Iceland Calling
Changing my booking to Iceland
I have just got of the phone after being on hold for 20 minutes about changing my booking to Iceland... I´m very keen to get there now and the weather is so nice that its making me think I should go now!...Also it would be better to catch up with Cloudia as she is having so many visitors in July. So I´m planning to catch ferry on the 17 June... This only gives me 4 days to get to ferry - so i have to ride across the country and perhaps catch a ferry. It will aslo mean some long days riding... ie 80kms
I´m in Fredericia on the East Coast, staying with Dorte & Michael - friends of friends. Its a lovery spot and i´m staying in their cubbyhouse in the backyard...
Getting here I caught a ferry from Flensburg on Saturday 10th June. I then road along the main cycle route 5 through Aabenraa, Hedersley, Kolding and Fredericia. I arrived here Monday 12 June. Highlights have been the wonderfully hot weather. Everyone tells me this in not normal. I visited the Kolding Castle which is worth the visit - it has been restored but is modern very nice..., I have also been swimming again in very cold water... but so refrishing...
And shopping again. I have bought a windstopper jacket very flash very expensive and i´m not sure i´ll ever use it in Perth but Iceland yes... I have also bought a gas fitting for my stove so i can use both gas and metho... I´m told metho is hard to get in Iceland...so best to have both...
I now need to work out how to get to ferry in 4 days (this includes the day i leave) - plus buy some food to take... just hope this booking agency has confirmed my change of booking... they are not very contactable!
Keep you posted!

Hi Sis,
Love reading your log! Wish I was with you (in the support vehicle...)
We have been trawling the display homes again... I am sure we will hit the jack pot soon.
Can't wait to see all of your photos and hear your stories... Lots of love
Sis and Co...
