So totally hooked on your walking tours of Iceland. I ♥♥ them. Someday I will visit the country. After living on Hawaii Island for many years, there is something uniquely familiar to me in Iceland, crazy as that sounds. Maybe all that lava, maybe the gorgeous water...definitely no palm trees, though. I got a tattoo in Hawaii, and wouldn't you know he (Oli), is originally from Iceland. Will keep watching. Thank you so much!
Hi Donna. Takk fyrir. I have thought the same, after all they are both volcanically active islands. Thank you so much for the kind words. Ólafur tattoo, I bet he did a great job ☺️
Unusual weather for November, and no wind to speak of. I had no idea Keflavik had such well-kept seafront. Whenever we are in your country, we stop there on the way out to fill up the rental car and buy some Stori Dimun cheese for home. Thanks for showing the less known parts of your country.
You can't go wrong with Stóri Dímon. Thank you I try to visit more than the best known places, Keflavík surprised me as well, I hadn't really explored it well before.
Yes, I got back from Keflavik yesterday and the weather was appalling. The plane I was on had difficulty landing due to the strong winds and there were many flights cancelled earlier on the day I left, fortunately mine was not one of them! It was still a good experience for me and I would like to go back again next year.
Thank you so much for this video. I went in Iceland for the first time in 2013 when I was 9 years old. Since this year, I fell deeply in love with Iceland and Keflavik. The way you took was exactly like in my souvenirs and litteraly make me cry. So thank you very very much for keeping these precious memories in my head ❤ (sorry if my english is bad cause I'm french)
Awesome, as usual. The last time I was in Keflavik was 1969 and I don’t remember a thing! Except that the coast is still beautiful. One thing that I do remember is the racks of fish drying in the sun. Do they still have those?
Hello and thank you. Yes we still have those but very very few. I saw a few this summer way east near Borgarfjörður Eystri. We call these hjallar. Did you live here in 69?
Yes, I was at the radar station just a few miles from Keflavik for a year. I've been back twice, 2018 & '19. Anxious to come back again as soon as this COVID mess is over. We love Iceland!
Very nice, thank you so after 50+ years of being stationed at Keflavick NAS - 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron - USAF Avionics technician I get to see the town of Keflavick. 👌 I could see it from the flight line but in 66-67 their were many travel and curfew restrictions placed on us. Did make it to Reykavik a couple of times and a couple of day bus sight seeing trips inland Pingvelir, Vatnaskoll, Gull Foss etc. looks like you have many more videos for me to review.😉 There can be little doubt now why us Americans called it "The Rock" thanks again🗽🇺🇸
Hi Hal. Very interesting, did you continue working as a avionics technician after your service? Got any cool stories? I wonder if you ever heard about the dc3 that emergency landed in Sólheimasandur. I have a walking tour from that place. Thanks for commenting Hal.
IcelandHotSpots Hi, no after my USAF service terminated in 1970 went back to university for business degree then worked in corporate management Finance, accounting and information technology. Flew over Iceland several times on European business trips but never landed. Donot remember any of those multi story apartment buildings when I was their 66-67. Will view the rest of your videos. Wish I had gotten the chance to travel the country more but the last six months I was there Summer and fall, we were short staffed and I was the senior avionics man always on alert, on call. Cold War then the Russian bombers and submarines were always testing NATO air and waters. 🇺🇸🗽
Wow. Many changes since I was there. Looking for the bakery where I discovered Icelanders do not put much sugar in donuts, or anything else for that matter as sugar was extremely rare commodity. Malt bread was the best to be had anywhere.
OMG!!! Literally my favorite city on the planet!!! I fell in absolute love with Keflavik! I walked all over the town day and ´night´ and felt so comfortable and safe. The entire country is incredible, and everyone there was so lovely. But, Keflavk is one of those places that left a mark on my soul!
Nice video! I'm staying in Hafnagata (street) in the New Year. In fact you passed the place I'll be staying! Did you manage to get from there to the capital? I don't drive and was wondering about public transport.
@@IcelandHotSpots I found the bus stop in Hringbaut, near Nordurtin street and took the number 55 into Reykjavik, which came on time. I would have taken the bus when I arrived at the airport, but the weather was so bad I had to take a taxi to my accommodation instead. I would like to go back next year at a better time of the year.

@@IcelandHotSpots Yes, you are correct. Olafur Adalsteinsson is an amazing tattoo artist.
Wow! Brings back memories. Was stationed at Keflavik AB for a year in the early 80s. Nice tour. 👍
Thank you. Sallamaka al-lahu wa-nasaraka.

Iceland is the best country for tourist destinations 😁😁
Yes there is much to see
It is all so calm and quiet !! Is it always so ? Thank you very much for the beautiful walk . Have a nice day . Greetings from Greece .
It's more quiet because of the pandemic but also pretty typical for an Icelandic town in autumn.
Very nice video, like!!
Lovely Walking Tour! Great and Nice :) Enjoyed it! 👍👍
Awesome views!
Small towns look great in autumn!
The Giant's Lair is something special!
It sounds like my mother-in-law came to visit!

Did you live in Iceland for some time Thomas?
@@IcelandHotSpots Two years. ég var hermaður. þretíú og fimm ára eftir.
I imagine a lot has changed since then from your perspective. Cool to know ☺️

Yes this was actually my first visit there and it was surprisingly nice
Nice video! I'm staying in Hafnagata (street) in the New Year. In fact you passed the place I'll be staying! Did you manage to get from there to the capital? I don't drive and was wondering about public transport.
Yes it's just a 40 minute drive to the capital and there's a regular bus
@@IcelandHotSpots Oh that's good. Does the bus stop anywhere near Hafnagata or would I have to pick it up at the airport?
You should be able to take it from a bus stop in Keflavík
@@IcelandHotSpots Thanks

Triste y solitario.
Un poquito si.
Why are streets so empty?
♥
This country is looking so different from rest of the Europe . This country is looking more similar to Australia or NZ .
Yes in fact I believe they were thinking of shooting some scenes for lotr in Iceland.
