My third week in Phuket. I’ve jumped through all My third week in Phuket. I’ve jumped through all the hoops, did all the tests, now I’m a free person until the end of January (and then for one more month with visa extension). I love how quiet it is here now (compared to January 2020 – yeah, I was in Phuket then and that’s where I first heard about the virus; funny). It’s pleasantly quiet, and driving is more manageable as a result, but it still takes some getting used to. And I don’t mean driving on the other side of the road – I mean the general crazy Southeast Asian driving when people do pretty much what they want on the roads. I can do it too (I’ve done it before), but it’s not the most pleasant thing in the world.  

But it’s okay. I have a pool on the rooftop and a nice swimming beach 5 minutes away by car. The food is great, and, most importantly: it’s sunny :)

On day 10 of my Iceland Ring Road trip I said good On day 10 of my Iceland Ring Road trip I said goodbye to Mývatn and headed further west across the northern regions of Iceland. After the mandatory stop at Goðafoss (a beautiful waterfall that comes with a beautiful story) and a brief stroll through Akureyri old town (where I almost died by cake and hot chocolate) I spent the rest of this very rainy day immersing in cultural tourism at Siglufjörður. I learned a lot about fishing, herring, fish processing, and now have a much better grasp on the Great Icelandic Herring Saga of the first half of 20th century. I love learning new things this way. Now I want to go to Norway – another country with a lot of fishing stories to tell :)

And tomorrow I will be staying at a hotel converted from an old dormitory for fish factory workers. Ah, the excitement :)

Siglufjörður, by the way, is a beautiful fjord. If only the weather was a little bit better.

It was cloudy in the morning, but then the sky cleared out. Lots of places are closed today because it's a holiday. I didn't do it on purpose, I swear, but I'm in Victoria on Victoria day 😂

Day 11 of my Iceland Ring Road trip consisted of a Day 11 of my Iceland Ring Road trip consisted of a 3.5 hour drive between one museum and another, with an added bonus of 26 miles of dirt road under the pouring rain after that. Welcome to Westfjords.

Glaumbaer is a beautifully reconstructed historic turf house farm – probably the most impressive turf house I’ve seen so far in Iceland. I’ve seen a number of them already, and each time I can’t help but think how fortunate I am not to be born on this beautiful land in 18-19 century. Or any time before, for that matter.

My second museum of the day was Icelandic Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft, of the necropants fame. Look it up, it’s hilarious – and I won’t be posting it here, it’s kind of not work-safe :) How did people even think of something like this? Necropants isn’t the only weird example of Icelandic medieval superstition on display at the museum (tilberi are crazy too) but definitely the most well known.

Today I’ve also accepted the fact that dirt roads in Iceland are unavoidable. I’m not talking about the Highlands even, I’m talking about regular peripheral roads that start out perfectly paved, but then after a while turn into dirt without any indication for how long or how bad. It can be a mile, 10 miles or 30. Can be washboard, can be potholes, can be excavators digging in the middle of the road. There’s absolutely no way to know ahead, the internet doesn’t help much. Today I drove on a very decent dirt road – and on a rather scary one that some people online called okay.

Anyways. The end of the day was exhilarating. The scenery around my former fish factory dormitory is majestic, though. Is it worth the security deposit on my already scratched car? I don’t know. We’ll see :)

Day 2 of Iceland Ring Road trip. I spent the day Day 2 of Iceland Ring Road trip.

I spent the day zigzagging around southwestern Iceland, visiting locations from Dorothy Dunnett’s “House of Niccolo” series. It so happens that each one of them has a church, so it turned out to be a church day, which was perfectly fine by me – Icelandic churches have tons of charm. Today was also my first introduction to turf houses – they are super cute, looking forward to seeing more of them up north.

Where I’ve been today:

Skalholt – one big historic church and a little one inside a turf house.

Stori-nupur – nice little church nestled under a picturesque cliffside.

Skard – charming tiny church in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful Hekla views. Yummy mushrooms growing at the cemetery :) 

Keldur – long dirt road (grrrr), amazing location and turf houses. The church was, unfortunately, under renovation.

Hlidarendi – for some it’s an important Saga place, for me it’s a Dunnett place :) Beautiful church in a beautiful location.

I live at the southernmost end of the island, call I live at the southernmost end of the island, called Rawai beach. It's not a swimming beach - basically, it's a docking point for working boats - but not a bad place to stay if you have a car. Relatively quiet, lots of good food options, and swimming and shopping only 5-20 min drive away. Sadly, there was a car accident here just a week ago, involving a local taxi driver and a foreigner on motorbike (who died), but that's the unfortunate reality of driving on Phuket. I feel relatively safe in a car, but I would never ride a bike here.

Starting from today I'm changing the format of thi Starting from today I'm changing the format of this account, making it more of a real time travel blog rather than just a collection of photos. I've decided to try out nomadic travel lifestyle, so I need to ramble about it somewhere :)

I will be spending 3 weeks in Iceland, followed by 5 weeks in France (if France doesn't close its border to Americans by then, which I sincerely hope it doesn't).

This is my first look at Reykjavik. Gloomy, but beautiful. Looking forward to the Ring Road trip.
