Northern light even in Reykjavík! ... Polarni zare i v Reykjavíku!

Yesterday was so beautifull weather whole day (blue sky without any couds), so I was pretty sure that it will be possible to see Northern lights. Unexpectly they were pretty stron and visible from early evening (around 21:00h).

Here is a picture taken from our balcony (without any changes in brightnes ;)


Today is the same weather as yesterday, so I´m really looking forward to see them again. Funny and beautifull is, that it´s changing all the time, never stays the same for a longer time. Just pity, that I´m not on the north of the country - could see even red ones or different colours. Here on the south is only green. But never mind - it´s still cool!

Christmas in CZ

Hello everyone,

I would like to announce you, that I am arriving for Christmas home, back to Czech Republic. My flight comes on 21.12. 2005 to Prague and I am leaving back to Reykjavik on 7.1.2006.

I plan to stop by in Ostrava, just have to find out the best date. Any advices from your side???? I would like to have some party with you, chat with you a lot and so on. I haven´t seen you for such a long time, so we have to use opportunity to spend some time togeather.

JOB - again change

On Monday I gave up job in Fosshotel Baron.

After horrible weekend, full of arguments and bad dicussions where I should work more and which place is priority, I decided to hardly talk with my new boss (well, he his more firend than "boss", but anyway I had to solve this problem out).

So, finally, after unsecure time about my job ( i was not sure how many hours I will have in each of them) I got really good deal with Guesthouse Flóki. He offered me the same hours (min.70 hr) per months as in Baron, for the same mone and with better conditions. So I said, yes for working only for him!

Now I :
- don´t need to get up at 5 a.m. :), I start work at 9 a.m. or 10 a.m.
- don´t need to use a bike to get to work, I can take a bus (which is great advantage in winter, because I heard that here are really icy paths at that time - proste naledi jak prase)
- and mainly don´t need to work with DEBIL NABIL :)))))) any more

Takze: Praci cest, soudruzi!

News of the days 24.9.-14.10.

Again many things happen since I was posting my last message to this blog. So, it´s time for update!


Golden Circle, Sunday 1.10.

This day I become a turist :) Me, our trainee Nicole, her sister Denise and her friend Wing made a trip to Icelandic nature. Finally I will see something from Icelandic nature!!! :) I was happy about that trip.

Golden Circle is quite famous turist "round". Area is lying around 2 hrs from Reykjavik and if you are not in a hurry, it is nice whole-day trip. We borrowed a care, so it was no stress and no hurry, so we could really enjoy the beauty of the nature :)

Golden Circle consists of:

1) national park Þingvellir (cti Thingvelir) - includes the biggest natural lake in Iceland, lot of nice flawers, small waterfall, huge stone-massiv (behind Alþing) and Alþing itself - the oldest senate place in Iceland, u can see on the picture - nejstarsi senatni misto (asi z doby 930 n.l.), kde se schazeli "sendatori" a konali roszsudky (napr. zenske topili v nedalekem vodopadu)

2) beautiful waterfall Gulfoss - on the picture - bottom part. Padajici ve dvou kaskadach do 70m prurvy, dlouhe asi 3 km - proste bozi. On second picture are we with the background of the upper part of waterfall.

3) Geysir - second biggest geysir on the world. Right now geysir called Geysir is not spreading water, but instead of him is there 4th biggest geysir called Strokkur (water is going up to 30m high and intervals are around 7-9 minutes). All around where also small hot-pots (one of them is on second picture-it had really unnatural blue colour, but I don´t know why).
Cesky asi takto: Geysir je gejzir, ktery je druhy nejvesti na svete (po nejakem v USA). Momentalne gejzir se jmenem Geysir uz netryska vodu (leda ze by bylo nejake zemetreseni, ktere by zvysilo napeti), ale misto toho je tam na zaskok mensi gejzir Strokkur (4. nejvesti na svete) ktery tryska kazdych 7-9 minut, do vysky 30m.Na druhe fotce je jeden z malych horkych jezirek. Tohle melo zrovna takovou neprirozenou blede-modrou barvu. Proc? To fakt nevim.


4) crater Kerið (cti Keridt) - with water inside. Not really something special, but it was enough for me - for seeing it for first time it was nice :)

It was really great trip. Also weather was quite ok - basicly typical Icelandic one (raining, then windy, then sunny...).

New job

Yeah, at the same day we did a trip I got a phone-call from one guy from Fosshotel Baron (Alper). He was working at the reception before and now he became a manager of new guesthouse. He asked me if I want to work for him as a cleaning lady.

I agreed, because I can have finally freedom from my stupid collegue at work and also I can insure, that I will have stable income. ... you know, tourist sesone is slowing donw and it will be less and less people in Iceland. Which means also less and less work.

So, I will work in Fosshotel Baron as before (but probably only Friday-Sunday) and the rest as they need me in Guesthouse Flóki.

Now I have two jobs + AIESEC and I hope I will not get crazy soon ;)

Think Big conference - Friday 7.10. - Sunday 9.10.

Our first national and also local conference in one! It was amazing! We got such a great people there, we had also perfect chair and whole EB was doing their best to run conference as perfect as possible.

I have to say, that this was one of my best conferences ever!!! And also it was really cool evaluation of our really long work on recruitment and agenda developement. And especialy for me as VP HR the most :). We got 11 newies (included SNs, who are going to be members as well).

I really enjoyed it and honestly have to say, I LOVE OUR NEWIES !!! I think we set uped pretty good base for future and I believe, that AIESEC in Iceland will rock this year :) !! On the picture are not all ppl from conference, but i love this picture so much ;).


It was magic conference as well. I saw for first time in my life northen lights (polarni zari). It was beautiful!!! Nice green light going all over the night sky, coming up from small line into big one.... it´s hard to discribe, you have to see it! I was also trying to take a picture of that. Unfortunatelly it is not so visible in PC as it was on camera, but I changed a bit brightness and contrast, so you can see it :)



Horse riding - Wednesday 12.10.
Yeah, man! Another tourist atraction. Me, Kristín and her US friend went horse riding this Wednesday.


It was really cool and funny :) Last time I was sitting on horse when I was i think 14 yrs old. And it was not even riding. So now I had really chance to do it.

It was funny to sit on a horse, who is doing whatever he wants and doesn´t want to listen rider. I really didn´t know how to tell him to go faster .. just saying "Hop, hop" was not enough from me. He was used to strong and deep voices, so I had to change my voice to be able to force him to do something :))))


Next week we are ending with interviews and AC, so we can finally start working! Hurá.

That´s all for now.. tá dí á dí dá ;)
