At 2:30 in the morning, the loudspeaker announcement wakes me up that the car deck is now open and all passengers who want to leave the ship in Tórshavn should go to their...

At five o'clock I wake up. It's quiet, no raindrops drumming on the tent. Well, finally. I wanted to get up in time, but five o'clock is not necessary. When I wake up again at...

The water in the harbor basin is surprisingly clear

Yesterday I was on the eternal ice, today I was supposed to go between the drifting ice. On the way to the jeep tour, I passed by the ice lagoon Jökulsárlón and was able to take...

Apparently it rained all night. At least, I was awakened this morning by the familiar, lovely melody of raindrops on the tent roof. Since I had something booked for the...

Here, exposed differently

Gradually, time is running out for me. That's why I had already skipped the Westfjords. The area is simply too vast. The peninsulas stretch out into the sea like fingers. There...

When I woke up this morning, the rain that started yesterday evening had stopped. I stepped outside my tent and looked up at a blue sky. Today is going to be a good day, I...

The plan for today was to move further south and find a relatively central place to spend the night. The choice fell on the camping site Skjól. It is located on road 35 between...

The morning sky unfortunately didn't look as nice as it ended yesterday. The clouds hung low and there was no sign of the sun. The nighttime temperature was significantly higher...

Today I'll continue towards the west. My destination is Drangsnes in the Westfjords. That's about 350 kilometers. I'll see how the weather and my mood are. As the title of my...

Today, I drove back to the northeast of Iceland. I wanted to go to Húsavik. My plan was to go on a whale-watching tour. The bay in front of Húsavik is said to have the highest...

Today was an unspectacular day. I slept in until 8:00 AM. Not a good idea, because the laundry house, or rather laundry shack, is overcrowded. Which is not difficult given its...

7:30 am again, or still raining. Well, I won't let the weather discourage me. Petrus, I will show you, just......okay, in an hour. After going to the shower, drying off was...

It had rained a lot during the night. I fell asleep to the sound of raindrops drumming on the tent and woke up to the same melody. I looked out of the tent. Everything was...

The night was long and boring. Time just wouldn't pass. I switched between different decks. Sometimes I lay on Deck 8 in a deckchair, but it got a little chilly at 10...

Today, I finally wanted to start hiking. I had chosen a hike from the town of Saksun, through Haldarsvik and Tjørnuvik, in the travel guide. In Saksun, there is a sandy lagoon...

4:15 a.m. German time. I wake up. My brain quickly asks, work? No, you're on vacation. Command to the eyelids 'close' At 6:30 a.m. local time, I wake up again. I look through my...

Shortly before arriving in Tórshavn, there was a commotion on the ship. Excitement filled the air as many rushed to the duty-free shop, while others gathered on the upper deck...

As I expected, I didn't sleep very well. Fortunately, the 6-man cabin was only occupied by three other passengers. What bothered me was the lack of fresh air. That's why I spent...

After parking and securing my bike, it was time to repack. What do I need for a 30-hour crossing? I had already thought about this in advance. Since I not only want to ride...

At the ferry terminal in Hirtshals

This morning it was time. After going through the packing list one more time, loading everything onto my Suzi, securing it, and saying goodbye to my amazing wife, I set off...
