The only right way to serve breakfast!

In Iceland, besides fishing, we use fishing rods to cook eggs as well!? Here you can see how we cooked our dinner last night. Izlandon nem csak halászatra használjuk a horgászbotot, hanem tojásfőzésre is! Tegnap így készült a vacsora. ? #erlendistravel #iceland #dinner #egg #hardboiled #crazy #mik #ikozosseg #igersiceland #ihu #ihub #cooking #nature #GVpics #hungarian_photographers #mutimiteszel #mutimitcsinalsz #imagyar #magyarinsta #hotspring #healthy #travel #mutimiteszel_fitt #protein #hot #water

The perfect tourism kit made out of pure necessities.

And I've finally finished this one (sure, inspiration only comes with exams and loads of essays to write ?) and also I bought too many postcards cause they're sooo cute ? #инстаграмнедели #instagramrussia #vsco #vscocam #vscogood #vscorussia #whatsonrvk #babystasjalivesiniceland #instagramrussia #ísland #iceland #ig_iceland #icelandair #icelandairinfo #livefolk #scandinaviaclub #igersiceland #mystopover #gvpics #lopapeysa #knitted_dreams_magazine #knitting #instaknitters #vscoknit #i_loveknitting #вяжутнетолькобабушки

These horses have found their own way of creating heat in this freezing cold.
