    TOTALLY AGREE... pond hockey makes the player! Skating and learning to control the puck on uneven ice surfaces... THE BEST!
    Share a few memories...
    1. Shoveling off the snow ❄ each morning to form the rink.
    2. Home made goal nets (we even used tree branches!) 😂
    3. Playing until your hands froze.
    4. Finding a puck that was hit into one of the snow banks.
    5. Fixing broken sticks with nails, duck and electrical tape! 😱
    Our sticks still hang from the attic rafters at the lake house... tributes to a great game and a great time in our lives!

    Great video but you need to work a bit on your Icelandic. Did a good job with Skógafoss :)
    Glad to see you survived the most dangerous tourist spot in Iceland, The Black Sand Beach. The waves sadly did take yet another life just a month after you were there. Never turn your back on the waves!
    I will watch the rest of your videos, I predict you will drive through my hometown in a future episode.
    Greetings from Iceland.

    A great country to get ticked off the list and a good time of year to go! I was thinking that if you went when it was warm enough, vanlifing it would be the very best way to go, allowing you to cover the entire island without worrying about finding accommodations along the way. Thanks for sharing!

    Things have changed since I was there!!! There were no stairs to go in back of Seljalandsfoss. Just a path with a rope to grab on to!!! There was also no barrier at all at Gullfoss. You could easily just walk off the edge!!

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  2 роки тому

      Dang that’s crazy! The railings looked new because you could see the walking paths of previous travelers behind the rail. I can’t imagine what Iceland was like before Instagram! Probably so untouched

      Yeah, we’re excited about our upcoming trips. We did end up selling our van. Actually got over asking and sold in 2 days to a couple of Apple Engineers in Silicon Valley. We built it to do some traveling while locked down. Had a blast with it but would like to do more international travel and didn’t want the van to sit being around.

    Allergies? My wife and I wondered if the allergens would be pretty low there. Not so much the case? Would love a little feedback on that since we're planning to go there sometime soon.

      They were bad at first, but once she took allergy medicine (we had to get it from the local pharmacy) she was good the remainder of the trip. She took the allergy medicine for the first few days and then stopped.

    Thanks for providing another great Tuesday evening's entertainment... 👍
    Perhaps UA-cam.com should get you two under contract one day... let's say 5 years for 2.5 million 💰 ? 🤔
    Iceland looks amazing!
    Was there much of a language barrier?
    How difficult was it to obtain provisions and fuel for the van?
    Noticed the "Old El Paso" for dinner one evening... NICE!
    Not of fan of Wine? OMG... missing out on one of life's great pairings!!! 🤣
    1. Dry red wine 🍷and good cigar!
    2. Coffee ☕and doughnuts 🍩!
    3. Tequila and Corona!
    Great vlog... Later
    BTW... you ask about the location of the family lake house... I grew up in Mountaintop, PA about 15 minutes west of the JFBB ski resorts...

      Iceland was amazing I want to go back. I do drink wine but I rather go to a brewery than a winery without a doubt!
      Sorry about that UA-cam app doesn’t give me notifications on replied comments so easy to miss. That sounds awesome though, I played hockey through college! Pond hockey is the best right?
