All we knew was that we wanted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/blog\/campsites-in-iceland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rent a camper<\/a> and go with the flow. That\u2019s what we did with Rent.Is! We chose the second cheaper camper for 2 person, all that mattered, was that there was a heater (god knows I\u2019m ALWAYS freezing my ass off- imagine in Iceland, camping for a week!). Anyways, here is our recap of our fabulous week living the <span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>#VanLife<\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\">First day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>6 AM Arrival at Keflavik International Airport and pick up camper van, damn they say Iceland is expensive, but here they\u2019re giving away free coffee and hot chocolate with a cleaner bathroom than what I have at home <span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>#score<\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n<p>We took the Kangoo, it included a small heater for cold nights! Much needed as the nights are rather cold (in mid-May the mercury dropped to 2-4 degrees Celsius), sleeping bag, pillows, blankets, pots and pans, cutlery, table, chairs, USB plug and stove included. The WiFi was supposed to be included, but the battery connection was damaged, so we could enjoy it in a very limited way (30 min in about 1 week), they charge $ 5 per day for unlimited data usage, and do not reimburse easily. Think twice. But in the end the landscapes of the country makes your forget you need your daily social media fix ?.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>The Golden Circle<\/strong><\/span> is a loop of attractions to see on the outskirts of Reykjavik.

Awesome, but filled with tourists.

At Lagoon Glacier, icebergs float all year around in the lake. Their blue windshield washer color is surprising.<\/p>\n<p>We spend our second night camping in H\u00f6fn with a splendid view of the lands, surrounded by mountains and on a clear day, we must see the water.<\/p>\n<p>We tried one of the best restaurant of Iceland according to our travel guide, and the best according to us ?

We camped at the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/blog\/campsites-in-iceland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beautiful campsite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Fifth day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The longest driving day! We go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/blog\/snaefellsnes-travel-and-camping-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull peninsula<\/a>! About 4 hours or 5 hours drive to get there. The view on the road was the rainiest since the beginning of the trip.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Kirkjufell<\/strong><\/span> is a surprising mountain, on one side we see it low and wide, and on the other much steeper. Covered with a beautiful layer of moss, we do not walk there. It is observed rather on the other side of the street next to another beautiful foss (fall).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Arnarstapi<\/strong><\/span> is a mini (really tiny) little village with restaurant, food truck, hotels and harbour, but the important point of the area are the cliffs. So rich, massive and wonderful on the ocean. Several seagulls stay there.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Akranes:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>As the rain did not stop and there was not much camping in the peninsula, we went to Borgarnes for a pizza dinner. No chance of dining outside in the rain. Then we continue our road to get closer to Reykjavik, camping in Akranes. Super camping overlooking the sea. There is even a small beach to watch the rain fall haha! By the way, those Hraun chocolate cookies became an obsession during this week, they are AH-MA-ZING!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Akranes-Black-sand-beach.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24322\" title=\"Akranes Black sand beach\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Akranes-Black-sand-beach-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Akranes Black sand beach\" width=\"553\" height=\"415\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lunch-on-the-beach.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24323\" title=\"Lunch on the beach\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lunch-on-the-beach-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lunch on the beach\" width=\"311\" height=\"415\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Sixth day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We go to Reykyavik in less than an hour from Akranes. Note that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goiceland.com\/blog\/tunnels-in-iceland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the tunnel<\/a> to take on Route 1 costs about $ 10 CAD. It is easy to park in town for free (it&#8217;s Sunday). Then we walk the whole city, the main attractions are pretty much all within walking distance. Happy hour at prices similar to what we are used, at Kaldi&#8217;s on a street perpendicular to the 2 most touristy streets (Sk\u00f3lav\u00f6r\u00f0ust\u00edgur and Laugavegur). The cozy and welcoming ambiance catches you as soon as you enter the small bar, where you find a a good mix of tourists and locals. The evening we were there, a group of old men met for happy hour. Dressed in their best clothes, they share smoked fish and an Aperol Spritz <span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>#cute<\/strong><\/span>. We had dinner at Salt in the port, but I do not recommend it at all, too expensive and not as tasty as Pakkh\u00fas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Kaldi-Bar-Reykjavik.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24324\" title=\"Kaldi Bar Reykjavik\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Kaldi-Bar-Reykjavik-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kaldi Bar Reykjavik\" width=\"875\" height=\"1167\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We slept in Grindavik to get closer to the Blue Lagoon! The camping was great, heated common area, where you must remove your shoes. And if you are just starting your week in Iceland, this is a gold mine of food and alcohol leftover from other campers. <span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Bonus:<\/strong><\/span> we hear the sheep bellowed next door!<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Seventh day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We did nothing but relax in salt water, mineral?, turquoise?, not quite sure what makes the Blue Lagoon water this way. Note that you must ABSOLUTELY book in advance, otherwise no way to access it. Not given, a hefty $ 130 per person to access the baths, a drink and a mask of silica, but it&#8217;s worth the cost. Unique experience of its kind, and the water is at the perfect temperature. Then we already leave to the airport and drop the camper that had become our little nest for the week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Blue-Lagoon-Iceland-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24325\" title=\"The Blue Lagoon Iceland\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Blue-Lagoon-Iceland-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The Blue Lagoon Iceland\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Overall, I recommend it. The camper experience made me want to travel this way more often! You feel so independent driving everywhere you want, sleeping wherever you feel like, cooking the meal of your choice whenever!
