- as always alone traveled 2000km by hitchhiking around Iceland
I will help you to fall in love with it even before your arrival. It is so special that it looks like another planet. On the one hand- huge mountains, on the other - the endless ocean. The country of cold wind and blue waterfalls. She is. ICELAND.
You will need a swimsuit, wool underwear and lots of snacks:
Swimsuit MUST HAVE, because you HAVE TO swim every day. Even in the smallest town there is a swimming pool, and a couple of kilometers away there is a natural hot spring in the open air. You sit like in an expensive SPA, especially romantic when it rains … Around the mountains, sheep, horses with funny hairstyles. Great?)
Wool thermoclothes is necessary because the wind literally blows you away. Blowing through all your ten layers of clothing, so instead of ten sweaters, just take a wool thin thermo.
And I recommend you to take snacks, because you will lose energy very quickly. There are chocolate, nuts, candy, bars. Save money on snacks.
For how long to go? What season?
How much money?
One to two weeks will be enough. Then you have time to drive around the only highway in Iceland, around the whole country, you can stop in different corners. And if you go for a week, then I advise you to travel the entire southern part;)
If you want to fulfill a dream and see the northern lights, drive from November to March. If you want fewer tourists, go in the off-season, I advise April. And if you do not want to freeze and know how to plan ahead - go in the summer.
To eat at the restaurant - 30 euro, in a cafe - 20 euro, from a supermarket - 10 euro. Be ready for the prices:muscle:
Wake up and look around. CLOSE YOUR EYES, BREATHE, HEAR.
The most comfortable option for you would be a 4x4 car rental, because it will be possible to drive with it literally everywhere. On all the glaciers and waterfalls, and to the black beaches, birds, whales and seals.
Already planning the next trip. I am waiting very much
