Iceland
About Iceland
Iceland, the ‘Land of Ice and Fire’, is famed for its almost mythical natural beauty and extreme weather conditions. When we visited, we knew that we were about to embark on the biggest adventure of our lives so far. You could spend several lifetimes in the epic ‘Land of the Gods’ and you still won’t discover all it has to offer.
This travel guide to Iceland will prepare you to make the most of your trip, although nothing will prepare you for the sense of awe you’ll feel when you finally get there! We spent 3 months in Iceland and toured the country on our trusty push-bikes — you can take the Dutch out of the Netherlands, but you can’t take the Netherlands out of the Dutch!
We camped almost every night, mostly in the wild, sometimes going days without seeing another living creature. The surroundings blessed us with magical sights and breathtaking wonders. Few places in the world offer this kind of experience in this day and age.
Sounds like your kind of trip? Then this Iceland travel guide is for you!
