Nature Up the Wazoo
One step out of the airport and there are already breathtaking views. Big white mountains jetting out from the black ground. All the photos online of Iceland accurately represent the landscapes perfectly. Every five minutes the weather changes. For example, when I arrived, it was bright and sunny. After a short 10 minute visit at a friends house, it started snowing.
‘If you don’t like the weather just wait a little while and it will change,’ an Icelandic saying.
Everyone should go to Iceland at some point in their life if they like nature. It is a truly magical place. Something a lot of people don’t research about before booking their tickets is how expensive life is in Iceland. Make sure to have a big budget. Going to the supermarket will help cut down on cost but is still not very cheap.
There is one pass that closes when there is really bad weather. If caught on the wrong side of the pass cars are forced to take a detour… all the way around the ring (1,332 kilometers/828 miles).
