Good morning World!<\/span><\/h2>\n
As much as I had read, seen or heard about Iceland, I would have never imagined how fascinating, unique, diverse and wonderful this country is. I would like to share with you our travel route as all the comments from other travelers were very useful for us in order to prepare our trip and I hope we can help other people who is planning to visit this country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We hired a camper van for 12 full days (it was 14 days in total but we spent 2 days travelling), from 22nd September to 3rd October 2016.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Day One – Keflav\u00edk<\/span><\/h3>\n
We traveled from Palma de Mallorca (Spain) to Dusseldorf and from there to Keflavik. We landed at 11.30 pm local time. We had booked a room at Hotel Kef Guesthouse in Keflavik as the rent a car was also located in this city and we had agreed they would come to pick us up in this hotel on the following morning. The hotel is comfortable and clean; it is ok to spend a few hours there.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Day Two – Sn\u00e6fellsnes<\/span><\/h3>\n
We rented a camper for 2 people through Rent.is<\/a> just because it was the best price compared with other companies and the renting process was smooth.<\/div>\n
We started our route to West Peninsula Snaefellnes to go through the famous trail from Arnarstapi to Hellnar (2,5 kms) where we could also see Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Advise<\/strong><\/span>: if you do not have a lot of days, this is the area that we were very impressed as you have lots of kilometers with lots of wind. Check the weather forecast beforehand.<\/div>\n
We slept in a camping at Borgarnes with a spectacular sunset by the sea. That night, Iceland welcomed us with a big storm when we were ready to cook dinner\u2026such an experience!<\/div>\n

Day Three – Akureyri<\/span><\/h3>\n
We drove to Akureyri, we parked the van at a camping and we walked through the lovely forest of Kjarnask\u00f3gur. There are several routes marked for walking or cycling, it was beautiful and the weather was also perfect.<\/div>\n
