On the way back

I don't know why by I found myself thinking of the old Beatles song Norwegian Wood

A parting shot

While we were waiting for the last ferry Radmyla disappeared for a few minutes . When we saw her she was running towards us with 3 ice cream cones that we beginning to melt . Well we knew the solution and it was the best ice cream that we have had in a long time ! We were cutting it close but we made a quick stop at the Askla viewpoint .

I felt blessed to be able to spend the day with these 2 beautiful ladies

Away we go

Goodbye Alesund

In hindsight we probably enjoyed this day and guide the most of our 12 guides

We had a 36 hour crossing to Iceland . Beautiful colors at sea , but a cold breeze

We really wished that we had this balcony when we were in Antarctica in December/January this year

Dinner was served

We had booked an Iceland/Transatlantic on a Princess cruise in September of 2015 but my wife fell breaking her kneecap into 3 pieces just a couple weeks before our cruise . This would be our second chance on the following morning to visit Iceland .

When we signed up for this cruise kinda late and we hopped on the CC roll call . We had nothing planned for Seydisfjordur and we saw that Travelin Texas Gal had organized a trip there called Puffins , Elves and More . It was limited to 6 and we saw her nice photos so we contacted her and signed up .

Heading down we met ashore

It was nice being with some other serious photographers so we could shout out for a stop . There was plenty of room in the bus and the driver , Christian , narrated as we drove .

We crossed over some high country seeing some blue

Back into fog we were told that the road markers is where the snow could rise in Winter

Ahhh, now we are getting back to familiar turf (houses). I've been waiting patiently for your Iceland pictures!

By the way, those road markers are a standard height around the country. They are just to mark the side of the road, they often get buried and then some. But they do an excellent job of reflecting your headlights in a land where there are no street lights.

For a great view of them, check out this video from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

That's a great film to see Iceland in general. The Iceland, Greenland, and Afghanistan scenes were all shot in Iceland

Thank you for your patience . 😉 We haven't seen that movie yet but we did like Ben in Zoolander and Meet the Parents . Robert De Niro reminded me of when I met my future FIL .
