The Nordics meeting the Mediterranean
A second look at Iceland, Estonia, Croatia and Italy
This week I have to skip posting new material because I haven’t planned well in advance, so I decided to remind you of some ‘old’ material. When you see this post, I’ll be enjoying the sunshine in Antalya, Turkey - I’ll keep you posted about Turkey in my 2025 Calendar: 12 Countries in 12 Months, which I created for all of my subscribers. February will be dedicated to Turkey.
I’ve contrasted my stories from 2 Nordic countries with 2 Mediterranean countries, so you both get the winter cold and the much needed sunshine.
Enjoy!
In the Land of Fire and Ice: Þingvellir National Park
To me, Iceland always seemed so far away, although we’re both geographically in Europe. And also so cold, windy and, well…rough. Of course, I longed to visit it and see those volcanoes and natural wonders in person, because no documentary can picture the true beauty of a place (and I watch many).
