SOMEWHERE IN ICELAND...

niestety nie pamietam gdzie to bylo dokladnie, gdzies zaraz za vik, oba miejsca oddalone od siebie o jakies max 10 min jazdy, na 'jedynce'

 

.

.

.

 

unfortunately I don't remember where exactly this place was, somewhere short drive east from vik, both places max 10 mins drive apart (road no 1)

 

 

 

 

smieszne miejsce, stozki ustawione w szczerym polu, ot tak sobie

 

funny place, hundreds of lava cairns, in the middle of nowhere, randomly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to miejsce znajdowalo sie nieopodal, pole lawowe obrosniete, starym , grubym mchem

 

this place was nearby, lava field covered by old, thick moss

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

driving from BAKKAGERDI to LAKE MYVATN

kilkugodzinna jazda z bakkagerdi we wschodnich fjordach to okolic jeziora myvatn.

 

.

.

 

couple of hours drive from bakkagerdi (eastfjords) to lake myvatn area

 

 

 

 

 

opuszczamy bakkagerdi, szkoda...   /  we're leaving bakkagerdi... pity!

rd no 94  / droga nr 94

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

droga 944 / rd no 944

 

tak po prostu, na zadupiu na srodku pola stoi sobie AUTENTYCZNY kosciol z czasow vikingow

 

just like that, in the middle of nowhere, on somebody's field there it is - an AUTHENTIC Viking church

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

w srodku  /  inside

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wlasciciel zostawil nawet ksiazke odwiedzajacych wiec sie wpisujemy I o dziwo, tego samego dnia przed name byli inni polacy!

 

there was a guestbook so we wrote a couple of words and discovered that just before us there was another polish couple!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spowrotem na 'jedynce', jedziemy na myvatn!   /    on rd no 1 again, myvatn, here we come!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bezimienny wodospad przy drodze. tak wiele gorszych wodospadow na swoja nazwe a ten, calkiem fajny nie ma????

no-name waterfall along the road. so many less interesting waterfalls has a name and this one, rather nice one, does not????

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

jedynka  /  rd no 1

 

jak widac ruch duzy!

prawde mowiac to drogi byly bardzo puste, poza okolica reyjkaviku I poludniowego odcinka jedynki oraz golden circle. na zwirowkach najczesciej nie mijalo sie w ogole nikogo podczas dlugich godzin jazdy. na jedynce, moze jeden samochod na 10 minut...

 

as you can see, road is soooo busy!

to be honest, the roads were 'abandoned'. leaving reykjavik area and golden circle, on road no 1 we passed maybe 1 car every 10 mins, maybe even less. on gravel roads sometimes we passed nobody at all even when driving many hours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rd to EASTFJORDS and village of SEYDISFJORDUR

znow kilka fotek z drogi oraz 'podobno 'najbardziej malowniczej miejscowosci na wschodnich fjordach. 'podobno' bo wszyscy sie na ten temat rozpisuja szeroko, a my nic nie zobaczylysmy ... z powodu mgly... no ale zobaczcie sami....

 

 

.

.

 

again, some pics from road no 1 and seydisfjordur - apparently the most picturesque village in eastfjords. 'apparently' - as everybody praise its beauty but we didn't manage to see any of it.... all because of the mist!

anyway, check this out...

 

 

 

 

droga nr 1  /  road no 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

jako ze droga nr 1 na pewnym odcinku nie jest asfaltowana, I jest tylko zwykla zwirowka, postanawiamy skrocic sobie ten odcinek I przejechac droga 939 przez gory. prawde mowiac, poza kilkoma 'zakret I w gore 12%' momentami, droga byla spoko, dobrej jakosci. jak cos to polecam, widoki piekne

 

as road no 1 is not 'asphalt-made' in some places (and is just a gravel country road) we decided to shorten it a little and drive thru the mountains. we took road no 939. to be honest apart from few 'sharp turn and 12% up' moments, the road was good and not very challenging, very good quality. I do recommend taking it, it's all right and very picturesque

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wszystkie drogi na islandii sa traktowane jak drogi publiczne/krajowe, tak wiec nawet na najwiejszym zadupiu, na dziurawej zwirowce  beda rozmieszczone znaki drogowe

 

tak sie jezdzi po islandzkich 'zwiroweczkach'

all roads in Iceland are treated as proper public roads, therefore even when driving worst road in the middle of nowhere, you will come across road signs.

 

the drive is more-less like this

seydisfjordur

 

droga do seydisfjordur wila sie w nieskonczonosc, 'ostry zakret I w gore' to jest w sumie takie motto drog na fjordach. normalnie widoki bylyby nieziemskie, no ale my trafilysmy na mgle...

 

road to seydisfjordur seemed to have no end. 'sharp turn and up' might as well be a motto of driving in the fjords. usually, the views are spectacular, we sank in the mist

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wiele budynkow zdaje sie byc ruderami, patrzac z zewnatrz, ale w srodku miesci sie zupelnie kulturalna knajpa. kolejna regula islandzka...

 

many buildings seem to be falling apart (looking from outside) but often those buildings (like the pictured one) are really nice cafes/bars inside. another Icelandic rule..

 

 

 

taaaaa, te widoki!   /  yeah.. those views
