Berunes.

Our morning in Berunes is one of the most beautiful memories I have got from Iceland. We woke up in totally remote place, where there were only our four, a nice couple from Paris and hosts. Actually Berunes is an old farm located at the seafront. When you go outside you can admire wonderful landscape created by the fjord Berufjörður. The Old House was built by the grandparents of hosts over a hundred years ago and it has served as a hostel since 1973. If you ever go to Iceland, you must stay there at least one day! I really felt Icelandic vibe there. I mean, for the first time of our trip I totally felt that boundless space, silence, wind and smell of mountains around me.
I would love to come back there one day, the calmness of that place is a treasure.

The North.

On 11th May we left a bit dissapointing, uninteresting Akureyri and headed to the northern peripheries of Iceland, along Route 1 - a main road in the country. Our goal was to reach Dettifoss - the most powerful waterfall in Europe. We were riding a couple of hours and the landscape was different every 5 minutes.

After two weeks I am coming back to continue my trip around Iceland. Last two weeks were quite hectic - my good friend from Poland visited me for a couple of days, I left a lot of CV in the town looking for any job and finally, last Wednesday I got an email telling me that I won two tickets for DOWNLOAD festival!! :D Unbelievable!! I assume that so many people took part in the Live Nation competition, because I only had to give my email and answer who is a headliner of Saturday's concerts. So easy and they chose me, wow :) But now it looks like Royal Mail has lost my tickets or someone has stolen them, because I should have got them last Saturday. I wrote to Live Nation and they have re-sent them today, so hopefully I will get them tomorrow. Friday will be so busy for me - a job interview at 9 o'clock and then quick change to catch train to Nottingham at 12 pm. Fingers crossed for me!
