Soaking & relaxing & swimming & age defying. That's the way we can sum up today. After our hotel breaky we made our way back to the car hire mob. Our problem had become apparent yesterday when we tried to use the wipers. It just smudged the windscreen which resulted in about 2% visibility. Not something you want, especially in a place like Iceland. Coming over the mountains yesterday made for some pretty scary situations. So back at the car hire mob t...

Yesterday we left Jo & Sharifs place early for more adventures. Arriving at Luton the four of us boarded the plane for a nice leisurely flight over to the wilds of Iceland. We landed and after a few troubles with our hire car made our way into Reykjavik and checked in to our hotel. The evening consisted of a nice feed of traditional Icelandic food, followed by a traditional downing of 1ltr of Jack Daniels. Feeling quite content we retired for the night knowin...

The final leg of our Swiss tour began early. We packed, cleaned and said goodbye to our Chalet & Grindelwald as we made our way south west to Geneva.

Well when I say we could enjoy the countryside I mean I could, as the rest of my travelling companions snoozed for most of it. I didnt really mind though as it was interesting to see...

Today was raining and the views had disappeared when we awoke but we knew we wouldnt be venturing too far.

This village was one that I had debated about staying at instead of Grindelwald, but settled on the bigger town. We arrived and parked the car as a light mist continued to fall around us. The big feature of Lauter is a waterfall tha...

It was another late start but as I looked out the window the sky was clear and sunny. Because the day was perfect Jac & I decided that we were going to head to Jungfraujoch, better known as the top of Europe. We had been searching for a cheap way to do this however it looked like we would just have to fork out the cash. We headed down to the train station to get tickets and found if we caught the last train up we could save £30 each. So we bought our tickets...
