Árshatið pretrip outing with Ásta


Pictures are at the bottom...

Our company was having an árshatið, or annual party. It was out of town, and we were staying in a hotel overnight. I was in charge of the entertainment for the company for the afternoon, while we rode the bus out there.

I had a few ideas, but I wanted to go and check them out, and Ásta, one of the girls at work, who was also organising the weekend agreed to come along for a tour in the country and have a look around.

My original plan was basically ruled out. Roads still closed with snow and abandoned pools, but we had a good tour around anyway. We also got to actually visit the hotel we were going to be staying in.


The pool at Brautatunga.  Still hot, but still deserted.

Ásta and I were the only visiters that day.  Lundarreykjadalur is not very high on the tourist radar.
