Hej Hlin
Tusind tak for at du var med til at give os nogle skønne dage på Island. Vi sætter stor pris på dine gode råd og hjælp samt den fantastiske morgenmad :) Vi håber vi får mulighed for at komme til Island igen inden længe. I så fald vil vi hellere end gerne kigge forbi Grettisgata igen.
I må have det rigtig godt.
Mange hilsner fra

Dear Hlin and Sigurgeir, 
We got married in September and would like to come to Iceland for our honeymoon in April
Summer 2009
Takk fyrir for the picture.
Our stay has been great as we were able to see all we had planned to,
and even more, thanks to some advice Siggy gave us (Haifoss,
Solheimajökull, Fjallsarlon...). Unfortunately, the Hekla volcano
didn't erupt... Leaving Forsæla, we went to Pinvellir (before the
hotel bursted into flames...), Geysir and Gulfoss. It was a perfect
sunny day. We came back to Laugarvatn on road F338 and 337. Great
though bumpy landscapes. The rest of the trip was ideal too :
Galtalækur and Landmanalaugar, Svinafell (fog on the Jökulsarlon),
Vik and back to Reykjavik. The families splitted and we went to
Stykkisholmur and Snafælnes for a couple of days to ride horses and
eat fish.
Well, we really enjoyed the whole trip in this nice summer and the
kids really had a good time (they loved going to swimming pools,
seeing horses, snaking around icelandic food... and sleeping late).
Also, starting our holidays by being in a house has made it all more
comfortable and typical.
And if you wish to come to Paris once, let us know, as we might as
well find a "pied-à-terre" for you.
With best regards
Sébastien, Cécile, Nestor et Lorette
Lisa and her son Andrew joined us as well.

Dear Hlin and Siggi!
We only booked one night but thanks to coincidence we were so lucky to stay for nine instead!
When I first saw the web-page I thought this would be nice to stay but in reality it was even better!
You've been so helpful with the bookings of our trips, hostels in the west fiords and always in a good mood, never in a hurry.
It felt really good to come back after four nights in the north west - almost like coming home...
Thanks for being our holiday-mum!
Thanks also for the wonderful hiking trip to the hot springs. this was one of the nicest things we did here in iceland -
and the whale-BBQ afterwards...I just can't write down everything.
Take care & wish you all the best!
Thanks Jule & Anna.

A "Fish Sup gathering". July the 12th was one of these wonderful
long summer-days that you enjoy most to stay out door as long as
there is day light.
Well that would actually mean for 24 hours and on such a night what
is more delightful than to sit together with friends making a BBQ or
enjoying a tasteful fish-sup. Siggi was the photographer so there is
me, Claudia and Peter from Germany, our next door neighbors and
friends Huld , Thorgerdur and Alfheidur.

Vi hade höga förväntningar på Islandsresan.
Sönernas födelsedagspresent till mamma, men förväntingarna överträffades med råge.
Vädret var fantastiskt, Island fantastiskt vackert och du Hlin är en fantastisk gästfri och omtänksam värdinna. Vi har bott trivsamt med ett perfekt läge och varje gäng vi behävt hjälp med något har du kommit och löst problemen.
Tack fär en härlig vistelse hos dig!

Thank you so very much for having us in your little house. I felt like I lived here, and I loved this little street too. it reminded me both of home in NY, and also that there is another place across the sea that i can call home too. I’m actually very sad to leave Iceland, but ecxpecially very sad to leave this little red and white house.
Oh well, I guess we will just HAVE to come again in the very nearest future.
We saw the most beautiful sightswhile we were in Iceland. Some of the most amazing landscapes I have ever seen. But among my favorite was seeing the stars in the sky down our front yard on our last night here.
All my best for you,
Jesse Smith
Thank you for having us in your lovely house...
We really felt at home!

fine porcelain cats...

TACK! För trevligt bemötande och bra utrustning i
köket med diskmedel, trasa, handduk, kaffebryggare, hushållsrulle,
underlägg. Jättetrevligt! verkligen.
De är inte alltid sådant finns når man hyr
lägenhet.
Ursäkta att vi glömde nycklen.
Hälsning med kram

og hlýlegar móttökur.
Takk fyrir okkur enn og aftur og sjáumst
vonandi fljótlega aftur.

Hlin,
Thank you so much for making our trip to Iceland so wonderful. It was
such a pleasure to meet you. You went out of your way to help us, and we
greatly appreciate it. The drive around the city was such a great idea
and we learned so much. I can´t wait to come back next summer (or maybe
sooner) for my next visit!
Takk Fyrir,

As always it has been a pleasure to stay right next door to the both of
you for my 7th time in Iceland. I want to thank you for the
accommodations as well as temporarily having me as a part of your family.
The Christmas and New Year´s gatherings were great. But I still wasn´t
brave enough to taste the skate!
I hope that future travelers will have as much fun as I did with the
tour that Siggi made with Igor, Lisa and me. I know that saying goodbye
would be silly, that usually means bye forever. It´s just a matter of
time until I find myself back in Iceland!
Hopefully, I´ll be back soon either creating
more photos or exhibiting them.

It is very hard for me to believe that my 2 weeks in
Reykjavik will be over. I have had such a
wonderful time that it is very hard to put into words. From the sights
of the city to the Blue Lagoon, to Gullfoss waterfall, the scenary
outside the city......I guess the best word that I could use to describe
is “Magic”. I must also say that I have been made feel quite welcome
here, being a stranger in a strangeland on my first trip to Iceland.
Everyone has been fantastic and I will take great memories home to
Philadelphia, U.S.A. of my time here. Thank you Hlin
and Siggi for being great hosts.
Take care

Ciao a tutti coloro che sono venuti a visitare questa meravigliosa
cittá. Siamo Igor e Lisa Benedetti e la nostra esperienza qui a
Reykjavik é stata stupenda. non solo per il fatto che é stato il nostro
viaggio di nozze o luna di miele ( chiamatela come volete) ma perche
sono stati 11 giorni indimenticabili per noi. Siamo riusciti a visitare
gran parte della cittá con le sue numerose chiese, musei e le
innumerevoli decorazioni natalizie. Le illuminazioni sono dappertutto ed
anche per i meno impressionabili sarebbe difficile non rimanere a bocca
aperta. Una caratteristica davvero strana (per noi) é stato il tempo. le
condizioni meteo cambiano ogni 10 minuti e da un momento all'altro
potevi guardare le stelle o trovarti nel mezzo di una tempesta di neve:
in ogni caso il meraviglioso panorama non cambiava. Siamo davvero felici
di avere intrapreso questo viaggio perche abbiamo potuto conoscere due
persone stupende, amichevoli e ospitali come Hlin e Siggi che hanno
saputo consigliarci ed aiutarci ad organizzare le nostre giornate. Fin
dal primo giorno ci siamo sentiti come a casa nostra e per noi é stato
motivo di spensieratezza. Auguriamo a tutti coloro che leggeranno queste
poche rigehe di provare oppure avere provato) le nostre stesse
sensazioni ed emozioni.
un bacio a tutti. Ciao Ciao
Lisa e Igor

Dear Hlin,
We want to thank you again for your hospitality. Staying
with you contributed to the great time we have had in Iceland.
Beautiful country. We really enjoy looking
back at all the pictures we have made on the trip. We would want to
withhold you two picture: One impression of
Casper and the impression of the northern lights. Apparently, it was
possible to capture it on photo after all. We hope we can visit you
again the next time when we come to Iceland. Breakfasts are definitely
less tasty without the trout.
Thanks and regards,
Trudy & Simon

Dear Hlin,
Thank you for everything and hope to see you three (Casper the cat as
well of course) in the future.
Best regards,
