Iceland
Iceland, the land of fire and ice. What a beautiful place with amazing scenery and experiences unlike anywhere else in the world. Lava rocks, caves, geysers, and of course, hot springs. This was our very first stop in our world adventure tour! We spent eight amazing days here, here are the highlights of our time there.
We covered the west and south parts of Iceland. Nine days is technically enough to circle the island on the ring road, but we decided to cover less area and spend more time exploring the places we visit. This turned out to be the right decision for us; even at this schedule, we felt a bit rushed at certain places, especially at Snæfellsnes peninsula. We like to take our time at places we enjoy, and had we done the ring road in 9 days, it would be a ton of driving and not much time exploring. The first four days were jam packed, then we eased up a bit.
