The Blue Lagoon

After days of being chilled to the bone, bounced in the saddle, and exhausted after climbing volcanoes, James is more than a little relieved to be able to slip into the steaming mineral waters of the Blue Lagoon. Ahhhhhh.... bliss.

Rakel - One of Iceland's Top Riders

Rakel Kristinsdottir is only 13, but already she has competed in - and won - some Iceland's biggest horse shows. This is one of several horses she owns. Her sister, 15 year-old Hekla, is just as talented. Both girls braved blustery weather to give us a wonderful demonstration of their riding skills.

Guest Chef

James makes friends wherever he goes - not just because he's a super nice guy, but because he's also an excellent chef! Here he is, making himself at home in Johanna's kitchen!

Lysuholl Farm

Here, our hosts Agnar Gestsson and Johanna Asgeirsdottir provide us with excellent accommodation in their guest cottages and fine riding along the beach on some of their lovely horses.
