Hi there! We are Eva and Dani. After four years of relationship we have chosen the magical Iceland for our first trip together. We arrived in the land of ice and fire on the 12th October and we spent the next two days in Reykjavik discovering the capital. But our real adventure began when we picked up the camper van<\/a> rented with Rent.is and then we started writing our travel diary that now we want to share with you. We hope you will enjoy it!<\/p>\n

Day 1 – Northern Lights<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s October 14th in the afternoon and we must pick up what would be our wheeled-home for the next five days: a Renault Kangoo which we\u2019ve named Lights Hunter. After buying some food we go on to find a place to sleep. It\u2019s already dark when we find it so we have no idea where we are, but we settle in here wondering what we will see when we wake up next morning\u2026 Exciting, isn\u2019t it? Well, this is not all! A few minutes before falling asleep we look out the window and\u2026 There they are! Iceland welcomes us with its wonderful Northern lights show<\/a>. Our treasured Lights Hunter lives up to its name the first night. Well done lovely! Already in pyjamas, we put on our coat as fast as we can and go out to see the green lights.<\/p>\n

Day 2 –\u00a0\u03f7ingvellir National Park<\/span><\/h3>\n

Today we wake up in the middle of a breath-taking landscape surrounded by extensive lands, mountains and vegetation. After taking lots of pictures we unfolded the camping kit included in our Lights Hunter and we have breakfast. With recovered energy and our stomachs full we head to \u03f7ingvellir National Park<\/a> where we spend hours walking and admiring its peace and beauty. We also make a quick stop in Almannagj\u00e1 fault where Dani attempt to separate both continents even more but he only gets the disappointment of knowing that he isn\u2019t as strong as he thought. Later in the afternoon, we visit the Great Geysir where the skittish Eva gets startled every time it erupts and Dani meets a couple of chatterbox crows with whom he has a long and interesting conversation. We end the day in the Golden Circle visiting the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, a must for those who visit Iceland.<\/p>\n
