Near Ísafjörður, Westfjords. An awesome setting and a great hostel. A long day hike goes over the pass at the left, more feasible with less snow.
A popular albergue/hostel in St Jean Pied de Porte for people who are walking the Camino de Santiago.

The ship that you see in the background is a hostel named Af Chapman. It's a very nice place to stay at if you want to stay in the center of Stockholm, and don't want to spend too much money on once of the fancy hotels. The shot was taken during my photo walk with Johan Lindström.

The monastery of Saint Barnabas (or Ayios Barnabas) was a church on the island of Cyprus, located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of Constantia. The site is today within Northern Cyprus and functions as a museum.
The original shrine church was founded in the late fifth century, perhaps in 477, when the Emperor Zeno financed the construction of a basilica near the spot where the body of Barnabas was discovered by Archbishop Anthemius. Funding was also provided by local notables. The church had a timber roof and included stoas, gardens, aqueducts, and hostels intended for receiving pilgrims. It may have been expected that pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem might stop in Constantia and visit the shrine. The sixth-century Laudatio Barnabae describes the new tomb of Barnabas as decorated with silver and marble. It also attested the existence of a monastic community living beside the shrine. The relics were eventually moved to the basilica of Saint Epiphanius in Constantia.
Two buildings were added to the complex during the reign of Justinian I (527–565) by the next archbishop, Philoxenos, who left a short inscription recording his work. In the late seventh century, the basilica was destroyed during Arab raids.
Today, what remains of the original basilica is incorporated in the east end of a newer vaulted basilica of the cross-in-square type, built around 900. The church has three aisles and two flat domes on tall drums. It may have been the residence of the archbishops for a couple centuries after the abandonment of Constantia in the late eighth century.
Although the second construction remained standing throughout the centuries and continued function as a pilgrimage church, the continuity of the monastic community, although possible, cannot be demonstrated. Wilbrand of Oldenburg visited the church in the 13th century, noting that the city around it was "destroyed". In 1735, Vasil Grigorovich-Barsky visited the site and drew a sketch of the cloisters, courtyards and outbuildings. The current form of the buildings is a result of work done in 1756 by Archbishop Philotheos. Between 1971 and 1974, the monastery had three monks who made their living by selling honey and painting icons. The monastery was abandoned following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
No longer hosting a monastic community, the church today function as a museum of icons. The former cloisters host an archaeological museum with artefacts going back to the neolithic.
I didn't know that they had a hostel when we came here and I was curious about it. This is the entrance to the hostel. Notice the inviting razor wire greeting you as you arrive. There was a sign saying they were open, but it was kind of hard to get through the locked gate and razor wire.
I looked at some pictures and read some reviews of the place and most people had nice things to say about the hostel environment. For only $30 you can get a place to sleep for the night. If you do stay here, you have to remember you are off the grid and they don't have all the normal amenities. No running water, flush toilets, or on grid electricity.
You have a community outdoor shower, porta potties, and a shared outdoor cooking area. You will be sleeping in an old camper that probably can't be put on the road again. Sound inviting, then get onto the air bnb site and reserve a room.
I paid for my Limerick overnights with money made doing some busking at the castle with my tinwhistle.
