Iceland weather
Posted on 18/2/25
Its Day 4 of a circular trip around Iceland and I am near the town of Hofn on the South East of the island. The weather is frankly wet and very windy (even by Iceland standards). I spent the day at Vestrahorn and its neighbour Eystrahorn. It was a productive day even after a very wet start when I left it too late to move from the shallow sea water and thus was hit by a reasonably sized wave. The boots will take a long time to dry after washing the large amount of black volcanic sand from their interior.
Lesson learnt until i do exactly the same thing again!!!

Bhutan - Day 13 - Haa Festival - Sacred Dances in the Rain
The journey from Paro to Haa Valley proved to be one of our most dramatic drives yet. Climbing to 3,998 meters at the Chele La Pass, we crossed into a different world before descending for 1.5 hours into the remote Haa Valley. The landscape unfolded beneath us, watched over by the imposing Meri Puensum—three sacred hills that dominate every view in the valley.

Day 12: The Tiger's Nest – A Pilgrimage to Bhutan's Most Sacred Site
The alarm went off early today, but there was no reluctance in getting up. This was the day I'd been anticipating since we first started planning this trip: the hike to Paro Taktsang, the Tiger's Nest Monastery, Bhutan's most iconic landmark and one of its most sacred Buddhist sites.

Bhutan - Day 11 - Thimphu to Paro – Phalluses, Music, and Mountain Valleys
Day 11: Thimphu to Paro – Phalluses, Music, and Mountain Valleys
We left Thimphu after a fascinating morning visit to the National Institute for Zorig Chusum, where Bhutan's traditional arts are kept vibrantly alive. We watched weavers create intricate kiras at wooden looms, painters meticulously applying gold leaf to thangkas, and artisans crafting handmade paper from the bark of daphne trees using centuries-old techniques.
