      Unfortunately you also can’t decide so much on the adds no more. I of course want to leave some of the adds with my videos to at least cover a little bit of the costs that I have when traveling and compensate for the time I put into the videos - but since I am back there is no option no more to choose which kind of adds to have (I always only had skipable ones because I really think it’s bareable to watch a few seconds and give me a small income with that). Now they can just put whatever they like as soon as you agree on advertisement on the videos. 😑😑😑

    Good evening Lea,
    Iceland is so beautiful. Great (drone) footage.
    I love the quietness of such places like Flatey. But not for too long😅.
    I remember from Norway that you could have all types of weather in one day or a few days. You just had to be prepared with the right clothing in your backpack. We had snow in the middle of summer and a few days later it was sunny with 28°C.

    This spring, I rode down the Appalachian Mountains and went out to the ocean. Your videos were a great guide for that trip!
    Although, I didn't enjoy the Outerbanks as much as you did. In my UA-cam video, I went on a rant about why I didn't like it but included a link to your video for people to get a happier description.
    Anyhow, congrats on your baby and welcome to a new way of life. There is nothing better than being a parent!
    Go forth with an open mind and, most importantly, an open heart and remember that self-care is not selfish!

    First of all… what a gorgeous place. I’ve seen other Iceland motorcycle videos and they are always dick-swinging competitions to see who can ride the fastest before someone breaks a leg or collarbone. Hard. Pass. No thank you.
    This IS the way Iceland should be seen. Much appreciated. Much respect, Lea. Well done. The homes on Flatey remind me of the Maritimes on the eastern coast of Canada. It oozes of natural beauty.
    Okay, I’ve got my crack investigative crew working on little A’s name - my thirteen-year-old daughter. 😂 Her first comment was, “This is a little creepy, a little stalkerish.” I replied, “But it’s for a signed copy of Lea’s book!” While rolling her eyes, she then said, “Oh, okay. That makes it okay then.” 😂
    Teen daughters. Sheesh. 😂 She’s probably not wrong. 😂
    This is what we have so far. Your partner has at least one large ear (as per the two-up ride to retrieve your bikes, he dislikes churches and site-seeing (typical man 😂), he can’t bend down to attach a ratchet strap to secure the bikes on the ferry (probably due to knee and hip injuries from years of Olympic ski jump training and crashing), so he has his pregnant partner do so, and English is not his first language as per his pronunciation of “Com-PLI-ca-ted”, and the delicious drink that looked like it had rhubarb chunks in it. Yummy.
    Still working on your partner’s ethnic background. I’m sticking with Eastern European but I heard a little South African in his voice. LOL.
    My wife and daughter say to start with Adam. I think they are wrong, but if they aren’t, I’ll never hear the end of it. Alex or Alec, is another. Alexander is another strong name. I’ll throw in Andy since your partner is probably a huge Bee Gees & Andy Gibb fanatic.
    BTW, if I somehow do miraculously guess little A’s name, don’t tell me that I’ve done so until the end of the series. Stalkerish, yes. 😂 But we do respect your, your partner’s, and little A’s privacy.
    This is for fun. And a book. High stakes.
    Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦

    • @Got2Go
      @Got2Go  5 місяців тому +1

      😂😂😂 this is getting really fun, I love that the chief investigator on the case is now your daughter. 😂😂😂 and because I gave you the permission to guess I think it is not quite as stalkerish as it might seem . 😂
      So with one point you are very wrong: the travel partner can bend down and knee down - but he is mechanically such a failure, that he doesn’t get how to put the belt into the ratchet and how to tighten it - so in the end it’s on me to do both to protect his bike from falling.
      It’s non of the name above. And a hint about the ethnicity: you were already a bit closer to his homeland in some of the other comments you made…
      See you at the next episode when it’s time to: Guess little As name! 😂😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      Excellent. I shall inform my daughter.
      Your travel partner is definitely not German. I could be mistaken, but like Canadian children learn how to play hockey in the womb, German children are born with a full understanding of all things engineering. In fact, my GS was designed and constructed by Mrs. Shultz’s kindergarten class. It was a homework project. And my GS runs like a charm too. 🤣 We also considered Switzerland (with this new ‘failure’ information, we no longer do) because the Swiss are renowned for fine watch making. Yes, another stereotype. 🤣
      I think I’ll bring my son in on this investigation too. I bought him a Honda Grom to learn how to ride. Maybe he and I can tour Iceland on mini motos someday. 😉
      Anyway, back to the investigation. Thanks Lea. Until next week…
