At the town in Germany where we live someone made a whole cache series based on the Icelandic Santas. Sadly the series isn't maintained any more so were never able to complete it. However, that's where we know all of them from ;)

We had a bit leftover time to spend and went here out to the island. The fact that this box was large enough to hold items was one more reason to visit it. Added a trackable Santa ;)

Thanks and greetings from Germany :)

Coming over from the Grábrók hostel we visited this really beautiful waterfall.

Finding the cache was a bit difficult, though, since we obviously tried a wrong approach first. This looked a bit too dangerous to us, but we then discovered that there was another, less dangerous route to the cache. Using this we were successful.

Btw, I'm a bit surprised about the number of "found" logs where people describe why they didn't even search. How's not even trying a find?

Staying at Akureyri, we walked out here on uncommon ways with nice views, greeted the horses and walked back to the city.
Nice place, thanks for the cache :)

On our first afternoon in Akureyri we walked out here to the Botanical Garden and found a lot of snow ;) Luckily this was no problem here - we did easily find the cache.
(On the previous days, we failed on four of six caches in Austurland because of too much snow...)

We had arrived with the Norröna ferry in the morning and went here for our first cache in Iceland. Finding a way to the cache wasn't exactly easy but finally we stood at the walls. Which were partly obscured by layers of hard ice, also searching in a snowstorm wasn't really comfortable.

However, the cache was reachable and we could log it.

Thanks to the owner(s) :)

Still a few minutes left before we had to board the Norröna, we visited the Skansin and watched a group of children and adults throwing Easter Eggs down the slope. Seems to be a local tradition of some sort?

However, the cache was luckily hidden at a place where it was outside of the event so we could go and log it undisturbed.

Our visit to Tórshavn was only a short one while the Norröna docked at the harbor. This was as far as we got and it was worth the way.
Very beautiful location, thanks for showing, and greetings from Germany :)

Baaah!

While the Norröna docked at the harbor, we explored Tórshavn and its surroundings on foot. This took us also here. Nice view on the city.

No problems with muggles in a public holiday morning ;)

On a walk through Hirtshals while waiting for the ferry we also took a look at the lighthouse. Very nice spot, thanks and greetings from 1000 km south :)

On our way north lack of a better connection forced us to wait for more than an hour for our train in the very early morning of the night. We used this time for a little walk into town and a few caches ;)

This one we visited already on our way back to the station, and found it easily.
