Soooooooo...
I havn´t blogged here in a while.. like more than a week or something.. well I guess I´ll try my best to update you guys now..

Ok we ended up having such a wonderful time in Italy! We stayed in Florenze for one or two more nights (I can´t remember when I blogged last exactly) and even took a daytrip to a small nearby town called Fiesole in which you could look down and see all of Florenze! I took loads of pictures and I´ll put then up when I finish this..
anyway..
then we went from there to Livorno which is a small but o so beautiful beach "city" near Pisa.. we spent three nights there in this wonderful hostel about 45 minute walk from the beach or anything but a nice walk so we didn´t mind and walked back and forth at least twice a day.. I spent a lot of the time at the beach enjoy the sea and the sounds.. I hadn´t been on a beach since I went to Rimini (also in Italy) in 2003 so being next to the sea again was just so wonderful for me and I enjoyed every minute of it!

When we then flew from Pisa on the 12th to Bristol (UK of course) me and Viktor ended up splitting up just after we arrived.. he wanted to go to London and see if he could head on home to Iceland and I wanted to go meet two girls I just gotten to know up in Lancaster/Preston.. plus we had been traveling for 3 weeks together so it was about time we headed on our own I think..

I took a train from Bristol to Lancaster and even though it ended up being REALLY expensive for me to go up there to spend those 3 nights there I have to say that it was totally worth it! I had one of the bestest time of my life just hanging out with the two girls, Sarah and Caitlin, who live there!
They showed me around Lancaster and Preston but we could have just done nothing at all cause just being around them, talking and hanging out, was just as much fun!
It really is amazing to think of how well we got along with each other and how much fun we really had together considering that we had really just "met" and only spoken through emails, MSN messager, text messages and phone! but even so as soon as I stept off the train and saw them waiting for me I just felt like I was meting up with old friends again!
I even got to spend a little alone time with both of them and that was even better! The only thing that kept me from crying when I had to say goodbye to them was that I had already made up my mind to come see them again in beginning of September and spend even more time with them then! Yay!

So where am I now you might be asking.. well I´m not where I said I would be.. no I´m actually somewhere I didn´t think I´d be for a least couple of weeks..
yes I´m back home in Iceland!
It ended up being so difficult for me to orginize going down to the southcoast UK to meet up with friends there (everybody telling me to talk to somebody else.. hehe..) that I decided that I really missed my family and friends back home and plus I had made a promise to go to my oldest and one of my dearest friend´s wedding this weekend (even if I had already told her that I wouldn´t be coming) and when I thought about not being there to witness the thing we talked about SO often when we were younger.. well I just really really wanted to be there! so I called my airline company and changed the ticket back home to the 15th of July and got on a train/tube/train/plane back home!
It was also my kid brother´s 17th birthday the 15th and the family managed to not tell him I was coming so he was a "little" suprised to come home after work and seeing me shouting "suprise!" hehe.. he was really happy though cause he really had NO idea! hehe..
and plus the look on my friend´s face when she was walking down the aile and saw me standing there was PRICEless! she was so beautiful and so happy I was there (I hadn´t told her I was coming back) which made me so extremly happy that I started to cry and kept on going throughout the wedding! hey what can I say.. I´m a sucker for romance.. and seeing her in her wedding dress and exchanging wows with her love just made me so glad that I had gotten home in time to be there with them on their special day!

Yes it really has been so wonderful to be back home! Even my sister is back home from France with here little baby boy Tristan who´s only 1 and a half and I havn´t seen since he was 1! They´re even living here with my parents as well so for the first time in a while the whole family is all under one roof! O it´s been SO much fun being home again! I have barely had time to sleep cause I´m so busy trying to do everything I´ve missed doing for the last 25 days while I was away! so many things to do and so many people to meet! and everybody SO happy to have me back which has kept a smile on my face ever since I got back! hehe.. what can I say.. it´s good to love and be loved!

So yeah I just wanted you guys to know what was going on with me.. especially the once who live so far away from me (the UK, the states, Costa Rica, New Zealand or where ever) and I´m not going to be meeting in the next few days!
Please email me or call if you can (home number is 00354 557 7043 and my cell is 00354 698 2968 if you don´t have it already).. I would love to hear from you and to hear what you have been up to!
Until then..
Love you loads!

Wow it feels like it's been ages since I last posted here but I guess it's just that so much has happened!

The last day in Amsterdam turned out to be really great! I really like Amsterdam! truly!
I met some really cool people while I was doing my laundry that afternoon.. these three guys, one girl and me started talking about politics and the world issues and stuff (sounds boring but it really wasn't!) while we were waiting and they turned out to be this really awesome people! well maybe not the girl cause she left but the three guys were awesome!
Later that night me and Viktor went down to the bar cause Viktor wanted a beer and I wanted to get something to eat and I saw one of the guys who was talking to me earlier and invited him to join us.. he came along and he is so nice! he's from Brazil (but lives in Florida for now) so me and you Hjordis are going to sleep at his place when we go to Rio! He insited!
Ok so yeah we were sitting there talking and suddenly the people at the next table joined in our conversation.. there were three of them.. all from England.. so there we are all 6 of us talking when the two other guys from the laundry room turn up and sat down with us.. it was so amazing! There we were; one Icelander (VIktor decided to leave), Felipe from Brazil, Paul from Manchester, John from The netherlands/Canada, Helen from Hastings, Chris from Newcastle, Rob and his girlfriend from the southcoast of England (can't remember where from) and everyone just met a few hours ago and everyone getting along SO well! Amazing!
I ended up going out with them that night! even though I had an early flight the next morning! they really wanted me to join them and I'm so glad I did! I had such a great time!
It's really amazing how well you can get along with people you've just met and how much fun you can have with them! and I wasn't even drinking for that matter!
hehe.. yeah that truly was a great night!

I ended up getting a 3 hour sleep that night and then having to get up to take the train to the airport to catch our flight to London.. ohh yeah I really liked the airline! I recommend easyjet.com to anyone wanting to fly cheap around Europe! It was even cheaper than taking a bus or a train!

So anyway we flew from Amsterdam to London Stansted and from there to Bologna! It was really strange to think that I had spent the morning in the Netherlands, had lunch in England and then spent the afternoon in Italy! We are so lucky to be living now and being able to do this! we really are!

So yeah we arrived in Bologna about 3 pm but then we had this really bright idea of walking to the hostel that we were staying at.. bad BAD idea.. we ened up walking for 7 hours, having to climb a mountain and crawling through fences.. it was horrible! hehe.. ok I exaturating (do you write this like this..? ykja? hmm.. not sure) a bit here.. but we did have to walk for like almost 2 and a half hour, climb a "hill" and the fences part was true! but we were so happy just to get to the hostel in the end that either of us didn't mind! plus the hostel was really nice! even though it was way out in nowhere!

So yeah we're in Italy now!!!

we spent yesterday in Bologna mainly next to this beautiful fountain cause it was SO hot and then we took the train to Florenze and spent the night here! We'll be here the next two nights as well so we're just really enjoying ourselves at the moment!
We're going to explore a bit of Florenze after this blogging and just enjoy being here!
I just can't believe it! I've wanted to go here for such a long time and now that I'm here I really just can't believe it! And to think of what I might have been doing now if I would have stayed in Iceland! no thanks.. this is much better!

Oh yeah you know what we saw last night!!! BATS!!!!!! It was amazing!!!!! (ok I know everything is amazing with me right now so bare with me) We were just sitting outside eating dinner when I saw these "birds" fly like 2 or 3 meters away from us.. they were flying really wierd so I figured they couldn't be birds but they were too big to be butterflies and then I realised: they were bats!!! soooooo cool!!!! like way!!!! :o)
one more animal to add to the list of new animals we've seen so far!

Yes I think this will be all for now! I should wrab this up.. I want to go out in the sun and see more of this beautiful city before the heat gets too much!
I hope you all are well and thanks again for all the emails and stuff!
you guys are wonderful!
I love you all so much!

Hey everybody!
What's up?
So we're back in Amsterdam again..
We stayed at Siggi's place in Arnhem for another night but then he just throw us out on the street.. can you imagine that? not? well maybe because he didn't.. hehe.. no there was just a misunderstanding between mr. and mrs. nursepunk and because of that we decided to get out of their way.. I have enough on my mind than to be in the middle of or worse the cause of some tiny lovers argument.. So we decided after thinking it through to just spend two more nights here in amsterdam before we go off to Italy!

It was really too bad though about the whole thing with Siggi and Manon (mr. and mrs. nursepunk) cause I was really looking forward to hanging out with them, getting to know Manon better and being able to hangout with Siggi but I guess it will just have to wait a better time!

So yeah we're back in Amsterdam.. this city is really starting to grow on me.. I mean I liked it when we first got here but it was still just a city I would visit once and no more but now I can really see myself coming here again! strange..

It's been raining today so we've just been doing laundry and planing our trip to Italy better and I'vc been thinking about what I'll do after Viktor leaves for Iceland again.. I have some ideas and most of them seem to be working out so hopefully.. but I wont say anything here yet.. you'll just find out :o)

OMG! I can't believe that by this time tomorrow I'll be in Italy and the day after that I'll be in Florence! It's been a dream of mine to go there since I can't remember! I now I'm just a couple of days from fulfilling that dream! Wow! and to think only 3 weeks ago I was stuck in Iceland and feeling horrible about everything and now here I am! still getting on my feet again but at least I'm doing something like this while I'm at it!
ACE!

Well I should get going.. me and Viktor are going to enjoy the city for one last time (for now) today and maybe going to this vegetarian restaurant we were told about earlier.. that'll be great!

I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and I miss you loads! I also want to say thanks for keeping in touch by emailing me or messaging me or just leaving a comment here! it means so much to me!
You guys are the greatest!

Thu ert ein yndislegasta manneskja sem eg thekki! Ekki lata neinn segja ther annad! eg elska thig elsku disin min! ast og kossar fra litlu sys!

Well we're still in the Netherlands.. but we've moved from Amsterdam to Arnhem.. an old punk friend of ours Siggi punknurse is living here with his girlfriend and they have been kind enough to take us in for now. I'm not sure how long we'll be staying here since I really hate forcing myself upon people like this! I guess we'll just see.. the only thing certain for now is that we have plantickets from Amsterdam on the 5th of July to London and the same day from London to Italy!
Yay Italy! I can't wait to go there.. we're flying to Bologna but I really want to see Florence so we're just going to head over there as soon as possible! mmm.. Florence.. that'll be sweet!

but for now it's the Netherlands..

Amsterdam was greater than I thought it would be!
We stayed in a hostel the first night but the second night (yeah we decided in the end to stay for another night there) we stayed in this hotel (the heart of amsterdam) cause the hostels were full.. it was really crappy but we didn't mind cause we managed to get the price down to almost the same price we were paying at the hostel.. hehe.. :o)

I was really happy about the 2 days we spent in amsterdam.. I managed to do all the things I wanted to do there: we rode on the tram, sailed on the canals and of course saw the red light district! It was very wierd seeing the district! I mean I heard a lot about it from friends who'd been there but it was so wierd seeing it with your very own eyes! Girls in all the windows and men outside getting the drunks to visit "their" women.. so wierd.. plus our hotel was almost in the middle of the district so we saw all the "action" just out our window.. very strange!

Then yesterday we decided to be more cultural and we to the riksmusem (the national musem).. we got in free cause we lied we were both under 18.. hehe.. :o) then we spent the rest of the day in a park there called Vondelpark.. it was really nice and we both fell asleep for a few minutes in the sun!
I heard it was just raining all the time in Iceland.. is that true? I hope so.. hehe.. nahh just kidding ;o)

Ok so Siggi just told us we would be staying with a friend of his for the next couple of nights.. she lives close by so tonight we'll move our stuff there.. then I guess we'll stay here until Monday and then get back to amsterdam so we'll be close by the airport for our flight the next day..
I better email the hostel and check if they have room for us on Monday night..
I'll leave this like this for now.. I'm a little bit tierd so I think today will just be spent hanging around Siggi's place and chilling..
I hope you guys are having fun in Iceland and where ever you are!
I miss you and think of you everyday!
Loads of love!
