It was fun that you happened to see the high school students that are about to graduate. They dress up in all kinds of costumes for one day and do fun stuff around town. When I graduated 25 years ago we dressed up in very uncomfortable Donald Duck costumes :) Greetings from Akureyri, north Iceland. I'm sure you will get there in a future video.

There’s very few trees in Iceland. Makes the landscape look so vast and the sky so big similar to parts of Wyoming.

Excellent video with a professional production feel/flow. Dennis, you should've woken up Liz to see the aurora borealis. As a child, Thelma from Scooby Doo annoyed me because she'd always lose her glasses while the team was in pursuit of some villain.

Haha yes we did! It's a night high schoolers go out to party before exams. They all dress up in themes and go all out. Another fun fact is that Icelanders go to high school until they are 20!

It was nice meeting you guys at the Sky Lagoon. Hope your trip was amazing! I still need to edit my videos from my trip. So those kids in costume were celebrating their last day of high school. We met some of them who were getting happy hour drinks.

We loved Iceland. The hostels we stayed in in Reykjavik were amazing. We also did the whole Ring Road. One thing I found relatively inexpensive in Iceland was coffee, I bought a latte nearly every day at the gas stations. Bonus was our go to while we were there.

We shower at campgrounds or lagoons when we go (so many more lagoons to visit 😜). Most destinations have toilets on site and there's stops along the road as well. Gas stations or grocery stores too!

@realpaddy5270 2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking about your comment about how expensive your first meal in Iceland was. You had three entrees plus coffee. At a trendy restaurant in New York, Toronto, LA, it would actually cost more (in USD) than what you paid in Iceland. Especially now, the price of restaurant meals has gone up substantially. It is shocking. But, if you are going to eat out, you will have to live with it just as you have to live with the new higher price of gas.

@EatSeeRV 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Paddy, yes I know other cities are more expensive. But that cost was for 2 breakfast toasts and 2 coffees. Not Dennis's extra plate haha. So it's still quite steep. Rising costs are a reality, but for most cities (aside from LA, NYC, and maybe a few others) this is expensive and helpful to know for others planning a trip here. - Liz

I don't think any two places can exactly offer the same things. As you'll see in this video we experience a lot more than that alone, but yes it's expensive! Haha
