Also returned to the famous Kirkjufell mountain on Snæfellsnes peninsula and Hraunfossar lava waterfalls. Wonderful scenery again, and this time in a more wintery situation. Loved it despite the cold.

Returned to Iceland for a quick trip. Unfortunately I was not feeling well so missed to see a good portion of what was originally planned, including the Northern Lights and the southeast corner that I had skipped during the first trip in summer. Still some nice moments, I’d say.

Profiting from the real winter with deep snow, even an excursion to Grenchenberg below the first Jura mountain chain, taking us across the canton border from Solothurn to Bern, was quite the adventure.

Now I understand the North Carolina number plate “First in Flight”. Missed that history lesson apparently. And enjoyed a great day including a fantastic evening.

An early morning stroll through empty Ginza on the weekend took me to the grounds of the Imperial Palace area including its lovely Palace Garden that are open to visitors. There are many things to discover including an orchard-type area with kaki, lemon varieties and many more.
