"Oh my God, I don't want to stay the night here."  (Agnieszka, Poland)

 Paulina and me nod and we clench our teeth. It is windy and cold.

We are standing on a little parking lot with all our heavy baggage, surrounded by a never ending lunar landscape. No house, no car. No human being far and wide.

Will we be frozen to death tomorrow? Wil we die on a lava field?

"Tthis is not a cruise ship, this is a 'spend all your money on some crap' ferry!" (Kristian, Denmark)

In spite of that very critical statement of young Danish, who I was sharing my cabin with, the passage on the M/S Nörrona from Iceland to Norway can be a quite amusing thing.

The British hook up in pubs, the Frenchman has a rendezvous in a café, while the Finnish is sweating in a sauna: In Iceland, the swimming pool is the center of social life. That's were people meet. Usually outside. No matter whether the sun is shinig or it is raining and snowing.

Warm thermal water is available in abundance in the country, no wonder, that even the smallest has a swimming pool.

On my Iceland round trip I had the chance to visit some of them and I even took a bath in the sea about 100 km away from the polar circle - it is really possible, at least with some little trick.
