      Really enjoyed, brings back memories of my Iceland trip. So, imagine you’re driving the Ring road in one of those RV’s. Remember how narrow the roads were, mostly without a shoulder and you’re thinking, man,if I go off the road its going to be quite the ride.... Driving down the road at about 80 km/h and BOOM! Crap, I got a flat..? And just so happen to be coasting up to a pull off. Good. Get out and take a look. I’m missing a WHEEL! Gulp. That was a closer call than I thought. Call the RV place and they dispatch a mechanic and we get to meet the only man in Iceland that doesn’t speak english. Cobbles together a repair (we found the wheel in a field behind us) but we spend the night in a hotel parking lot waiting for the new RV to be brought to us. Have the best meal ever in the attached restaurant. Had smoked salmon starter that the owner smoked in the yard behind his house and the most ridiculously good hamburger I can remember. Carry on.

    My grandfather owns with his brothers the land that the super blue waterfall is on (and the waterfall) and your videos make me miss them a lot. As this waterfall has gained a lot of attention in the last few years I get a very strange feeling watching all these TH-camrs walking in "my" backyard. Anyway, love your videos as always man

  • @photographybychristinamariecpp

    12:47 - I keep coming back to this video to find my favorite part, because it is my FAVORITE photography video. No one seems to know where they're going or what they're doing, but the little "just do it" motion from the guy in the blue before you head in is amazing.

  • @theundefinedphotographer
    @theundefinedphotographer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Never a dull moment in your videos. Dark humor and a travel vlog all rolled into one? Yes, please. Also, loved how you did the ring twice. As someone who's never been to Iceland, it really helped perspectivize your itinerary and commit those places to memory as a viewer.
