A little roadtrip and picture diary of our Iceland trip in August 2023.
Until and including Egilsstaðir we drove a Dacia Duster, which then had to be changed to a Toyota Landcruiser due to issues with the first car.
Some more details and captions might follow at some point .. otherwise just ask me ;)
Today the last two blue tit youngsters left the birdhouse on our balcony.
