I'm glad you like it. Thank you 😀

I'm glad you like it. Thank you 😀

Thanks for that. The plan is to go around the country as much as possible, but unfortunately only June-August is the time when it makes sense to travel far in Iceland, so you'll never know if I won't end up in Egilsstaðir next year 😎 I will post some videos here as soon as possible, that I took this summer, e.g. from Akranes, Húsavík, Mývatn and Selfoss etc.

Thanks for that! I'm glad you like it 😀

Have fun. The weather has not been at its best; cold and raining. Hopefully it will be better next week 😀

No; it's only free to ride on Akureyri's buses. Akureyri's buses only travel inside Akureyri.

I'm glad you like it 😀

There is very little beer or alcohol sales at outdoor festivals in Iceland; especially where there are many children. Sometimes there are beer stands in the city center on good occasions when the weather is good. Unfortunately, the summer of 2024 has completely passed us by. It has been cold and cloudy with rain ☔

In 1973, just over 200,000 people lived in Iceland. Since then, there has been enormous population growth; mostly because of immigration. For instance: around 70,000 Poles now live in Iceland and thousands from other countries. This calls for endless new buildings and larger infrastructure. On top of everything, close to two million tourists travel around the country every year. So it is not surprising that everything has changed since 1973. Unfortunately, we are not doing well with the development and expansion of society. The street system, the health system and the housing system are burst. The city center has changed a lot although it's outline is more or less the same. A lot of old houses from nearby neighborhoods have been moved around the streets of the city center and have changed a lot, and although this is a lot of old houses, the street scene does not look the same anymore. 1973, just about 10,000 people lived in Kópavogur, but today there are over 40,000 people living there. The population of Akureyri has doubled since 1973 from 10,000 people to 20,000 people. The number of people in Grímsey, on the other hand, has decreased and there are now just about 60 people living there, compared to just over 80 living there in 1973. You have come here at the right time to experience the only true Iceland. I'm not sure you'd like the tourism here today.

@@mybike-ini Thank you for sharing the updated current information. I really loved Iceland and every person I met in my two trips in 1973 and 1974. In 1974 I returned to experience the 1100 year celebration of the settlement of Iceland. I also went to Westmanneyar for their 100th year celebration of the same. They held that celebration because for the 1000th festivities, the weather was too bad to enable the islanders to travel to the mainland, so they just held their own! In 1974 the festivities in Westmanneyar were very fun with rock bands playing much of the night at various locations in the hills outside of the towns. When I went to Grimsey, I camped on the island and do not recall any people living there, though there was a house/hut that I was told by the plane pilot was there in case any fishermen got caught there in a storm. Apparently there were people living there and I have no reason to doubt you, though I can't see how I could've missed the multiple houses required to hold them. I recall th weather was warm and sunny and I was in shorts and sneakers and no shirt. The weather in Akureyri was very warm as well and my friend Arni Steinar Johansoon was at that time a young student working for th summer planting flowers up along t the walkway/stairs going up to the church on the hill. From the videos i've seen and the discussions I hear, many (too many in my opinion) descend on Iceland as tourists. Camping in the Westmann Islands, I had a young fella whom I'd met at the main ceremonies at Thingvellir, crawl into my tent with two of his friends during a fierce blowing rainstorm. He recognized my tent from before since it was a unique caternary cut design. His name Jon Hartmannsson. His father was a policeman in Akureyri who purportedly held British fishermen at bay when they docked and came ashore raucously during the Cod Wars. He had used his young sons toy pistol to force them back onto their boat.

Thank you for this! Nice to hear your story. You were Vestmannaeyjar the year after the volcanic eruption in the island. Then 70 houses went under the lava and the world made fun of the people in the island when they tried to stop the lava flow in the middle of town by the harbour with powerful fire pumps from the US the military base in Keflavik. But it worked really well They stopped the lava and it piled up and they saved the freezer house and the fish processing houses. But here is a link to some information about Grímsey: port.is/grimsey/

@@mybike-ini Thank you for the link about Grimsey. When I went there, the little plane landed on grass as well as when it returned two days later. I guess it was a tourist / adventurer thing. I swear walking much of the island I only saw that single house, but I also am pretty sure I didn't go near it because I've always been very careful about NOT trespassing on others' property. Plus, I was much more interested in watching and photographing the Lundi (puffins) and the various other sea birds nesting on the steep cliffs. I was also constantly getting dive-bombed by Arctic terns. I also recall the volcanic ash in Vestmanneyar covering many houses and the big U.S. water pumps cooling the advancing hot lava to a stop. Currently I'm following the eruptions outside of Grindavik and am very happy to see that the berms/defensive walls are working thusfar.

Thanks! 😊 The temperature was 11°C which is quite high at this day of the year.

Thanks! Well; that's the plan. I hope I can this summer 😎

😀 Thanks; I will. 👍

Good to hear. Thanks 😀

Hi. Thank you for this. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to make a videos, but it's all in the works 😀

Thanks! 👍 Unfortunately, this winter has not been kind to tourists. Lots of snow and really 🥶cold weather. A lot of tourists are not aware of the dangers that exist in this country. For example, if there is a storm, it can last for days. It can be sunny 🌞and calm one hour and the next a very dangerous 🌪storm. It can also be good weather in Reykjavik, but crazy weather and impassable 10 kilometers outside the city in all directions ☃ Icelanders are not much for putting up warning signs at tourist spots, but if they are there, people should follow them because they are usually put up where there have been accident 🤕

Já og handabendingarnar sem ég fékk voru: Báðar hendur upp, yppti öxlum og horfði á mig með fýlusvip eins og ég væri bara að þvælast fyrir honum. Ég bara sýndi ekki myndirnar af því.

For the last 7-8 years, the City and the surrounding municipalities have made an effort to prepare bike paths around and inside the city and in the surrounding towns. They have done extremely good job of separating pedestrians and cyclists. Really nice bike paths all over and more is expected. Some streets have been narrowed for cycle paths. Some of the car-people are not happy with this development ☺

Gracias; Saludos para ti 😀

Thanks 😀
