BEE'S JOURNEY

THE MIGHTY GULLFOSS NEARLY BLEW ME AWAY

October 7, 2015 3 Comments

I was nearly blown away. Literally.

The path which led to the “view point” on one of the rock edges was closed due to slippery ground and strong wind, but I noticed some people had ignored the sign and hopped over the little gate and so I followed them.

I had never stood at a place so mighty, intimidating, insanely cold and dangerously windy. I was all wrapped up in layers of body warmers and an oversized water-proof ski jacket but the humidity and the force of the wind somehow managed to penetrate effortlessly through my clothes and sent chills to my every fibre. The icy and slippery ground didn’t help either. I made sure that every single step I took was stable, because if I slipped and fell by any reason there was a possibility the strong wind could push me straight into the angry stream of Gullfoss.

ARRIVING IN REYKJAVÍK

October 7, 2015 No Comments

It was the beginning of my short 4-day solo trip to where I had always dreamed to visit.

I had always wanted to see the Northern Lights or the “Aurora Borealis” and initially this was what drew me to Iceland. A few days before my trip that I did more research on what was there to “experience” in Iceland and I was so amazed to discover there there were so many incredible places to visit and activities to do. As I only used Reykjavík as a base for this trip, this post will be somewhat minimal while my later Iceland adventure posts will be on my daily excursions on this freezing and strangely beautiful alien planet filled with never ending snow.

THE BEGINNING

This was my very own sunset.

Time stands still every time I think of this darkening sky . I can still hear the sound of the ocean and feel the sunlight brushing my skin. And I wonder, would I ever see a sunset like this again?

The truth is, in my future days there will always be sunsets. Some might be somewhat memorable; some will be unforgettable. The sky, though, told me a secret: I will need to be present. I will need to be out there and feel it happen.
