Hello guys,
If we are to start expounding on all of our travels and exploits, I must advise everyone of our recent trip to Iceland; not sure if any of you have been there before, but what a brilliant place (especially for a geologist like myself); I will attempt to upload, as time permits, a series of photos of this adventure; 2 weeks there was not enough, but we did charter a plane on our first day and fly the entire SW quadrant where much of the action occurs in line with the mid-ocean ridge spreading centre which cuts through that part of the Island. We drove the ring road around the Island, but we were spared the action of any volcanic activity during this trip, but plenty of seismic activity. I will say though the women are gorgeous and always interested in new blood on the island; they are known to be quite aggressive; We followed this up with a week in London where I had managed to acquire centre court seats at Wimbledon for the men’s quarters and semi’s; something else to cross off the bucket list; they did not offer me a wildcard to the men’s senior event unfortunately!!!!!! Then off to Europe where we did a river cruise from Amsterdam to Vienna and back home through Switzerland and Northern Italy; 6 weeks of great travelling.
Strongly recommend Iceland as a destination; not sure I would like to spend winter there however.
That is all for now; I will be in Merimbula at Xmas followed by a few days in Mollymook, so would not mind catching up to those in the area if possible.
Take care
Rob Fisher
Hi Rob, good to hear from you and of your exploits. I was in Iceland in 2005, on way to Greenland, and also enjoyed it. Then all the GFC stuff happened, and seemed to hit them pretty hard, but by all accounts seem to be emerging better than many.
ReplyDeleteRe South Coast: have a look at Pete Reid's blog -- link at top right -- he's down there now, jammin' and groovin'
I'm thinking of one of those river cruises for us: maybe you can suggest a link.
Still playing tennis?
