Monday - 4 September - Reykjavik

After our big sleep of the day before, I woke at 7am and Maureen at 8am.  Fortunately, it was a free day for us because we didn't get down to breakfast till 08.30 then moved to the lounge around 09.30 to work on the blog again.  Maureen was determined we were not going to move from there until the whole blog was finished and up to date.  So she got stuck into downloading and sorting her photos while I waited - patiently.  By 13.30, it was obvious we were not going to get finished so we went across the road to have lunch then wandered around town.
We had one definite goal in mind but apart from that, we were pretty free and easy about where we went, sort of.  It was cold and raining and windy but that did not stop us from going to our first destination - the Phallogical Museum of Reykjavik.  And, yes, it is what it sounds like.  Got lots of photos:











We couldn't really come up with anything of interest after that little expedition and we had a very early start on Tuesday morning so we went back to the hotel, had an early dinner and went to our room.  It was then that Maureen checked our pick up time for the next tour and discovered it was actually Wednesday morning that we were being picked up, not Tuesday, so we had an unexpected free day to explore Reykjavik.  Except...

    hi you two Icelandic ladies, I've finally had a chance to read your blog up to this one, great adventures you two are having. On the radio on Saturday morning an Australia bloke called from Reykavik, Iceland has been on his bucket list for years and he finally made it. Was having a terrific time. hope the rest of your holiday is just as good as the first half. love to you both

    I think there maybe a problem with the translation unless I haven't been educated enough in these matters. Did the old lady get her divorce?:-)

Oslo - Sunday 27 August

Image
Good morning, everyone. We are at our hotel in Oslo after breakfast, trying to load the itinerary and maps and having no success at all.  Maureen has downloaded all her photos onto the laptop and my OneDrive is now full... We have lots of photos to upload and I'll get to that shortly.  First, though, a brief snapshot of what we've been doing since we left home: You know about the flight over and our stay in Dubai and our flight to Prague, all of which I slept through.  You might need Maureen to fill you in on the details of that part of the journey. Worn out from taking the boys to daycare... Taking the boys to daycare. On Wednesday, our first full day in Prague, Maureen and I walked around the city, across the Charles Bridge, then caught the tram home.  I believe there is a more detailed entry already so I won't go into too much detail here.  We all went to Marks & Spencers for some necessary items, then Maur & I left Carol to continue ...

Prague - Friday 25 August

Hi, everyone, This is to catch you all up to where we are today - in Iceland, staying on Vestmannaeyjar, an island off the south coast.  Lots of photos of that later... Back to Friday, in Prague: Belinda, Carol, Hamish, Toby, Maureen and I went to Prague Zoo - it was amazing, incredibly clean, well organised and not overly busy, even though it's high tourist time and school holidays.  Belinda, Carol and the boys stayed till about 12 or so, when the boys were tired and cranky and ready to leave.  Maureen and I stayed till about 2 and FOUND OUR OWN WAY HOME USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!!!!!  The flamingos were extremely noisy but very graceful and also very argumentative.  They always remind me of Paul...  Please excuse the poor quality of the photos but almost all of them were taken through glass.  That's a really tiny blue lizard on the left - not sure what type but Maureen will have taken a photo of the accompanying information plaque so she ...

Oslo - Saturday - 26 August

At Prague airport, having brekkie while we wait for our flight to Oslo.  We've had a lovely few days in Prague and can't wait to get back there to explore further.  Getting very excited about finally arriving in Iceland. Got a universal charger for my laptop and we are almost ready to put photos up.  Maureen spent 3 hours last night downloading her photos from her camera and saving them to USB.  Hopefully it will be my turn tonight...
