We are now back in Greenland 🇬🇱 after almost 4 weeks of vacation in Europe. 🇩🇪🇩🇰🇮🇸 Yesterday we had an amazingly beautiful day boating in southern Liverpool Land. 😊 Happy to be back home!! 🏔️

Car Camping and exploring a small part of Northern Iceland: a chilli morning in the tent, Dettifoss, Hljodaklettar, Campsites at Asbyrgi, and Husavik, the Hot Pot in Hjalteyri ... one week of vacation in Iceland is coming to an end. Lot's of rain but also some sun and many beautiful views and unique experiences! 😊🏕️ Week 9, Night 16 and Week 10, Nights 17&18 👌

A Humpback whale 😇 We did get to see quite a few of them on this whale watching boat at Hjalteyri yesterday morning. Those whales can be up to 95 years old!

Change of scenery! 😊🏠 We are in northern Iceland right now.

Last week's overnighter did not go quite as planned. I did get as far as lying in my quilt inside the tent and devouring a bag of potatochips. 😊🏕️ Week 8, Night 15, looking forward to a restful night. - But then the dog began to get unsettled, standing up and barking very quietly, sniffing northward. Our dogs behave in that way to warn each other and us when they hear or smell a bigger animal, like a muskox or polar bear. 😯 It was too dark already for me to see very far, even with my strong headlamp. The northern lights were just about coming up beautifully. Still, after waiting for quite some time outside the tent hoping for the dog to relax and some debating with myself, I decided to pack up. Shortly after midnight I was heading in the opposite direction and towards Ittoqqortoormiit. 😀🏠 Maybe it was just a fox? I'll never know. "Better safe then sorry" was my motto that day, I guess. - Did you ever pack up and go back home after setting up your tent, too, for whatever reason? For me, it was the first time. But I don't regret doing it, inspite of missing out on waking up in nature the next morning! 💚
