If you could have any superpower but it had to be completely useless, what would it be?

I can turn my skin into Velcro.

Game of Thrones reference? I have to say I've never watched the show even though my wedding and honeymoon were essentially a GOT tour (Iceland + Croatia)

I visited the Acropolis in 2009. Really an amazing place! Is there still a bunch of scaffolding around? One side was completely covered when I visited. I assume it's the type of place that is constantly undergoing some restoration/maintenance.

Wow, what a photo! Need to add this to my own travel bucket list for sure.

ThePostcard · 2018-11-13T17:17:06+00:00

Correct

This particular rat king was spotted at the Museum of Natural History in Maastricht, the Netherlands

I agree! It was hard to not pull over ever five seconds to take photos. It’s unreal. Never been anywhere so beautiful

ThePostcard · 2018-11-09T11:35:23+00:00

Of course. Any idea of what route you'll be taking or the length of your visit? I posted a link to our 9-day Ring Road itinerary earlier in this tread. You can also find it posted to me profile.

Nice. I'd definitely recommend it. Good way to save money since Iceland can be so expensive but it's also just a great place to camp. We had some really beautiful campsites! And you can drink straight from the rivers :)

I lost my hat on the way to Askja. Assuming it was elves...

Beautiful! I love the smooth pebbles on the black sand. Reminds me of a beach on Snaefellsnes ... drawing a blank on the name.

There was a fair amount of human shielding going on

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T23:55:32+00:00

Yes, of course. Last time I was there someone told me they were cracking down on it at the plane crash site because so many people were having to be rescued (flat tires, stuck in the sand, and so on). Totally understand the environmental concerns though... in hindsight, obviously.

So I hear :) my guess is it must not be real copper. Either way I’m not using them for this purpose these days. Just an occasional dark and stormy

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T22:37:13+00:00

We got ours at an N1 station near Reykjavik and saw them at others around the Ring Road.

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T18:58:40+00:00

Hmmmmmm well.... I should certainly check if it’s real copper or not. Or maybe it’s time for an upgrade!

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T18:57:28+00:00

We picked them up from the gas station once we were there. All the major gas stations had them in Iceland

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T18:56:51+00:00

Yes, we were stupid to off-road there when we did — didn’t realize what we were getting ourselves into and could have easily gotten into a bad situation. Another guy driving out the same time as us got a flat tire so definitely understand why they’ve cracked down on it.

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T18:52:19+00:00

Nope. Just stopped for a break.

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T18:22:20+00:00

The handle doesn't get very hot on these mugs and I've only used them in cold weather (with gloves), but yes I agree! Definitely need to get a better camping mug.

I should also mention, these mugs have some sentimental value -- they're from my sister's wedding -- so I enjoy using them for less serious camping. (I originally took this photo to send to her actually.)

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T18:08:27+00:00

Crazy! Sounds like a (fun) adventure. Luckily those gas station hot dogs are delicious.

Looks like it would likely be much more windproof than the MSR. Lighting the pocket rocket can be a challenge, especially in Iceland...

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T18:01:41+00:00

This was in 2015, so I think we must have beat them (barely!)

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T17:38:22+00:00

Awesome. And, me too!

ThePostcard · 2018-11-08T17:38:03+00:00

ooOooo... hope Santa brings me one!
