Road Trip to Find Mr. Cat! Who's Coming?

Welcome, everyone, to my little sod hut! It's quite comfy in here, actually (especially with Björk about the premises).



Thank you, Pollyanna, for that lovely picture-tour! So, should we all head on over there?



Let's all pile into my Trabant and go! Or, we could take the horses instead (they'd be faster).



=^..^=

wow, I fell asleep in the back, and missed all the action... any Oreo's left for me?

I can't wait to meet Bjork!

And by the way, Pollyanna, Iceland looks absolutely amazing!

but, Im freeeezzzzzing... did anyone bring an extra coat? (no fur, please!):icecream:

Indeed, Björk wants you all to meet her daughter Isadora. She has a teen-age son as well, but this little girl is a very-recent arrival.





=^..^=

what a precious little baby!

Awwww easy on the driving some of US are getting thrown round in the back, arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhh another corner...

Well, Mr. Cat said we could ride horses! Anyone up for it? It should be fun. And don't worry, nunny; we're going to the warmest part of Iceland. Pollyanna said so.

Of course we can ride in Mr. Cat's Tribant if we want to. I want to ride one of the horses he brought us. That way I can see more of the scenery. Now, if someone would give me a leg up..... Oh, Sam, you're still dizzy. We'll wait for you. (I'd hate to see Sam on a roller coaster. Imagine someone thinking I'm a fast driver!)

I want to ride a horsie!!!!!!here Sam you hold my pepsi,well I do,AND don't drink it!

Please slow down... don´t forget these are gravel roads, even though it is Highway One...And look out for all the sheeps on the road too! This will end in a real disaster if you drive that fast AND enjoy the scenery AND look out for the sheeps AND look out for the traffic from the other direction...well as you can see, the road is just broad enough for 2 cars - if you are careful!

It is a bit colder today, between 50 and 60 F, so maybe we should stop at the next hand craft market and all buy us a wollen sweather. 70F is very hot for Iceland and to have that for many days is just heaven. Where we are going has the most days of 70F of the summer, so I´m sure Mr. Cat has chosen this place for his stay. And honestly, 70F in Iceland IS warmer than 70F in USA!!! (But the mean heat in tha country in July, the warmest month is maybe 54F)

Could you pass me the dried fish, its reeaaaaaly good, dont you think? Especally with butter....mmmmmmmmmmmm........

Decisions... decisions...
Do I want to ride a horse or do I want to ride in a Tribant???? And what is a tribant anyway?

Hold Pepsi NEVER!!!!!!! Yep, and I don't mind riding horses my Nana breeds them and I used to do lessons .. I hate roller coasters EeeeeeK

-Sam

Tribant?...

Don't worry about the cold, nunny: I've rounded up warm clothing for everyone! Let's start off with underwear. (Notice I didn't put a comma after "start" in that last sentence.)


Cashmere/lamb's-wool underwear, made in Iceland

Next, some nice warm socks:


Wool socks, made in Iceland

The next, logical, part is problematic: Apparently nobody wears trousers in Iceland. At least there's no finding "trousers made in Iceland" on the inter-net. So, until we figure out what they do wear, here's a picture of a gal in a somewhat-warmer climate — who's wearing trousers of the jeans variety.


Your friend and mine, Britney Spears

Moving right along, let's think about sweaters. Here's a button-front cardigan:

Or, if you prefer, here's a pull-over sweater:

How about footwear? Here are some boots:

Depending upon the weather, you might want a coat. Here are three kinds:


Woolen pull-over coats with hoods, made in Iceland

You might want a hat, too.

A scarf might be nice as well.

And don't forget to wear your mittens!

Now we've got all that covered, so to speak (except for the trousers part), here's the deal on transportation. Some of us can go in my little Trabant:




But whomever wishes, can go on horseback. Here come the horses now!







These Icelandic horses don't mind cold weather, as you can see here:



Our guides are quite good with the horses, so there's no need to worry.



Björk will be coming along with us, bringing a friend.



And I think we're going to meet this fellow:





=^..^=

Fabulaus! now Im warm AND fashionable

I look just like Britney! (NOT!)

I'm all bundled up and ready to go. Now all I have to do is decide which horse I want to ride. They're all so pretty...

Decisions...decisions...

I have to ask something:

who/what is that thing under Bjork?
Anyone?

Could this a clue to a new mistery? (like, who is the person inside? did aliens take over Iceland?)

I'm alerigic to wool, maybe I could cut up those felt boots and make a cute outfit.

Bjork is holding an owl........a clue, huh. But what could it mean......maybe something will happen at night with Miss.Kitty and the owl will be our eyes???????

Actualy I meant the picture under Bjork, but now that you mention it...

I was just going to tell you what a Trabant was--ahem--(yeah, right!) but Mr. Cat has shown a picture, and that is worth a thousand words! I LOVE the clothes! I'm slightly allergic to wool, but not when I'm on a road trip, fortunately. Dali, I hate to tell you this, but felt is also wool. Try on a sweater; after all this is a magical trip.

We could certainly go four-wheeling in that Tribant, but it's a bit small for all of us. Let's take turns following Mr. Cat on horseback-unless we want to take the TCS van too. It does have the trailer for litter. We can take turns with that, too. I'm anxious to discover what that "thing" is under Bjork! Do you know, Pollyanna?

Perhaps there ARE some clues here! This is getting very mysterious! Who knows what might be hiding in those cliffs and caves! I can't wait! Are we all mounted? NO, Lorie! Mr. Cat did NOT say "Off with the clothes! He said, "First off," (pause for the comma) "the clothes!" You'll freeze to death. Are we all ready? Pollyanna, are you riding with Mr. Cat to lead the way, and tell us what to look for?

Don't worry; he's an animal lover and will be very careful not to harm the sheep. Is it common for them to wander across the road?

I want the goldeny chestnutty colored horse in the middle , I shall call him Lorenzo

The one on the picture benieth Björk is a typical native Icelander...
Well, actually, I am just as puzzled as the rest of you about the picture. We have elfes (not small elfes, different kind, beautyful people living in big rocks that can only be seen by humans when they want to) and fairies, but that is something else...

And YES unfortunately it is very common for the sheeps to wander across the streets! You have to be extra careful when tha mommy sheep and the lambs are eating grass on seperate side of the road, because when you are almost passing, the lambs tend to run across the road to their mom.

And the Trabant WOW! I have never seen a jeep Trabant and also never a convertible one! We will have to leave it closed though, if we are going to eat something else than dust. We used to have quite a lot of Trabants here, but not anymore, I quess they´ve all gone back to Russia...

Hey, there´s a thought, it is a slight detour, but we are trawelling so magically fast...Why don´t we drive to the Blue Lagoon, there is also a restaurant there, so we can stay there for dinner, and even stay the night if you don´t want to go to the camping place.

Take a look at the Blue Lagoon

Oh, and one more thing...Mr. Cat, if the Icelandic cats start to talk to you, just say your name is Brandur, a typical name for an Icelandic cat, otherwise they will maybe be shy, they have never seen a cat from another country...

And please pass me one of those backwards Oreos, I´m so excited to try them...
