Iceland was calling, aka This is not Africa....

We always factor in rest days

We learnt the hard way so rest days to avoid getting overtired and sick

Hubby has wandered off to take photos and secure cinnamon scroll. Wonder how many Tshirts he'll come back with as he's unsupervised

Loving the TR @Denali - living vicariously through you and your intrepid Hubby's holiday right now! Can we dive again??

I wish I could upload video or panoramic photos to share. We were so lucky with the weather

Stefano they hot Italian scuba guide putting a dog collar on hubby .... Scuba is a strange sport




Braud cinnamon scroll not ready until after 10 so hubby went to Sandholt.

Verdict, ok but their croissant are so good



I'm going to be controversial and say croissants are better here than in Paris. The lamination and crunch is fantastic and taste so good

This is the Braud window of the cinnamon scrolls we didn't buy the other day.

You let Mr denali take the dog collar off?
My my you must have been tired.

 

[Denali]

Told hubby he had to call Stefano Master

Seems neighbour had a burglary or damage to their home.



Edit. Three uniformed cops and what looks like a plain clothed cop looking around, taking pics. Wow for response

Oh no, I hope you get back to buy one before you leave. Definitely worth it!
I'm really enjoying your photos.

Braud wins, hands down

It was still warm when hubby returned so had to have it and yep, battle of the cinnamon scroll goes to Braud and Co.




Laundry almost finished so will be walking this off soon

Some cracking photos you have so far. Really enjoying your TR

20,000+ steps makes my hubby a hungry boy so it's to Iceland Street Food Cafe for all you can eat lamb veggie stew in a bread bowl. As many refills you want or can manage




Help yourself sweets or as I call it, The Ebola bowl

Cinnamon scroll. Croissants.

Stefano the hot Italian scuba guide putting a dog collar on hubbie!!

I now realise I've seen hot Stefano before. Friends of ours did the dive last year, with Stefano. They too were impressed. Yes to the quality of the pastries. Weather does look amazing.

It's a ice and waterfall day down south

Not sure if you're into kitsch but we really enjoyed Bar Ananas Google Maps
not far up off the main shopping street. Hilarious decor, great drinks, and great food can be ordered from the restaurant downstairs that serves everything in small jars

I have no idea where we staying for the night but our hotel room was really nice (new and Scandinavian/Ikea) and this is the view

Did you book these overnighters with an agent as a tour and accommodation?

The photo guide booked, by the restaurant staff reaction he's a regular.

Not liking this guide at all but hubby likes him on a photograph geek level so keeping my opinion to the myself

Yesterday the words, "will toss you in the water in a second you blank blank" where muttered by me at some point that he annoyed me again.

During dinner he's disparaging towards other photographers (framed photos on the wall) and tour companies and he constantly talking about his various health issues and financial situation. Uggh, telling myself I just have to get through today and never see him again

 

[tgh]

It's not my way of travelling , but I suspect that a personal guide can be priceless or.. er priceless
