Text of the page (random words):
to langjökull glacier to do snowmobiling and to visit a man made ice cave along the way there were stops to look at some of iceland s thermal pools a rather pretty though small waterfall and a pit stop for lunch mrs squirrel obscuring the view of the pretty hraunfossar waterfall along the way there were a few cars that had got stuck in the snow and we stopped to render some assistance we were very glad to be in a superjeep with huge tyres and retractable spikes which carried us steadily through the worst of the snow and weather and when we reached on top of the glacier it was time to switch to the snowmobile our two snow conquering chariots we had to bundle up in special snow suits wear helmet visors and get instructions well getting dressed up for the snowmobile ride was a thorough workout in itself and we were sweating from the exertion and glad to be out in the cold so that we could cool down there were 14 of us and we paired up to drive 7 snowmobiles of the 7 drivers only one had driven a snowmobile before let me just say that it was not easy to drive i certainly found it hard to control requiring a lot more strength and throwing around the body weight to get the machine to turn and when i managed to turn it it would over extend in that direction and i would have to compensate in the other direction we were told to follow behind the guide in the lead snowmobile but we were all struggling to do that we were also facing driving snow and bitter cold poor visibility and fresh loosely packed snow which made it easy to capsize the machine if we strayed too much to the edge of the packed trail the journey was supposed to take about 15 minutes to the cave entrance but it took us more than 30 minutes during that time one snowmobile sunk about 2 feet into the soft snow and had to be dug out except for two snowmobiles the rest all had exciting moments when the machine tipped over trapping driver and passenger underneath it happened to me and mrs squirrel i wandered too much to the side and the machine toppled over and slid down a small slope both my wife and i were pinned down by the 350 kg machine from our prone position we could see nothing at all and could only hope that the guides would notice we were missing and could here our feeble cries for help eventually they showed up and got us out of there finally we made it to the ice cave and i took out my camera from my backpack only to find that it had not fared well from the snowmobile ride the cold had completely caused my camera battery to be drained out so all the photos in this post is courtesy of my traveling companions we were joined by another group that had come up by monster wheeled buses you mean we could have done the trip in comfort one of my group tried to trade our return snowmobile ride for a spot on the bus but there were no takers during the tour of the cave we were shown the chapel the guide explained that the acoustics were particularly good here and asked for a volunteer to test it out the rest of the cowards nominated me to do it and so i found myself giving a rendition of amazing grace inside a glacier singing amazing grace in the ice cave chapel when we got back to the base camp on the glacier to put away the snowmobiles and to get out of the snow suits i asked my driver how i could get a refund for the northern light tour that i had previously booked with superjeep for my first night in iceland now superjeep and some other tours allow clients to go on a second tour at no extra charge if the first trip was cancelled or the northern lights were not seen however the weather had been so bad and the forecast was for more of the same that i had given up hope to my surprise our driver loji thought there was a chance that the tour would go ahead that night he called his office consulted with them and then proposed to take us out that same night i really was skeptical given the weather conditions but decided i would regret not trying and so our whole group agreed to go northern light hunting loji said that despite the snow and blustery wind we just needed to look for breaks in the cloud cover where we can see the stars and we would have a good chance to see the northern lights this is not the millennium falcon jumping to light speed but the view of the driving snow from the windscreen of the jeep and the reason why i did remained skeptical of our chances of seeing any northern lights and so we left reykjavik at about 8 00 pm and we drove and drove and we drove around and around chasing perceived clearer skies we made a few stops when it was not snowing as bad and strained to see stars but most of the time the sightings were brief before the clouds and snow returned to warm us up and to dull the sense of disappointment loji gave out generous servings of hot chocolate fortified with vodka that certainly made us more cheerful and a little sleepy too it had been a long day then at about 12 30 in the morning loji delivered we managed to see the lights it appeared like a light green ribbon across the sky it wasn t the brightest but we enjoyed it taking pictures and just taking in the sight but after maybe 10 minutes the clouds came in and the show was over we were reasonably satisfied and we settled down in the jeep for the long drive back to reykjavik but iceland had not finished giving us a show 30 minutes later we saw an even better display as we were driving back we pulled over and enjoyed this spectacle for about 20 minutes thanking god for blessing us with this experience hallelujah next post around reykjavik aurora glacier iceland northern lights snowmobile animals iceland nature travel winter fire and ice land 2 vik south coast march 9 2018 lone grey squirrel 4 comments we arrived after dark on the first day in iceland and had taken the flybus from the airport to downtown reykjavik for future travelers this is a lot cheaper than taking a taxi but there is the inconvenience of having to change from the airport bus to a smaller shuttle bus which then takes you to a bus stop near your hotel in our case the bus stop was about 200 m from the hotel which would not be a problem if it weren t for the driving snow and the slush on the roads making it unpleasant to be dragging luggage in the streets but bad weather is part of the nature of iceland which one must accept still it immediately spoiled our plans as the tour i had booked to go out that night to seek out the northern lights was cancelled on account of the weather although disappointed by that i immediately activated plan b which was to get a good night sleep and take off early the next morning on a long bus ride out along the southern coast as far as the small town of vik here are some highlights from day 2 icelandic horses these tough guys spend the winter out in the elements descended from ponies brought over by vikings in the 12th century they are used in sheep herding and more recently for tourist herding a short stop at the lava centre and there was this interactive model of iceland showing all the earthquakes and tremors that occurred in the last 24 hours the impressive skógafoss waterfall the black volcanic sand beach at vik it was a wild and windy day you could actually lean backwards into the wind and the wind would be able to hold you up but the wind was also pelting us with tiny bits of hail which was quite painful the round ice spheres can be seen clearly in contrast to the black sand these are the basalt columns at the famous reynisfjara beach near vik oh and the sun came out briefly they told me that seabirds nest on these rock stacks but all i saw were tourists the beach can be dangerous as the waves are violent and rogue waves are known to occur which can drag you into the cold north atlantic the last fatality was in 2017 we were told not to go too near the waves and also not to turn your back to the waves but it could also be very romantic the ends of the basalt columns in the cave another view notice the icicle at the top a good place to roost after a long day on a tour bus we also visited part of the mýrdalsjökull glacier these guys were returning from hiking on the glacier another beautiful waterfall seljalandsfoss waterfall in warmer times it is possible to walk behind the falling water wait a while and you might get the place to yourself this little excursion along the south coast gets my thumbs up next installment will be about snowmobiling and an ice cave in a glacier see you then all photos by lgs please ask permission before using iceland comics humor iceland language travel fire and ice land 1 march 3 2018 lone grey squirrel 6 comments picture and t shirt by i dontspeakicelandic com hi there honorable readers the squirrel just got back from one of his bucket list destinations i am sure that the photo above of a t shirt i saw while there will have tipped you as to where that is iceland so what part of eyjafjallajökull didn t you understand will the smart alecks among you please enlighten us all to its meaning in the comments in this era of alternate truths your explanation doesn t have to be factually accurate but by odin make it interesting yes my missus and i went to iceland otherwise also known as the land of fire and ice the land of the vikings and more recently as part of westeros and beyond the wall game of thrones oh yes we did and we did it in the midst of winter too and how was iceland you ask i quote my wife it s crazy beautiful the people were fascinating and friendly and the food fantastic there are lots of delicious options so you don t really need to eat the famous rotting shark meat or the boiled sheep s head if you don t want to before i carry on i must thank terry for inspiring me to make the trip and also her practical advice even though this is not primarily a travel blog please bear with me as i will share about my experiences over the next few posts and if you were wondering i did see the northern lights for now i leave you with asterix and dogmatix as they show us that it isn t so difficult to learn the viking language blogging humor news people alternate reality is real february 7 2018 lone grey squirrel 3 comments do you believe in all this mumbo jumbo about alternative universes where things are just a little bit different from our own reality well steven hawking believes they exist so that must make it true anyway for all you skeptics the lone grey squirrel would like to share some observations that prove that not only do these alternate universes exist sometimes they spill over into our world cue twilight zone theme music and rod serling s voice ladies and gentlemen sometimes the best intentions can be twisted i present for your consideration one lone grey squirrel and his love advice given a technical makeover in the twilight zone back in february 10th 2008 this very blog introduced dr love a famous witch doctor from namibia who is his renowned for his advice on love advice from dr love remember you heard all that good advice here first then recently the esteemed bbc did a report on dr love only he wasn t the same guy and he was from congo and not namibia instead of dispensing love potions and traditional wisdom he was giving out scientific advice and using mobile apps what is going on alternate reality surely in the realm of the lone grey squirrel this is the charming and mystical dr love or aikenvoodoo u cassanova lovelace the great and this is the guy from the bbc alternative reality report the rather normal and scientific dr love or dr aimé lokulutu if you want to see the original unbelievable bbc report follow this link and that s not the only strange thing that s been going on i love oprah in my world oprah is a well respected successful media celebrity and all round good person but suddenly this alternative oprah appears on the news and it seems this version is a political oprah who might run for president of the usa but the really strange thing is that this oprah has three hands surely only in the twilight zone picture from the cover of vanity fair s 24th annual oscar issue oprah s hands number 1 is on her hip number 2 is on her thigh and number 3 is on reese witherspoon s waist humor travel traveling cheaply february 3 2018 lone grey squirrel 3 comments dear friends by the time you read this i will actually be on the road traveling with my wife of late i have become somewhat of a frequent traveler and so i decided to share with you some of the wisdom that i have gleaned from my experiences consider it a preview of my up and coming self help bestseller entitled tips on how to travel cheaply with your spouse in my younger foolish days i used to believe that two can live as cheaply as one and that that applies to traveling too for example with accommodation the cost per person drops when you share a room similar savings for hiring a car or joining a tour occasionally you even stumble on two for the price of one offers for restaurants museums and even airfares but don t be fooled unless you plan your trip well costs can easily escalate here are just a few tips to help lower your travel costs tip 1 choose your destination well generally speaking countryside is cheaper than cities not just because the price of things are generally more in cities but there just aren t anywhere as many shops for your spouse to be tempted by in the rural boondocks las vegas for example have wonderful cheap or even sometimes free all you can eat buffets but it is still to be avoided
