Vikings Across Africa
Overlanding Africa, Morocco to South Africa, and where else to start such a trip but in Iceland. This is where I'm travelling with a group of 15 other people, for 6 months, in an old Bedford truck, through ~20 different countries.
Driving off a Bridge

This is when we drive over the Atlas mountains and start to bush camp, and we end up having a pretty bad accident with the truck. Everybody are still alive though, and we keep going, visiting Todra Gorge and Marrakesh.

Crossing the North Sea
January 9, 2016
Taking the ferry across the North Sea from Iceland to Denmark in the middle of the winter. Yes, it was almost like a ghost ship, yes, there was a bit of a storm, yes, I got seasick...
Driving across Iceland

We're starting our journey from Reykjavik to South Africa by crossing over to the east coast of Iceland to take the ferry to Denmark. A beautiful drive along the Islandic south coast including waterfalls, glacier ice, and a viking village.
Iceland in Winter
January 1, 2016
The Vikings Across Africa trip, Reykjavik to Cape Town, doesn’t officially start until the 2nd of January. I’ve been told that Iceland is an amazing place though so I decided to go earlier, and after a week in and around Reykjavik I can’t but agree.
