So … The Iceland thingy is slowly falling into place.
I am staying in Reykjavik for one night,
then I am traveling around with my Canadians for the weekend,
and then …
Exactly. I have decided (I don’t know which dates exactly just yet)
but I will go hiking for couple of days.
I am not an experienced hiker, at all. And to go and hike by myself for couple of days is shitless scary for me !
(Like that ever stopped me from doing something …)
Anyway, obviously, I chose the easiest, most popular trail called Laugavegurinn.
I researched it briefly and as it turns out – there will be up to 100 people a day hiking this trail,
it is 55km long and it’s doable in 4 days.
The more I’m reading about it – the more scared I am.
Slightly pathetic, but who cares !
So … I need equipment .
Like a tent for example. Very light small tent.
And all the clothes. Hassle !
And with such a non existing budget, I should probably start selling out everything I own …
Like my soul : D
….
Ok, lame jokes aside,
I need to physically prepare.
Training has seriously started over the Easter.
But long way ahead.
(Who could have thought, that I am actually going to Iceland for a holiday and relax and peace of mind?!)
There is a sort of a map-ish picture,
to give me a brief idea, of how the hike’s gonna look like:
You know what actually makes me the happiest about it ?
The fact, that there will be a couple of those streams, that have no bridges and you just have to walk through them barefoot.
I could spent my life walking barefoot. (despite the fact, that my feet are actually ugly haha ! )
I am so excited about this little Icelandic adventure of mine,
but it gets more complicated everyday, and needs more and more preparation.
I hope my tiny little blond mind can comprehend everything step by step and not screw it up!
Well, we’ll see when the time comes.
The hike sounds amazing! Good luck with it! (I think I might research this hike for my own trip to Iceland :) )
that will be a great trip. have fun
