One of my favorite writers, Neil Gaiman, published a book, Stardust, back in 1998. This book is a fairytale, in my opinion one quite remarkable. As with some other books by Gaiman, it has the story of a young man growing up and finding he’s not quite what he thought, some things are different. The [...]

I disse juletider bakes det jo så mangt, så her kommer ei oppskrift på noe som ikke akkurat er julebakst, men likevel en innertier uansett årstid. Vi har her ei sjokoladekake, helt vanlig, men uten skummet melk og sukkererstatninger. Kaka har fått navnet Mammas kaffekake, men kunne like gjerne ha blitt hetende Mormors eller Oldemors [...]

Da var det nok en gang sesong for feit mat og det norske folk valfarter butikker på søken etter billig og bra mat, det være seg svineribbe, pinnekjøtt, kalkun, torsk, sodd eller hva nå familiens eller lokalsamfunnets tradisjon tilsier.

Day 13, happy 13, will be the last full day on this trip. Tomorrow will just be wake-up-and-shower-and-get-to-the-airport-and-home. Starting slowly today, walking down to Kolaportið to get some harðfiskur for my dad and sister (they, too, love this).
Yesterday night was eventful for all of the town’s football fans,

Weather forecasts from yr.no and veður.is is quite worthless. The rain doesn’t seem to want to come, and the sun shines on. That is, it did this morning, but in the afternoon, we had some light rain. No wind to speak of and pretty mild.
Last night I found this wine bar.

Starting off late at this Italian (or Italian-insipired) restaurant Eldsmiðjan, and there came the pizza baked in stone oven.

Now, a new blog entry about this tiny city at the northwest of Europe. It seems to me Reykjavík must be the Nordic countries capital of culture. This is of course not official and I guess quite a few people disagrees, but nevertheless my opinion.

Time flies when having fun. Today’s another day in the life, and I’m still in Reykjavík. As Jón pointed out with a comment on yesterday’s blogpost, there was an unofficial meeting of local amateur photographers from  http://www.ljosmyndakeppni.is/ here at Babalú (broccoli soup today).

Woke up and it felt like I’d be sleeping most of the day, but it was only half past nine, so with the right amount of will, I could have even had breakfast for free at the hotel, but I decided against it. I emailed my contact at the travel agency, Þóra Árnadóttir, the other [...]

After a week of walking 1-3 hours every day around with a camera, some extra lenses, a laptop, some power supplies, a book or two and perhaps some more on my back, my backpack feels lighter and walking a couple of hours, carrying it, doesn’t feel too bad. I take that as a good sign [...]
