Perito Moreno, Patagonia of my heart

HEYMAEY ISLAND, MARCH 15TH 2010! Getting to Heymaey, even if so close to the Icelandic coast, has been a travel itself. The ferry from Þorlákshöfn takes an absurd ride for about 3 hours before docking. That means if the sea is not calm like it was today, it can be hell. In fact, even with […]
