Once again, my Viking Soul comes back home.

From there, I thought, I would travel through this country and return by the same route to Spain after a month. However, in the end I decided to get modern and go faster; therefore, I flew from Madrid to London early one morning, and from London to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.
