The World rose out of a chaos of fire and ice, according to the mythology of the ancient Norsemen. this is a combination very readily seen in Iceland with its Volcanic activity and spouting Geysers and the fields of ice which appear in the winter. From these opposing elements were born the first Gods. Ymir, the Ice Giant and his descendants ruled until superceded by one's more perfect and banished to Jötun-heim. the triad Odin, Vili and Ve ruled the world in turn until they retired to build palaces in Asgard, the home of the Gods.

In this world everybody has their dreams. Most people have a place in this world which they dream of visiting. Iceland was my dream. I had the opportunity of fulfilling my dream in 2002 when, by courtesy of P & O I visited both Akureyri and Reykjavik from whence I visited Goþafoss, Gullfoss, Geysir and þingviller. Iceland far surpassed my dreams. It is a fantastic country and the scenery is magnificent. The people are very nice and helpful and the air is so clear and unpolluted.
