Very good video ❤ I will see the pdf too and revert 😊

Great video as always. Heading to Iceland as a stopover for a few days in December. I planned option A and B pending on the weather. We are used to driving in winter weather so not too concerned but will still be smart and watching forecast. My bucket list is to do the warmer weather option with camper and go around entire country. Take care -

if you are doing a road trip definitely get gas whenever you see a station is a good tip. My wife and I had to drive back to Vik because going back was the closest gas station on our trip she wasn’t happy

Very nice video, as always. My husband and I watched and he said: ah, the tall guy. He remembers how you tried to get into Buddah’s nose in Nara. Ha ha. Question: in your research, do you know where to watch whales, either Iceland or Norway?
