    Iceland is one of my favorite countries. It is incredibly beautiful, extremely gracious people, and the entire country is as clean as can be. However,it ~is~ expensive. I strongly recommend going to the interior of the island, which requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle.

    At the glacier lake, book a kayak tour instead, so peaceful.

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can because they are all around the main ring road. But days will be extremely short (as little as 5 hours of day and 19 hours of night in December), which means a lot of driving at night and very little time to see all these sights.

      Haha, you're not going to believe this, but our channel is exclusively filmed with our iPhones (aside from the drone shots and underwater GoPro shots). Handy and easier to carry. The picture quality is not as good as with a camera, but good enough for what we do :).

      What is your budget? Unfortunately, hotels in Iceland are expensive and the luxury and service quality don't always match the high price.

    Really, James and Laurent? You couldn't learn how to pronounce five Icelandic names? What is the point of your video if you create a barrier between what is, and what you as a foreigner would like for things to be? Your video is the opposite of immersion. 'Don't mix, don't mingle, don't learn to pronounce'. I wonder if you learned "hello" and "thank you" in Icelandic. If you maintain a barrier, your viewers will feel the barrier.
