debbieannWhen we planned this year of travel we each picked three countries and Iceland was one of mine, and it has been everything I wanted. Stunning volcanoes, amazing snow covered mountains - it is So scenic - it has fantastic waterfalls and beautiful fjords. It was great to have the first week planned by my sister and 5 of us stayed in airbnbs and saw lots of great things. One of my favorite was a closed herring factory. We had a private tour and the tour guide was great and the place was great to photograph. Now we are in a campervan and driving around and that is also great. You can no longer do any free camping though, like you can in NZ. You have to stay in designated campsite and it is $30-40/night, which seems pretty high to me, but then this is one very expensive country. At least we are making most of our own meals. And we happen to come while Iceland competed in the world cup, which was fun (last game was tonight).
So far we had one super rainy day, which is pretty darn lucky. It has been strange to get used to it being light all night long. I have to look at the time to figure out when to go to bed and when to wake up. We are meeting lots of other tourists.
Ok, off to dinner. Will post more later. Tonight we are staying in the place where the ferry goes to Faroe Islands and Denmark. Went to an art gallery and now we will have a sushi dinner (sometimes we do go out, the food in the restaurants is pretty good)
