Amazing to go and see this place - the amount of building (and environmental distrucion!) cannot be described in a short blog.

The trip was truly great, nice flight to and from Egilsstaðir and my fellow tour guides were all on good form. We drove all over the place, into tunnels in the mountains, upto the damn itself and into the valley where the new lake will form. Enjoyed lunch at the workers' main camp and had coffee and cake in another camp. Lots of snow, rendeers and geese :) Yet another great day out.

The kids also had a lovely day - they told me of their bike trip with their dad to the coast and a lovely dinner! Birta the labrador was pampered at my parents' house so it was only the cat that had to stay at home and look after the place!

A day off tomorrrow...
