Finally got to look through a set of pictures from 2018 travels that I haven’t been able to upload earlier.
Here’s the first night out in Tokyo’s famous Ginza district. Inclusive of diagonal pedestrian crossings and high end pedestrian shopping zones.
A quick weekend trip to Berlin brought new perspectives under a full moon in the city center “Mitte” and on Museumsinsel.

On the way to the airport we enjoyed our last day on the island in its Southwest Corner: the Reykjanes peninsula and its National Park as well as the coast line with many basalt stacks jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. It was a wonderful time. Thanks Iceland. I will be back.

More waterfalls in southern Iceland – we needed to catch the dry spells between the rain showers, the weather was definitely getting a bit more complicated, especially for the flying. But the scenery was still magical.

Landmannalaugar via a set of F-roads that finally require us to tackle river crossings.

No flying today – but climbing a glacier in harness and full gear with the Trolls as well as hiking to a mountainflank lake just above K…, Ki…, Kirkjubæjarklaustur (say it three times!).

Fantastic day, despite the 4 am start to catch sunrise at the Glacier Lagoon and some photographers “arranging” the icebergs to their liking on the coast – so much for nature photography. Skaftafell was great for hiking (and just take one more turn to beat the crowds), and the discovery of Foss a Sidu, although directly located on the roadside, together with the lava cliffs of Dverghamrar, made this one of the more spectacular days for sure.

Traveling far from the Eastfjords to the Southeast, hitting the main tourist spots now, including our first evening at the famous Glacier Lagoon.

Mjóifjörður – possibly the best fjord in the world, at least for me. OK I admit I may not know that many fjords, but this one was so spectacular, including a fascinating cascade of waterfalls from the mountain pass down to the fjord!
