It's important to travel in style. Photo by Katka.
Main topic on Friday was the upcoming storm but it turned out be a load of bullshit. We came across only few spots of ice and snow whilst driving on the mountains, otherwise it was just really windy. I mean REALLY windy. I've never pissed as far as during our break.
Hours of driving in the "stormy" weather wasn't enough for us. We decided to seek our apartment hotel in Reykjavík for one hour more. People in my car got really frustrated following the "navigating" car. Navigating in this context means a guessing game.
At destination, we found the keys to our rooms left on a table in the main lobby. Icelandic reliance is amazing.
Saturday: Geysir, Gullfoss and the capital
Gullfoss
I'm glad we went to see Geysir and Gullfoss – now I know not to visit them again. I'm getting tired of visiting popular sights. Not just because they are very commercial but because they have nothing to do with the real Iceland.
Yeah, and we aren't tourists... Alberto, Katka, Bianca, Eetu and Aiga.
After spending seven weeks in Akureyri, I've already gotten used to small town atmosphere. All the noise, traffic and quantity of people in Reykjavík was shocking. I felt like we had accidentally driven to a another country – partly because the streets were full of people speaking any other language besides Icelandic.
Even though Reykjavík is a big city, the city centre is on one street, Laugardagur. The street is quite long (~2 km) and full of shops, restaurants and bars side by side. Still, it seems that no matter how many bars they build they are always full. No chance getting a seat.
