Ukuzungeza ingxenye eseningizimu ye-Iceland kuwukuhamba ngendlela emangalisayo endaweni enhle. Bengizohlala lapha isikhashana ekuvakasheleni kwami okulandelayo futhi ngingamane ngishayele. Kwezinye izintaba ngibona ubuso bakhe;) futhi ngihlangana naye. Izintaba zikhazimula ngokuzola nesithunzi.

Sima e-Eyjafjallajökull - ngeshwa isemafini. Sifika endaweni enkulu yeqhwa ephumayo. Ngezinye izikhathi amanzi amancane kakhulu ageleza, kodwa ungakwazi ukuqagela amathuba ngokubheka umbhede womfula.

Ngemva kwejika ngalinye kuba nombono omusha: manje kwakusenamakholomu e-basalt ampunga, bese kuba nemithambeka eluhlaza enezimvu ngaphansi kwamadwala ampunga ngokunsundu, ngezinye izikhathi ngizwa sengathi ngiseHobbitland. Kukhona ubulembu obusasiliva obuluhlaza lapha obakha amacansi abagqinsi futhi buhlangana kahle nezintaba ezimpunga. Khona-ke kungazelelwe basalt sand desert. nxazonke Futhi lapho, phakathi kwawo, ezindaweni ezincane, kumila isitshalo esinezimbali ezincane ezibomvana. Nokho, kulokhu, ngobuningi kangangokuthi kuphawuleka kakhulu. Imigqa ephinki esihlabathini esimpunga, ngaphezu kwetshe elimpunga ngokukhanyayo naphakathi nendawo eyodwa noma ezimbili izizinda zeqhwa ezimhlophe ezigqamile. Amafu aminyene ampunga alenga phezu kwayo. Kuyakhanya!

Akukho ukuma okungenzeka. Asikho isithombe. Kodwa emangalisayo. Mhlawumbe ngizozama ngebhulashi nopende; kamuva, ekhaya.

Ukuma e-Diamond Beach kungenzeka. Lapha iqhwa seliqhubekele phambili kakhulu ngaselwandle kangangokuthi izingcezu zeqhwa ezisele zizithole zibhukuda ibanga elifushane zingene olwandle futhi ungazibuka, ngisho nokugwedla i-kayak phakathi kwezingcezu zeqhwa ezintantayo. Ukugeleza kwamanzi eqhwa bese kuhlangana namagagasi angenayo eNyakatho ye-Atlantic.
