First of all, I love the photos. Whenever I think of Iceland, I get so excited about the potential there is to capture beautiful images, like many of these you share with us today, they take my breath away.
Now as for the story, 300km in one day, what a ride! But that's the thing about Iceland, those long distances and beautiful roads that seem endless. The first photo, the huts, are they part of the farm?
I had no idea about the heart shape in the traffic lights, what a nice detail, I thought that only in big cities like Berlin or Madrid you get this style of cultural winks.
I loved the visit to the shark museum, thanks for detailing that part of the experience, it is one of the things I would like to do when I have the chance to visit Iceland. Thank you so much for the details and facts about each place visited.
The last photo is epic, but what is it, a piece of wood? The background looks spectacular, very nice shot.
Hi @ninaeatshere, I'm super glad you enjoyed reading my post! I understand you when you say that you get excited when you look at the photos, that's how I felt before the trip, but let me tell you that I still have this feeling when I look at these photos.
300 km is a nice distance to cover on Icelandic roads in one day, given that there are no highways, and you have to stick to the speed limit because you never know where a speed camera is hiding to punish your impatience. Fortunately, it was summer time, when there was no night, so we were able to carry out our plan.
That's right, the houses in the first photo are part of the museum. These are the auxiliary buildings, a little away from the living house, where they had workshops and storage rooms.
As for the shark meat tasting, what can I say. You should definitely try it, but it's not a gourmet experience in my opinion. But you'll remember this taste forever 🤣 Every time I smell the ammonia-based glass cleaner, I thought of this special dish 🙃
The last photo was taken in the courtyard of the hotel where we spent the night. At first I thought it was a shell, but when I got closer I realised it was a piece of dried branch, although it reminded me of a snake. The hill in the background is Kirkjufell, which is considered one of the most photographed and iconic locations in Iceland, but more about that in my next post!
When you get the chance to visit Iceland, just grab it, you won't regret it! Thanks for stopping by!
