Last thursday ( october 27th ) the new Coast Guard Ship,Thor arrived in Iceland after a long sailing from Chile.
Thor was built in Chile .
This is a big ship and with every high tech,that is a available today.
And the Icelandic Coast Guard invited the owners ( the Icelandic public ) to visit and see the ship up close , on friday ,saturday and sunday .
Then it will sail around Iceland , to visit and let everybody else in Iceland see this beutiful ship.
It is very important for sailors who sail around Iceland to have a excellent coast guard ship,and also for the people of Iceland.
That is to help ships that are having trouble ,and also people ,transporting rescue services,and so on.

All the vessels in the Coast guard are named after the Nordic Gods, -Odinn ,Tyr ,Aegir and so on.
And this one is named Thor , the third Coast Guard ship in history ,having that name.
Thor,the God of thunder,son of Odinn.

So this is a very proud day for Icelanders .

Protest in Iceland october 3 2011 - lots of noise , video and photos

Yesterday ( monday oct.3) members of the goverment and parliement held their first speaches in Parliement.
The Goverment about how things are and how they are going to be.
And the oposition telling their side on how things are and how things are going to be.
But outside, people gathered with empty oil barrels and made a lot of noise.
With this ,they are telling parliemtn and the goverment ,both sides, that the public is not happy.
According to an opinion poll, the goverment has just about 10% support,and the oposition in parliemtn has only 7% support.
So members of parliement and the goverment are not respected much by the people in Iceland .
Here you can see my video from the protest .
