Daylight in Iceland

Fantastic weather now in Iceland and a good opportunity to go hiking on Mount Esja. I noticed this morning that departure at 9.30am is getting OK now. It is a little dark but soon changing so in a few days it will be daylight at 9 in the morning. During December I postponed departure till 10.30am but now I am changing it again. With pickup at 9.30am we are at the root of the mountain at 10am and that is definitely OK.

Blogging about travelling in Iceland

Blogging is my second nature. I have been blogging since 2004 when I spent two months on a journalism course in Aarhus, Denmark. At that time I decided to keep family and friends informed about my time in Denmark through my blogging. Since then I have tried many things. For a while (in 2004) I was blogging in Swedish about Icelandic affairs and then I started keeping my personal and journalistic blogs.
I have always had this huge need to get into contact with people out there in the world, that is what gives me most as a guide in Iceland. Now my company, Mountain Climbing, has its own website and I am keeping hiking enthusiasts up to date through facebook and twitter. On this blog I am going to blog about travels in Iceland, conditions for tourists in Iceland and my hiking tours. Advices, discussions - whatever.
Hope you all are going to read my blog!
