It had four wheel drive which really came in handy. We started with a long drive up to the Westfjords. TIP: Gas is expensive. About $6.33/ gallon so budget for gas. MOST BEAUTIFUL DRIVE OF MY LIFE. We went to Iceland at the beginning of the summer (MAY) so there was still snow on the majority of the mountains in the Westfjords region. Our first stop was Flateyri - it was pretty much a ghost town but our Air Bnb was just adorable and there was a bigger town close by where we ended up spending a good amount of time (Isafjordur, Iceland). TIP: You will be fine with paying credit card everywhere but make sure to register a PIN for it before you leave the states. We spent our first two days in this region. The drives were glorious, the towns were beautiful and there was a pretty epic waterfall close by… (Dynjandi Water Fall) STOP 2 Stykkishólmur was one of my favorite parts of this trip and the drive there was so dreamy. If you are familiar with The Secret Life of Walter Mitty this is actually the “Greenland” town that he visits then takes off from in a helicopter. It was amazing to actually be where those scenes took place. There is a large hill you can hike up next to the harbor and see the entire town. The view held me captive for two hours. Some places we also visited during this part of our trip: Kirkjufell (waterfall & mountain), Arnarstapi (arch on the coast), and the Snæfellsnes peninsula. STOP 3 Reykjavik is such a fabulous city and we got to experience a lot of it being there for 4/5 days. Concert we went to -- Alt-J Tip: Even if you have a four wheel drive car don’t get too cocky when it comes to snow. We got stuck. What got us out -- toggling a switch called "traction control" who knew. It was super stressful; however, it turned out to be one of the most memorable places we went. It was so GREEN and I truly felt like I was on a different planet. It makes for a good story. Tip: Don’t blindly trust a Garmin GPS. When it comes to landmarks (i.e. waterfalls, mountains, etc.), look them up before-hand and get the directions from humans that have been there before. Going up to the top of the church was unreal. The views were unforgettable and I am in love with how colorful the town is. - MY SOCIAL MEDIA - http://bit.ly/SaraDietschy_INSTAGRAM http://bit.ly/SaraDietschy_TWITTER http://bit.ly/SaraDietschy_ANCHOR http://bit.ly/SaraDietschy_MEDIUM http://bit.ly/SaraDietschy_SOUNDCLOUD http://bit.ly/SaraDietschy_SPOTIFY New Here? - Hi!
