This week has zoomed past shockingly fast, as ‘the real life’ has started to emerge. Bjarki started his new daycare on Monday, but only for a couple of hours for the first couple of days, then for slightly longer periods of time every day. Finnur in the meantime started working again, after a month-long summerRead more
Just added a couple of photo-posts below: Driving to Ólafsvík, and In Grundarfjörður.Read more
Late Tuesday night we decided to tag along the next day with Adda and Halli to Snæfellsnes, a peninsula north of the capital area. Finnur’s parents happen to have a small house in one of the towns there, Ólafsvík, which turned out to be available for a couple of nights. We drove there on WednesdayRead more
Here are pictures from our last day on the Snæfellsnes-peninsula.
We spent Friday morning packing up and cleaning out the house. Lunch was therefore served outside.
We woke up to glorious weather, and headed for the pool in Ólafsvík around lunchtime. We discovered that it was an indoor pool, which was not very appealing in the blazing sun. We therefore drove a little ways east to Grundarfjörður.
The public swimming pool in Grundarfjörður. I failed to take a picture in the other direction to document the very impressive view from the pool.
We drove north from Reykjavík shortly after noon on a Wednesday towards Ólafsvík on the Snæfellsnes-peninsula. Snæfellsnes is the home of Snæfellsjökull, the glacier of the snowy-mount-peninsula, a.k.a. the entrance to the center of the Earth. Trailing us were Adda and Halli hauling a tent-trailer.
Leaving the capital. It was raining ever so slightly.
We’ve started losing track of which day it is, since they’re all pretty much the same. We wake up around 9pm (give or take 30 minutes) and it’s always Bjarki that gets up first. It then takes us close to 3 hours to actually get ourselves together well enough to leave the house. This includesRead more
Hrumph. I’ve found myself repeatedly thinking “oh, I should blog” over the past week, but deciding not to because I had pictures I really wanted to put up first. So, I’m not sure what to do about that. It goes back to the “how to insert old pictures into the blog” discussion, but is moreRead more
We celebrated Bjarki’s third birthday a week later than originally planned due to unstable health-conditions (i.e. the stomach bug). This meant that the guest-list changed somewhat, but we still had a sizable crowd with lots of kids (especially young girls for some reason!!). Bjarki was suitably excited (read: delirious with joy) about getting presents, but also confused about all the people that were there.
Bjarki opening his first present of the day. I dearly wish I could have caught his joyous face on camera once the package was open, but my flash was out of batteries, so you'll just have to take my word for it that he was deeeelighted!
According to Google Maps, the distance from our apartment to Hrefna’s workplace is 760 feet or 230 meters, and the distance to Bjarki’s daycare is 1330 feet or 400 meters. The distance from Bjarki’s daycare onwards to what will hopefully be Anna’s school is 400 feet or 120 meters. (For comparison: Bjarki’s daycare used toRead more
