Traveling to Iceland in winter is sort of special: days are shorter, light is different, some roads are closed ... but on the other hand it can be very rewarding: you get to see northern lights, snowy landscape, ice caves ... The letter was the reason for us to travel to Iceland in February.
We spent 8 days in Iceland, rented a car for the whole time and did about 2000km (more about winter driving in Iceland). To save some money we cooked our own food, slept in hostels and in general tried not to spend a fortune there - which is nearly impossible in Iceland :)
Below you can read our day-by-day travel plan with kilometers driven and
euros spent (all prices are in euros, for rough estimation 1€ = 121 ISK
- Icelandic krona)

Day 1, 8.2.2017:
Early morning departure from our home in Ljubljana, Slovenia to Budapest. We parked our car at Union Parkolo parking close to the airport and at around 3pm our WizzAir flight took off towards Reykjavik. In the evening we landed in Iceland, picked up our pre-booked rental car and drove to scout's center in Reykjavik, where we met with local scouts. Spent the evening eating Icelandic ice-cream and getting to know fun facts about Iceland.
Distance: 490km from Ljubljana to Budapest Airport and 70km from Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik
Accommodation: scout's center Reykjavik, 4,5€ per person per night
Day 4, 11.2.2017:
Accommodation: scout's center Reykjavik
Day 5, 12.2.2017:
It was time to leave Reykjavik. First we visited geothermal power plant Hellisheidi and then continued our drive towards Gjan waterfall. Unfortunately the road was closed, so we didn't reach it. Anyways, we went further along the coast to Seljalandsfoss waterfall and went bathing in an open-air swimming pool with geothermal water Seljavallalaug. Later in the day we stopped at Skogafoss waterfall as well and then drove to Vik, where our hostel for the night was.
Distance: 310km
Accommodation: HI hostel Vik, 34,1€ per person for a bed in a dormitory (6pax)
Day 6, 13.2.2017:
Driving the south Iceland coast we witnessed one of the more spectacular sunrises, ever. Our destination of the day was Skaftafell National Park, where we went to the glacier and then up to Svartifoss waterfall and further to Sjonarnipa viewing platform for best views of the glacier below. In the evening we drove to Vagnasstadir hostel a bit further along the Ring road.
Distance: 220km
Accommodation: HI hostel Vagnasstadir, 26,6€ per person for a bed in a dormitory (6pax)
Day 7, 14.2.2017:
We booked a tour for ice caves for this day long ago. Unfortunately the tour was canceled due to safety reasons (read here, what happened: Worst Valentine's day, ever). So we had more time for Jokulsarlon lagoon and then later in the evening for amazing Black Sand Beach Reynisjara near Vik.
Distance: 240km
Accommodation: HI hostel Vik, 84,2€ for double room
Day 8, 15.2.2017:
Last day of our trip we used to see the Black Sand Beach from another perspective: from arch Dyrholaey. The rest of the day we spent exploring nice and peaceful Reykjanes peninsula: we visited Strandakirkja, geothermal area of Seltun and famous Blue Lagoon. From there we drove back to the airport for our evening flight to Budapest.
Distance: 330km
Accommodation: on the airplane

I am sure a lot of us are still unaware of the recent development of the Blank ATM card.. An ATM card that can change your financial status within few days. With this Blank ATM card, you can withdraw between $5,000-$50,000 daily from any ATM machine in the world. There is no risk of getting caught by any form of security if you followed the instructions properly. The Blank ATM card is also sophisticated due to the fact that the card has its own security making your transaction very safe and untraceable.

I being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy called RICK HACKER WORLD , he is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for random money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying it was not fake. One week later i received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to 5,000 Euro. This was unbelievable. So far i order a ATM Card of $ 100,000 Euro without any stress of being caught. I don't know why i am posting this here, i just felt this might help those of us in need of financial stability. blank ATM has really change my life.

ReplyDeleteIceland photography guide
In summer, there is midnight sunshine and the weather gets a little hotter! But July and August are the best seasons if you want to hike. Usually, February, March, September and October are best for the Northern Lights. I visited Iceland with the help of Discover Iceland Tours this summer and it was a wonderful trip for me.

ReplyDeleteRecovering lost Bitcoin can require unique hacking skills and expertise that are possessed by only a handful of professional hackers. While there are many recovery websites out there, it’s important to be cautious as 99% of them are operated by scammers who try to appear legitimate. Instead, it’s best to seek out a trusted hacker like Recovery Masters who can help you recover your funds. They were able to recover $355k worth of BTC that I had lost to bitcoin mining. To get in touch with Recovery Masters, you can contact them via email ( Recoverymasters@email.cz ) or whatsapp +1(551) 202-23-35

ReplyDeleteLack of good information is very bad, I'll like to share my experience about crypto theft here and how I got my money recovered. One faithful evening I was going through the internet and I saw a lot of ads about this investment website. I tried to give them a try to gain financial freedom after giving me their contract agreement and all. Along the line they kept their promise until I made a huge deposit to get massive profit. I discovered the website crashed and their support team is not responding to their mails. I was devastated and came on this forum then I found reviews about (Recoverymasters@email.cz) I gave this fund recovery hackers a try because I never imagined crypto could be retrieved and they did get my lost funds back completely. I urge you to write to them for help on their email or WhatsApp +1(551) 202-23-35 them.
