JULES
I only booked my plane ticket at the last moment, but here we are in Iceland with our windsurfing, camping, video and photo equipment, ready to enjoy a trip that promises so much excitement. Upon my arrival, Thomas tells me about the thrill of his first day here with Sophia. I think the exact reason we came to Iceland was this type of search for simple and beautiful places quietly waiting to be discovered. We just decided to hit the road as friends, look at the maps for the best spots, sleep under the stars – rocked by the waves – and perhaps stop once in a while at some Icelandic bars to feel the deep pulse of the country. We did feel very cold at the beginning, but the beauty of the landscapes made us feel good pretty quickly. Waterfalls everywhere, natural hot springs, each rainbow more beautiful than the last, the stunning contrast between mountains and ocean, the huge glaciers, the geysers – that reach up to 50 meters in the sky – the cliffs, the sun, the cross-offshore winds, the birds and – the silence.
