wonder what could the tourist visit in Iceland if they only stay for a few day. Obviously, it is not enough. Iceland is a very beautiful country.

The people who have gone to Landmannalaugar said that it's worth of visiting there, but they drove the 4WD car, and the road seems to be very bumpy and dangerous. Besides, renting 4WD car is quite expensive. The cheapest price I could find is almost double the price of my small car. Although I really want to try driving 4WD  car in Iceland, I have to control my budget as I planned. For this reason, in order to go to Landmannalaugar, I choose to take the bus there. In fact, I think the bus trip is as nice as driving there by myself.

You don't have to worry about the bad condition of these road with a start symbol of "F". The bus driver is familiar with these roads.
