To Akureyri and back

Hi hi folks,

Ahhh the sun is shining in Reykjavik and at times it has felt like perhaps there is some point in waiting for the summer here. (seems that i will be staying here for the summer..) Last week we went to the swimming pool (the temperature was somewhere around 12 degrees) and the Icelanders seemed to have gone nuts over the sun, laying on the pool in their bikinis trying to get some tan! What an absurd scene even for a Finn. We stayed in the hot pots and enjoyed the sun from there.

Our trip around Iceland was great! Too bad I am not able to post photos here. Don't know what the %$%$#$ is wrong with blogger (have to be careful so that they won't erase my blog..) but it just doesn't seem to work. The highlights were the sehr sympatisch town of Akureyri in the north, the whole eastern coast and the small church where spent the night (nowadays a one-room hostel). Of course there were lots and lots of good times on the road, sitting in the car with 3 other Finnish girls produced some very bad humour and good laughs! :D Would like to do the trip again on the summer time, though. I think that it is a lot prettier; you can see more without the snow and the roads should be in better condition..

Ok. Will keep it short this time.

Cheers,
Kaisa
