Where the cold wind blows

Heyhey, here's blogging from Iceland. It was -3 degrees in the east, but here in the west its more like 5 degrees so that's OK.

Finally a hostel with wireless and no one using YingXian's com, so here I go! This is a great place, its natural beauty never ceases to amaze. From snowcapped mountains to frozen rivers and lakes; from black sand beaches to half-frozen waterfalls....

Drove a snowmobile on a glacier (that was cool. literally.) a few days ago. Then swapped with YX and I rode pillion. Unfortunately we flipped over, I was thrown into the snow (soft landing!) but the bike fell on YX and dislocated his elbow. Then we drove almost an hour to a hospital, where the on-call (he's a hand surgeon) relocated it under morphine and diazepam. cool. More about that later.

Saw the Aurora too....though it was kinda faint. aha. Some people visit iceland and never see it, so I guess we're really blessed.

So yeah. Last 2 days in Iceland, then it's Sweden and Denmark. Stay tuned!
