Was so excited to post Iceland, I skipped Amsterdam! Didn’t take to many pics, but you get the idea.
Most of this you can see just driving around.
This day hike is incredible… see for yourself.
Made to order, on the spot! Don knows donut.
If you are ever going to do an overseas thru-hike, do this one! It has everything: multi-colored mountains, rhyolite rock formations, snow covered peaks, geothermal hot springs, geysers, glaciers, volcanoes, glaciers on top of volcanoes, I met Dan Cortese!, sweeping river valleys with moss covered spires, black sand deserts, rivers to ford, and waterfalls… so many waterfalls I stopped taking pictures of them.
Oh, an I learned what Tvölítiðfólk means in Icelandic; its basically when you take two midgets …
A late spring made the Kungsleden trail impassible, so rented a car and went rogue. One of the great things about these Nordic countries is you can literally hike and make camp anywhere you want, so long as you are a few hundred feet from a home. With all the trails, some marked, many unmarked, no need for private property, you can hike until you drop. Epic week.
They called it a donut, so I am going with it.
Should have taken more pics. One of the prettiest cities I have visited.
Just a couple days here on my way to Sweden so not too many pics.
