Part XII - Glaumbaer, Vantsnes, Stykkisholmur
Chocolate à chuva (Free subscription) | 07/24/2008
The next morning was sunny and bright again, and we'd have another long drive ahead of us, as we were heading towards Reykjavik and staying in the Snæfellsnes peninsula. We didn't have enough time to explore this part of Iceland properly, or go to the West Fjords (an even more remote and isolated area than the rest of Iceland) but I'm sure we'll be back again soon.

The Daily Transcript (Free subscription) | 07/22/2008

I have always wanted to visit this mystic land and Icelandair lets you have a free stopover for up to a week. I highly recommend that you do this once - Iceland was far and away the highlight of our European trip. Day I - We arrived late in Keflavic where the main...

Twixt Iceland and the fried chicken takeaway lies scrote Nirvana
The Devil's Advocate (Free subscription) | 07/22/2008
I OCCASIONALLY have to travel through what are best described as Scrote Estates. (Apparently we’re not allowed to use the word ‘chav’ anymore because if we do then we’re no better than fascists. Don’t ask me – some bloke in The Guardian said it.) You know the kind of place: flat-roofed pub with a pair of Rottweilers leaning over the guttering, hoodies on mountain bikes riding on the pavement, the cross...
