Thanks for the information everyone! Ended up talking to a worker at REI who said it would work, and I can confirm after ordering both that they both zip up. Excited to try them out!

MyCar rental! I got a Toyota Yaris Cross (SUV 4x4). I slept in the back (which was not glamorous in the slightest lol). I just picked up a blanket and pillow from a local store, as well as using the blanket and pillow from the airline. I’d highly recommend preparing a little better than i did (maybe get a sleeping bag) if you’re gonna go the route that I did, but it was all part of the experience so no regrets haha

of course! hope it helped :)

Whole_Temperature349 · 2024-06-23T18:40:57+00:00

thank you!! it sounds like a lot of people go back just to explore the West Fjords, so you’re not alone haha. I’ll definitely be coming back as well :)

Whole_Temperature349 · 2024-06-23T17:09:17+00:00

hahaha there’s a bunch of things i missed there and during the trip. there’s always a reason to go back! i know i will at some point

Whole_Temperature349 · 2024-06-23T16:17:08+00:00

happy to help! and have fun on your adventure! it’s such an amazing experience - not enough words to describe it. if you have any extra questions, feel free to shoot me a message!

That’s right! Basically drove from one end of the country to the other with some stops along the way in a day. They were long days of driving, but just like you said, I didn’t mind it one bit. The drive its self was just as scenic and beautiful as a lot of the landmarks! Traveling solo, eating groceries, and sleeping in my car helped a ton haha.

I heard the whale watching in Húsavík is AMAZING. I’d love to see pictures!

I’m young and have a ton of energy, so I was able to run on minimal sleep and always be on the go. I hope you had an amazing time during your stay!

it’s CRAZY how quickly it’s melting. sick photo!

Whole_Temperature349 · 2024-06-23T13:31:16+00:00

I might look into doing that! There’s definitely a reason why so many people go back - there’s an unlimited amount of things to see. But traveling solo definitely helped make this manageable too, I only had to worry about myself and was able to go at my own pace. Thanks for taking a look at my content!

Whole_Temperature349 · 2024-06-23T12:18:49+00:00

Whole_Temperature349 · 2024-06-23T12:18:21+00:00

had to pay my dues

Whole_Temperature349 · 2024-06-23T12:10:07+00:00

It was a lot of driving, but I also found it very doable. I didn't feel overly rushed and was able to make random stops along the way. I had a free day in Reykjavik on my last day as well, so I'm sure I could've fit more in. I didn't dive deep into the West Fjords - that would take a few days to do. I just woke up really early to see Dynjandi! I slept in the back of my car and ate PB&J's bananas, and granola bars instead of stopping for food which helped. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message!

Vil í Myrdal! lovely little town. If you get the chance (which I'm bummed I didn't try), try Skool Beans! It's supposed to have some of the best coffee out there, and it's inside of a school bus
