The coast line around Cala Gonone (Italy, Sardinia) is impressive, with cliffs and caves. Best seen from a boat.

We arrived at Sardinia, Italy, for a round-trip at this second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. We will drive clockwise around the island, starting and ending in Cagliari.

How could we not visit the colourful city of Bosa. Bosa has been my codename in the company I have worked for: the first two letters of my first name and the first two letters of the  surname.

Hverir is a geothermal area at the foothill of Namafjall, not far from Lake Myvatn.
The area features colorful sulphurous mud springs, steam vents, cracked mud and fumaroles. The area is also known as  Hverarönd or Namaskard.

Jökulsárlón is a large glacial lake in the southern part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. Icebergs calve from the glacier edge and drifts towards the river mouth, dependent on tide, wind and size.

Harpa is a concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. Harpa was opened in 2011. The building features a distinctive colored glass facade inspired by the basalt landscape of Iceland. Harpa was designed by the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects in co-operation with Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson.

We touched down in Iceland for a 2-week round trip to explore the beautiful landscape of the country, but starting with a short visit of the capital Reykjavik.

We have spent a week in Porto and Lisbon. Visiting Porto was for the second time since 1988, while we have been in Lisbon more often in recent years. The photo shows the classic view of the city along the river Douro.

This is not a hopeful picture: a common coot has built a nest from garbage in dirty water. Photo taken in the city of Rotterdam.
