It was almost impossible to say goodbye to my dog Ronja. She absolutely did not understand the importance of the long hug I tried to give her. And I can't skype her! Really, I tried it yesterday. I decided before I left that the best way would be to take her for a long goodbye walk. So here are pictures from our last walk before I moved to London.

 When feeling a bit overwhelmed by the city (and maybe missing the Icelandic nature a little) the best thing is to pack some lunch and take the train to Hampstead Heath Park. 

A few pictures from our first days in London. We're still getting to know our neighbourhood in Hackney but we like it better and better each day. 

Picture perfect cat on Baldursgata.

This one I met in Gothemburg. 

My old neighbour on Lokastígur. 

Also an old neighbour. Didn't like this one quite as much. He used to take a daily dump in our garden. 

A beautiful Icelandic sheepdog I met on Skólavörðustígur.

Wouldn't life be boring without animals?

Kerlingarfjöll & Hveradalir

Can you see my dog? She almost disappeared into the colors in Hveradalir.

 

I'm obsessed with old maps and was contemplating stealing this one.....it's so beautiful.

Me and my family took a one day trip to Iceland's highlands this summer and visited this cabin. It's an old hikers cabin called Hvítárnes. Supposedly it has a ghost who sometimes scares travellers away during the night.

Do you see the dolphin?
