When I studied French in school I used to know a lot about Paris. Most of this knowledge has faded away together with my French, but even for those bits and pieced that remain, learning about is not the same as seeing it with your own eyes. And it isn’t just about seeing either. I’ve actually been to Paris twice before but so briefly I couldn’t get any real feel of the city. The impression I got then wasn’t even all that good. Now that I’m discovering Paris very, very slowly – avoiding the crowds, going with the flow of the weather – all those places from textbooks and articles in my childhood for the first time come to life for me.

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.

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.

Slowly but surely falling in love with Paris.

I’m getting a hang of it – being slow, I mean. I go out every other day, picking one place, doing one thing - like seeing one floor of d’Orsay museum at a time and then just heading for a restaurant :) I should have planned for 2 months here instead of one, but at the time I wasn’t sure. Now I know for sure that I can live like this and I’m really looking forward to it. Winter in Thailand, spring maybe (please!) in Japan. I’ve stopped hoping for China reopening in any foreseeable future, but maybe Taiwan… Maybe Singapore? Anywhere they speak Mandarin, of any kind. I’m not being picky anymore. Please.

Day 1 of the Ring Road trip. The weather is harsh

Day 1 of the Ring Road trip.

The weather is harsh: can be windy, can be chilly, and it can rain anytime. The landscape is majestic – love those endless green slopes completely devoid of trees. I know this is not how it was supposed to be (deforestation etc.), but I still think it’s beautiful. Reminds me of Hawaii, Lord Howe Island and New Zealand (just a little bit).

What I saw today:

Helgufoss waterfall – skippable.

Thorufoss waterfall – beautiful.

Geysir geothermal area – it’s not Yellowstone, not even Rotorua or Beppu, but trying to catch the geyser on camera was fun (see reel).

Gullfoss waterfall – simply stunning. This was the highlight of my day (see reel).

Secret Lagoon – well… nobody does hot springs better than the Japanese, that’s the fact.

And so far I’m really enjoying Icelandic food. Yes, it’s pricy, but tastes really good. I was expecting something along the lines of British (didn’t have the best food experience in London). Happy to be pleasantly surprised.
