My hometown Hella in the South of Iceland has a magical destination for geologists - The Caves of Hella. These mysterious caves include wonderful sedimentary layers rarely seen in Iceland, but it's also an important historical site.

Went to this VERY Asian style noodle restaurant on Sauchiehall Street in #Glasgow called ZhangLiang Malatang and it is excellent 👌🏼 It's a pick & mix your own ingredients and price is by weight. Choose a broth and they put it all together for you. Took me right back to travels in Asia.
