    Brilliant. I have often wondered what it would be like to go from Denmark to Iceland on the ferry and then get back home to the UK in the same way that you have done. I seem to remember that many years ago the Denmark to Iceland ferry actually called at Lerwick on some "circuits" but perhaps that is just my imagination.
    I went to Iceland in 1986 on a week's holiday advertised as "A week in the countryside" through a long defunct outfit called "Twickenham Travel". Virtually the last flight out of Heathrow, arriving Keflavik early in the morning then a coach through the darkness to a modern basic hotel in the middle of nowhere so it seemed. I wondered what I had done until I drew the curtain back in the morning and saw the volcano, Hekla, gently steaming. We were taken out every day to swim in warm rivers, see glaciers and geysers and sit in fields at night to see the Northern Lights. I was 26 at the time and usually went for citybreak holidays but the Icelandic trip has never been surpassed.
    Perhaps it is an acquired taste? I don't know but the raw beauty is astonishing.

    I believe the road from Seydisfjordur to Egilsstadir is paved now so much less bumpy than when I worked in the region in the 1990s when it was basically a dirt track covered by ice a lot of the time. I remember arriving at Egilsstadir airport one evening to find that the road to Seydisfjordur was closed, blocked by snow. The bus took us up the road until it got stuck in the snow. Then we waited for a snowcat vehicle driven by the local mountain rescue team to arrive which took us over the summit through the snow drifts and down to the village. Quite an adventure!

    Happiness is sitting down with a coffee on a day off and seeing a wee midweek bonus video popping up from Steve. Especially when it’s of Iceland! 🇮🇸 my last visit was pre pandemic with my family and we stayed in an apartment near the Hallgrimskirkja. Watching you trying to keep awake at Keflavik reminded me of the time I had a layover there on the way back from Edmonton and dozed off in the departure lounge. I was so embarrassed when my name was called out on the tannoy and I nearly missed my flight back to Manchester.

    Many years ago I came back with a bus from the Northcape, and the ferry we had expected to be able to reach, when taking this bus, left the harbour when we came. It wasn't much fun till the next ferry arrived! Today the Norwegians have made a tunnel below the water to this top-island in Europe. Finn. Denmark

    I really enjoyed this Iceland series! You did a great job and the videos were all fun to watch. I couldn't believe you were staying up all night for your early morning flight instead of getting a hotel room, but when you showed us quotes for one night at an airport hotel, I quickly understood your decision. On a side note, as a New Yorker, I couldn't believe there was a Sbarro pizzeria at the Iceland bus terminal. As the comment section is meant to be nice, I'll edit out my thoughts on that. I hope you have recovered from the last leg of this journey and I am looking forward to the next video, the last from this Iceland trip.

    I’m getting awful flashbacks watching this. I made this mistake in Belgium. I ALMOST done it for Reykjavik but decided against it
    I decided to get the 11pm bus to airport for my 7.30am flight. Thinking I could go through security. Well noooo I was stuck the the most uncomfy loud airport ever. Until 4am when they decided to let people through the terminals.
    During my wait I paid the £35 so once I was through I could jump into the lounge, nap and get loads of free food. Tempted for a wee pint but I was far too sleep deprived.
