Trip Truck: Iceland Trip - Day 33 - At sea

WELCOME TO OUR BLOGSITE. IT'S MAINLY ABOUT OUR TRIPS... IN A TRUCK.

WHILST TRAVELLING OVERSEAS WE USE THE TRAVELOGUES SECTION OF THE SITE TO DOCUMENT OUR LOCATION, RELAY SOME EXPERIENCES; AND TO TAKE THE OCCASIONAL WITHERING STAB AT TRYING TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF THE WORLD.

BY DEFAULT, POSTS APPEAR IN DATE ORDER WITH THE MOST RECENT FIRST BUT NAVIGATING TO THE START OF EACH TRIP IS EASILY ACHIEVED BY FOLLOWING THE 'OLDER POSTS' LINKS.

AS WELL AS MEMORIALISING TRIPS, THE SITE ALSO OFFERS A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO US, OUR TRUCK AND A FEW USEFUL RESOURCES.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR VISIT!

If you are interested in natural history / earth sciences / overlanding, then Iceland is absolutely, 100%, a ‘must do’.

The truck performed admirably with only a few minor issues, some of which were absolutely my fault. A quick appraisal of the issues can be found on the Trip Truck website’s Latest News blog.
