July 6, 2026. To Geysir. Iceland, Day 12. A bit longer a ride today (I didn't feel like staying in Laugarvatn) and fewer hills, but cooler and again against the wind. I made it feeling better than the previous day - still not strong but I made good time. I didn't actually go look at the geysers - time for that tomorrow. It's a major tourist draw and - disappointingly - you can't buy food here, only order from the restaurant. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/2y0glsB

July 5, 2026. Laugarvatn. Iceland, Day 11. Cycling on a bright sunny warm day with a lot of uphill and against the wind. Less than 30km but it still took a lot out of me - felt weak entering Laugarvatn so I set up camp then went and ate a pizza. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/AWYI2Pa

July 4, 2026. Exploring Thingviller. Iceland, Day 10? It was a beautiful sunny day at maybe 14 degrees and I got all my errands done and had time to explore the national park. This is Silfra (sp?) where the continental plates are pulling apart. People dive in these crystal clear waters - I watched them. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/yo3dgRD

July 3, 2026. Thingviller. Iceland, Day 9. Today (supposed to be sunny all day) started with a downpour for several hours. Meanwhile, I split my stuff in two and left the heavier stuff - including almost all my electronics - in the trailer, which I left in the care of the campsite. So now I traveling a lot lighter, which made it a lot easier to get over the pass, kind of necessary in my current weaker state. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/HpadqKV

July 2, 2026. Campsite. Iceland, Day 8. I had a nice relaxing day at this beautiful campsite as it rained torrents off and on through the day. Mostly I spent the time reading. As I said to Andrea today, I'm in a good place right now, happy and calm. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/iyExKcW

July 1, 2026. Colossus. Iceland, Day 7. The photo doesn't do justice to the size of my new tent neighbour, which I call Colossus. It's battery powered, air cooled, and holds four (though they had extra help setting it up last night). I'm not going to let it get to me, though it did have me thinking thoughts about how to be more happy and less grouchy. It's not so easy some days. Ah - but this campsite is beautiful, I'm staying extra days. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/z90s13q

June 29, 2026. Iceland, Day 5. Recovery Day. This is a fledgling robin busy molting its baby feathers to reveal it's full colours. Apt. I spent the day at Reykjavik campsite recovering, doing nothing but reading, writing, and eating a lot of food. By the end of the day I felt human again. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/nrUMs29
