You guys are doing AMAZING job by filling, explaining and providing great details about your travels. I have learned a lot about your trip to Iceland. And I am planning on going there all prepare thanks to both of you. Your Instagram follower too. God bless
I am so exited! Your video have helped my family and I plan out activities on our trip to Iceland in 2 weeks! Thanks! Also, what was your favorite place that you saw?
Love your videos. What a fun way to get ideas to travel. I get Kara and Nate vibes. We just started moved to Europe ourselves and are sharing our journey with the TH-cam world! We are called the Pursue What Matters Family.
Thank you for your wonderful travel series touring Iceland. Very informative, and well presented. (yes I like the silliness). We drove the Ring road June 4-15 and had an amazing time. (As retirees, we did hotels instead of campers). I tell friends/family your series is the best representation of driving the ring road. Thanks again.
I have seen all of your videos of Iceland witch have inspired me to book a flight to Reykjavik Iceland in the end of July and boy am I looking forward for my stay there!
I have loved your videos and learned so much, thank you! We are traveling to Iceland from TX in August. Do you have any recommendations on electric adapters or converter you used? My 1st time having to buy something like this.
Iceland uses the standard European plug, so you would definitely want to pick up a converter for that. We travel with a small power strip that has a surge protecter, that cuts down on shorting out USA electronics if it is a different voltage. Beware of Hair Straighteners, hair dryers, steamers, and electric razors brought from home, we have shorted those out in the past!
Stuck on if I should stay in Reykjavik one more weekend day or leave Saturday. I'm traveling with friends but then staying there a lil longer to be on my own. I do like nightlife a little so I'm curious to see what the town has to offer. Obviously I'd spend a little more staying one more day. Just wonder if it's worth it
Hello and thank you for the video. I have a question ( if you don’t mind). On your way back to the US was a COVID test required in a printed format, or electronically? Thank you
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
This gives me a heads up on what to expect for MY trip to Iceland in September... I’m going solo, flying from Los Angeles stopping in New York and then on to Iceland.. I signed up for the tours and I’m looking forward to seeing that Volcano.. Thanks for sharing guys!!👍🏾😊
Hopefully your tests came back in time and with good results. I heard on a Iceland news podcast recently that some fully vaccinated tourists tested positive for the Covid Delta Variant ... on their exit test. yikes. Thanks for the great videos.
I've been wanting to go to Iceland for a while. I'm glad that I happened across your channel. You showed some really cool places. I've heard about the northern lights since I was a child. I think it would be so amazing to see them in person. And I've tried to figure out if the hot springs in Iceland are similar to the dead sea? Meaning they both have the same benefits and you float in them? I may need to do more research. But I hope you enjoyed your trip. It looks like such an amazingly beautiful country.
I think the reason you can float in the dead sea is because of the high salt levels, the blue lagoon is salt water, but a lot of the other ones (that we went to) are fresh water so probably not as easy to float. If you want to see the northern lights be sure you go in Fall, winter or early spring. In the summer it is light almost all night long, so even if the lights were out, you wouldn't see them
@@TheAwkwardTourists thank you so much for responding and answering my questions. I appreciate it. Iceland is definitely one of the places I plan on traveling to.
@@TheAwkwardTourists Yep to me one of Europe´s 10 best Indian restaurants. Harrison Ford used to dine there when ever he had a stop over on his trips to or from Europe ;)
It was a little tricky downtown, expect to pay for parking in the main areas of the city, but we found a spot that wasn't too far away from our hotel and everything is pretty close so you can walk a lot of places
Not this time. They aren't visible in the summer in Iceland because it stays light very late. We are told that the prime months for the Northern lights are October- March
In 2004, Bill Clinton visited Iceland. As he was walking past Bæjarins Beztu and the person that was selling the hot dogs called his name and offered him to try a hot dog. Bill was on a diet. Therefore he got a hot dog only with mustard. Since then, a hot dog with mustard has been called a Clinton.
I take it you're not much for going clubbing, but that's ok. For a comprehensive visit to Reykjavík you'd have to spend at least as long as you did circling the country. I remember those hot dogs from 45 years ago. Regardless of what you put on them, it's the hot dog/sausage itself that makes all the difference. Where else can you find lamb in your hot dog ? Answer : NOWHERE ! Icelanders are very artistic. It can be seen in their goldsmithing and silversmithing. All their wool products from Icelandic sheep. Their furniture making, etc. They are very musical and it almost seems that half the country performs and the other half is the audience. They are great fishermen and great soccer players. They have won the " Strongest Man in the World " more often than any other country, the latest being Hafþór Björnsson from Game of Thrones. Nightlife in Reykjavík is and was always INSANE ! You'd have to stick around a lot longer to find all this out. As an aside, if you two ever decide to have children, they will be full of chin-dimples, cheek-dimples and be as beautiful as you ! Good luck as you continue your escapades. Bless, WRG. from Jacksonville, FL.
Not too much clubbing for us these days. A 7pm Happy hour is more our style. We have heard that the nightlife in Reykjavik is really good though, especially for live musiv
And sorry to be honest no Icelandic person is going to be there this early for clubbing 😂 now because of Covid it’s a bit different but before that you weren’t going to meet a Icelandic person downtown before midnight the earliest. It’s more likely that group of friends meet up and throw a before party, then you head downtown for the clubs wen they close it’s all about the after party. So if you go clubbing like a local don’t expect to be home until about the next day and that’s doesn’t have anything to do with going home with someone else. just we like to party wen we start it’s going to be a really good party
0:06 I thought she said “we are in boring Reykjavík” and as an Icelander I was like “yup …..boring”………because it is really …for me …..everything is expensive so I never get to do anything fun 🙃

Thanks so much! We are glad you found some value in the videos
5 days and counting!
I was there a few weeks ago! Looks like you had perfect weather. It rained but I didn't care. Such a gorgeous country!
We had a bit of rain and snow on our trip, but overall we got really lucky with the weather!
The dude abides. Too funny! Man, as if we didn't want to visit Iceland enough already!
The Lebowski Bar is a must!
You guys are making us want to go back to Iceland ASAP. We can’t wait to vlog there on our next trip!
We already want to go back too!
I am so exited! Your video have helped my family and I plan out activities on our trip to Iceland in 2 weeks! Thanks! Also, what was your favorite place that you saw?
Glad you found the videos useful in planning your trip! The Volcano was a definite highlight, but we saw so much it's hard to pick a favorite
Another great video. Love both of your expressions as you produce these videos.
Thanks so much!
Lebowski Bar and the famous wheel of fortune! Great vid guys. Great to watch before our trip there for new year just been :)
Have fun! Iceland is a really awesome place!

Thanks so much. Vlogging is a lot of fun, and a great memory to look back on

(As retirees, we did hotels instead of campers). I tell friends/family your series is the best representation of driving the ring road. Thanks again.
The campervan life is tough, especially with the cold of Iceland. We ended up staying in hotels quite a few nights on the ring road also.

Where is that hot dog exactly ? What street? Downtown?
Tryggvagata 1, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland. That is the address I found on google maps
Looking forward to my stay in August!
You'll have an awesome time!

I do like nightlife a little so I'm curious to see what the town has to offer. Obviously I'd spend a little more staying one more day. Just wonder if it's worth it
Reykjavik is definitely cool, and I hear the nightlife is really good. We wished we had more time there
Hello and thank you for the video. I have a question ( if you don’t mind). On your way back to the US was a COVID test required in a printed format, or electronically? Thank you
We both had electronic results and we were fine
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Iceland is really cool. If you can, you should definitely go
Thank you so much for your video! We will be going in October and spending the last 3 days in Reykjavik. This is super helpful.
Thanks for watching! You'll have an awesome trip!
Will be there on July 10th for a long weekend. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching!

Have fun! Hit us up in you have any questions!
@@TheAwkwardTourists Thank you. Are you guys on Instagram?
Going there next month. Is one day enough for Reykjavik? Thanks
It depends on how much you want to see, You could hit some highlights in one day, but I would recommend more if your really want to see the city
Hopefully your tests came back in time and with good results. I heard on a Iceland news podcast recently that some fully vaccinated tourists tested positive for the Covid Delta Variant ... on their exit test. yikes. Thanks for the great videos.
We actually had some issues with our results coming back in time... more on that in the next video
Can you count how many waterfalls you've glimpsed in Iceland?
Oh man, I bet we at least caught a glimpse of a few hundred. They say that there are around 10,000 on the island
I've been wanting to go to Iceland for a while. I'm glad that I happened across your channel. You showed some really cool places. I've heard about the northern lights since I was a child.

Just booked a room in Iceland through booking credits good prices thank you
Awesome! Gotta love the credit back
Going to Iceland to film loads of videos on Monday- this is REALLY helpful!
Awesome! Hope you have a great time
Austur-Indíafjelagið = East-Indian Company ;)
It was sooo good
@@TheAwkwardTourists Yep to me one of Europe´s 10 best Indian restaurants. Harrison Ford used to dine there when ever he had a stop over on his trips to or from Europe ;)
I'll be there in August for pride
I would bet that they really do it up for Pride. We saw so many rainbows
Sadly the pride was not held this year in normal fasion. Bloody Covid. But the normal pride year has about 80-100k People for the parade.
Great video guys! How is (public) parking in Reykjavik?
It was a little tricky downtown, expect to pay for parking in the main areas of the city, but we found a spot that wasn't too far away from our hotel and everything is pretty close so you can walk a lot of places
Were you able to see the Northern Lights on your trip?
Not this time. They aren't visible in the summer in Iceland because it stays light very late. We are told that the prime months for the Northern lights are October- March
May I ask one question? Is it cold? I’m there tomorrow.
We returned about a week ago and it was indeed chilly! But nothing too bad. Be prepared for rain!
Heading there in 8 days!
Nice! You will have an awesome time!
The intro groove. Who is that?

That's a cool story! I want to go back and order a clinton now...
Very nice video 👍
Thank you very much!
Is the museum free?
No, There was a small fee, I can't remember how much it was off the top of my head though

Iceland 🇮🇸 lifted the COVID-19 restriction July 1, 2021
We heard that! Awesome!
А через забор перелезть не судьба?
God it seems so desolate and unmodern. I can't even imagine how life was there before technology.
Ну на рыбалку плавали та и лопали чё поймают!
