Iceland is an outstanding destination topped with incredible people. On our first day, in Flatey, we were welcomed and entertained by Svavar Knútur. He instantly got the scope of our expedition as enlightened travelers. He’s a true story teller and musician that shared with us in a very personal, intimate way his passion for Iceland, nature and love. Everything about this day was amazing. The weather, the church, the library, the island, the talks, the cliffs, the food, and to top all of that an incredible waterfall. If there ever will be a song for the expedition it should go something like:
Wanderlust
Ain’t it hard to have a home
When all you’re longing for
is to ramble and roam.
It makes it hard to have a home.
And ain’t it good to say goodbye
Throw your troubles into the sky.
Makes it good to say goodbye
I have walked and I have strayed
So many roads, so many ways.
And I’ve stumbled, and I fell low,
So much to see, so much to show.
And ain’t it hard to have a home,
When all you’re longing for
is to ramble and roam.
It makes it hard to have a home.
And as the world, glides on by
on a train, a tiny sigh
leaves my mouth and greets the day,
drifts on south, floats away.
Ain’t it hard to have a home
When all you’re longing for
is to ramble and roam.
It makes it hard to have a home.
And ain’t it good to say goodbye
Throw your troubles into the sky.
Makes it good to say goodbye
Makes it sweet to say goodbye
makes it hard to have a home,
but kind of sad to be alone.
