Welcome to heaven!
Take Norway, Eire, Scotland (3 of my favorite locations), then add a dab of one thing completely distinctive… and also you get the breathtaking Westfjords in Iceland.
It’s not a big space, however round every nook is a view that makes your jaw drop. I feel I finished round 9000 occasions and virtually crammed up a tough drive with images and drone footage! The YouTube video is simply going to encompass me going ‘wow’ loads!
There are many scorching springs, among the largest cliffs in Europe, fjords, mountains, lakes, and even tropical white sand seashores (unsure how heat the water is although!)
You possibly can drive it in a circle, with a few off-shoots. Be warned, the roads are NOT for the faint-hearted. Some are nice, however some are gravel and VERY bumpy, though doable in a 2WD motorhome.
The worst have been the pretty steep inclines and descents (15% at one level!), on gravel, with completely no security boundaries to cease you sliding over should you obtained a hairpin incorrect… 😳
However don’t let that put you off visiting. It’s BEAUTIFUL and has been one of many highlights of the journey thus far. Don’t miss the waffle cafe- they’re scrumptious! Whales are repeatedly seen within the fjord there too.
I used to be so fortunate to get pleasure from two days of sunshine earlier than the rain began, so I obtained to play with the drone loads (particularly the ‘observe’ mode). Simply watch out for the wind- there might be actually sturdy gusts once you flip a nook. Oh, and the birds attempt to assault the drone too! 😱
’Mo’ (the Adamo) has completed extremely well- she’s nonetheless trucking alongside taking care of me. I wasn’t certain how an automated would cope on these hills, however it’s been nice and really easy to drive. Going again to a guide may be a wrestle!
However let’s not take into consideration that but. Nonetheless two extra weeks of this journey to get pleasure from first 🙂
