Complete reports of our trip to Iceland / 2022-06-19

Recently I realized I am quite enjoy stories and videos of travel. As we had our own travel adventure a month ago I decided to write about it extensively as the memory was still fresh and I wanted to mentally relive that trip and get some experience in writing about my travels.

With some help of the pictures, the list of hotel reservations and checking the maps there is now a complete set of stories of this holiday. I backdated the stories to the days they happened which was for me the logical choice.

The reports per day:

• Trip to Iceland day 1
• Trip to Iceland day 2
• Trip to Iceland day 3
• Trip to Iceland day 4
• Trip to Iceland day 5
• Trip to Iceland day 6
• Trip to Iceland day 7
• Trip to Iceland day 8
• Trip to Iceland day 9
• Trip to Iceland day 10
• Trip to Iceland day 11
• Trip to Iceland day 12
• Trip to Iceland day 13
• Trip to Iceland day 14
• Trip to Iceland day 15

In general this was a really good vacation. Iceland has the kind of raw nature and geology I enjoy visiting. The people are really friendly and helpful. Compared to our earlier visits it is clear Iceland is more prepared for visiting tourists without turning into a tourist trap.

Iceland has turned even more cashless than in earlier visits. With a credit card and a debit card you can pay almost everything, even contactless international payments work. We saw a problem with paying with Android pay after a few days so we stopped doing that.

Mobile phone and mobile data coverage is near-perfect along the roads. It's probably a good idea to not rely on mobile phone when you go on inland hiking trails but as long as you are sticking to paved and gravel roads there is lots of coverage.

The first pictures have been integrated, for some days I need to copy more pictures from the camera to flickr to add these to the collection.
