  • Iceland – Day 12 – 15

    Breakfast on Thursday morning and then off to the ferry. A shedload of motorbikes getting onto the ferry, some with battle damage and some with very bald rear tyres, I am glad I wasn’t on some of those coming back. Then onto the ferry and into my awesome (not) accommodation and then spent the evenings…

  • Iceland – Day 11

    So we packed up and I cooked some breakfast (We were getting quite good at this) and headed up the local garage/cafe for fuel and coffee. There we met some Icelandic Harley riders who were touring around. They told us about a road called F917 so we decided to do that loop. What a choice!…

  • Iceland – Day 10

    I hardly slept that night and was up at 4am and bored. So I cooked some breakfast and waited for Paul to emerge from his tent. He makes me laugh as until he’s had coffee in the morning I have never met anyone more dead to the world, secretly I was quite thankful as I…

  • Iceland – Day 9

    Seljalandsfoss was another waterfall we saw the following morning. It’s great as you can actually walk behind the waterfall. Sure, you get a little damp but it’s cool.   A bit touristy though with half of Japan appearing to be there. Then onto the small seaside town of Vik and a walk down a stone…

  • Iceland – Day 8

    That Sunday we woke up and next to the camp site was a Visitor Centre which opened at 9am. We were through the door at 9h05 hoping for a coffee, however unfortunately the cafe didn’t open until later but the nice man let us in and made us coffee and fed us cake. Life was…

  • Iceland – Day 7

    Saturday was one of the days I was really looking forward to. A day of offroad riding down the F35. It was brilliant, the scenery through the highlands was awesome. We passed a cyclist who then stopped at the same little cafe that we did. A Dutch chap cycling around Iceland for a few weeks.…

  • Iceland – Day 6

    Woke up on Friday morning to rain. There’s nothing like packing up your camping kit in the cold and rain. Combined with not a particularly good nights sleep and I wasn’t feeling very excited. However after a bit of breakfast and coffee things were drying up and my mood was uplifted even more when I…

  • Iceland – Day 5

    Eventually we docked into Seydisfjordur on Thursday morning. The scenery just coming in was fantastic, we had come through the Faeroe Islands a day earlier too which had equally as stunning scenery. Disembarking the ferry was relatively hassle free and we were through customs in about 15 mins and on the ring road (Route 1)…

  • Iceland – Days 1 – 5

    Off we go to Iceland. I met a nice chap called Paul on one of the motorbike forums and we both wanted to go to Iceland, so for a bit of morale support and company we had booked the same dates. The first couple of days were to be spent simply making my way to…
