Day 250

05/11/2016 Seydisfjördur (Iceland)

After having a long sleep, breakfast and planning the upcoming routes we drove the 250 yards over to the harbour this afternoon. There we checked in for the ferry to the European continent. With a six hour stay on the Faeroe Islands the ferry ship 'Norrvna' will take us over the Atlantic and the North Sea to Denmark.

Over-punctual the ship sails out to sea and we could admire Iceland in the evening sun for the last time. Overall, Iceland was a highlight of our Delorean World Tour!

Passing the Atlantic coast, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, fjords and deep blue waters and just before the destination Seydisfjördur still pass through a snowy plateau. Here you could stop every five minutes and absorb the fantastic landscape itself ...

Day 248

05/09/2016 Reykjavik - Gerdi (Island)

On the way to Seydisfjördur, where on Wednesday our ferry to Denmark departs, we visited three of the most famous sights in southern Iceland.

The first stop we made at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. On a steep and wet way you can even walk behind the over 200 ft. plunging water. You only shouldn't be afraid of water...

Shortly before our destination Gerdi, halfway between Reykjavík and Seydisfjördur, we saw the first glaciers.

Here there is the Jökulsárlón, one of the best known and largest glacial lakes. Across this lake the glacier water of Vatnajökull flows through a narrow access directly into the Atlantic Ocean. In the water countless icebergs are floating, they shine, depending on the light, in different colors.
