The absolute best thing this week is that we are in Iceland! Lovely, lovely Iceland - it's great to be here again! This Friday we're also delighted that we managed to solve a strange problem by restarting the internet. We're also happy for all the nice comments about our new blog layout!

As we told you yesterday, we have just travelled to Iceland to experience the Icelandic food festival. Food and Fun. It feels great to relive Iceland (where we were last in 2012) and to try a lot of exciting food. It's also great to meet new and old blog friends.
So far we've had a lovely and relaxing visit to the geothermal spa. Blue Lagoon. Loving really this place, where you can chill in the warm water no matter how cold the air is, and maybe slip over to the bar in the water and order a beer... The top picture in the post is from here, and was taken by Christian, from Food and travel blog. We will tell you more soon!
Restarting the internet
For several weeks now, many (wordpress) blogs I read have looked strange (to me). I've been able to see all the text, but the layout has been totally non-existent and I've often been unable to comment (as there was no longer a submit button to press). After much troubleshooting, I've finally realised that the problem is with our internet.
Our internet at home in the houseboat worked perfectly. Otherwisebut apparently the css code (related to the layout) would not download from some pages. Soooo strange! We called the internet provider this week and they restarted our internet. Now it seems I can read blogs normally again. Happy Friday!
Thanks for the nice comments!
We would also like to thank you for the nice comments about our new layout of the blog! We have been a little bit nervous about the reactions, but we have received many very positive comments which really made us happy!
It's also great that the sun has been visiting during the week! What has been the best part of your week?

Nice that you have got the internet back in order 🙂 But especially nice for you to come back to Iceland! A fantastic country 🙂
I have only bathed in the Blue Lagoon once, and that was in 1985. There was nothing there at all, apart from the lagoon, a jetty and a small private and locked changing room. We were all alone there, the four of us who went there together. Until an old man came sneaking out of the vapours in the lagoon... A little eerie almost 🙂 There was nowhere to shower either so we were not so fresh on the rest of that trip, you could say 😀.
Best of the week was probably our little mini-trip to Totana. Even though it probably comes as a surprise, I like to look around 😀.

Can only agree that Iceland is amazing! 🙂 I was at the Blue Lagoon the first time in 1992. Then there was perhaps a little more than what you describe, but it was far away from today's facility 😉.

It's a great feeling when troublesome and "unsolvable" internet problems are finally solved.
The best thing this week has been all the signs of spring. The snow is gone, there are snowdrops in the garden and D has been able to hang the washing out to dry.
Enjoy your stay in Iceland. I can see that you are enjoying it.

So nice to get both the Internet and your beautiful blog in order.
I have to choose yesterday, my last day of work, as the highlight of the week. I was so wonderfully courted by my work colleagues.
Now we're heading for a weekend in Uppsala in glorious spring weather (ignoring the fact that the weather forecast promises both snow and cold).
Have a great weekend in beautiful Iceland!

What great pictures! The blue lagoon looks absolutely magical. Iceland is on the top of our bucket list so we are hoping for a trip there soon. Do you know how family-friendly the lagoon is?

Iceland is an amazing country! We heard (haven't double checked though) that the Blue Lagoon is allowed for children from 2 years and up.

Oh what a lovely spa!!! Nice that you can read wordpress blogs again! Would have missed you otherwise...;) It's not easy to find in the internet jungle when it hassles! This week it has been sunny here so the husband has been able to be out and fix a little with the camper. I myself was with my parents and visited. Bakelsday was yesterday too! Maria name day. Continue and enjoy now!!! 😉

Will be so fun to see more pictures from Iceland and the food of course. Oh yes, it is absolutely wonderful that such a "banal" thing as a reboot can solve a relatively large problem. Good there:-)

Pretty much everything has been the best this week. Have had a great week at work, quiet but still ticked a thousand things on the to-do list. Quiet evenings. A run in the sunset on Friday evening. And not least, a long walk along the hiking trail in the sun yesterday.
