Iceland

Leif Erikson would be proud of our conquest of Iceland! We covered a lot of ground and we can check this box off the list.

What an enchanting land full of rich history and amazing people. How can a place that gets this cold have people so warm?

  • The total population of the entire country is around 375,000.

  • 132,000 live in Reykjavík, the capital and largest city.

Getting Around Iceland…

Do you really need to rent a car yourself?

A vehicle is a must and the best is an SUV preferably with 4-wheel drive. There is a lot to see and why not navigate your own course?

Black Sand Beach

Reynisfjara is a black-sand beach found on the South Coast of Iceland, just beside the small fishing village of Vík í Mýrdal.

The Northern Lights

The first night they appeared it was vivid but brief. The clouds were heavy but lights found a crease and popped their head out to say hello.
