Great video! Did you really find that candy on the side of the road? 😅

How much was the van for 8 days? How cold was it in April?
Your video is great and I would really like to plan a ring road trip for next year with my adult children. I’ve been watching many videos and doing some research. Looks like camper van is the cheapest way to go. Until I can upon this video I thought the camper vans only fit 2 people.

Great, we also have the similar itinerary. How much time it took for you on day 2 ?, start from skogafoss, reinsfjara black sand beach, Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, and end at diamond beach ? We are planning to skip Dyrholaey…
