Of course we couldn’t miss the “Greetings from Austin” Wall

The longest leg of our journey brought us from Haganes past Akureyri past Godafoss 💦 , Myvatn and Egilsstadir to Stödvarfjördur. So many #fjords and #snowcappedmountains🗻

Thursday night before heading to our room after dinner a lady from the hotel told us there was some great aurora action going on and indeed!! We feel blessed to have been able to witness this spectacular view. After a morning run 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ we were off to Hraun- and Barnafossar waterfalls 💦, Grabrok volcano 🌋 and the sheep 🐑…sorry, seals 🦭 along the beach north of Tjörn before arriving at our next stop - Soti Summit Lodge.

Thursday morning welcomed us a little more overcast than Wednesday but the views again didn’t disappoint. What a magic land #iceland 🇮🇸 is with all its Geysers, waterfalls and snowcapped mountains. Not to speak of the 🧚‍♀️ #travelsthroughmagiclands

#iceland welcomed us yesterday in the best possible ways with sunny ☀️ weathers and after a most pleasant flight ✈️ with iceland 🇮🇸 air which pampered us in business class. Soon we were off with our AWD to our first stopover destination, accompanied by stunningly colorful views. Thank you for organizing this trip my dear friend @pixpoochie #icelandroadtrip #amazingviews #coldbitbeautiful

The last episode of my 3 week trip took me from Caux to Montreux. I chose to pass by Chateau Chillon as I’ve never seen it for myself yet and the sight was totally worth it. After I arrived at Montreux I snapped a pic of Freddie Mercury and then finally stepped over the finishing line of the #viaalpina - what an elevating feeling!! I did it, I finished the hike over 14 (of which I was able to complete 13) alpine passes and close to 390km. And all is well, no sores, no pains - a big thank you to my most reliable body 🙏 #hike #hiking #hikingswitzerland🇨🇭 #doneit #imamachine #gratefulformybody

Today’s second to last leg of the #viaalpina started early in the deserted town of Rossinière. My path brought me along horribly steep terrain where I couldn’t snap pictures because I was too busy not dying of fear if falling. But all went well and soon I was greeted by local cows. Glimpsing a first sight of #lacleman🇨🇭 was definitely a highlight and when I first saw the station on Rochers de Naye it brought a little tear of joy, pride and honestly relieve forward 💧 So oroud of myself for having finished all the uphill parts of Via Alpina. Tomorrow it’s only downhills and then I’m pretty much and literally done!! ✅ #hiking #hikingswitzerland🇨🇭 #hike #hikeofmylife #ididit #soproud #cantreallyfindwords
