This video is a travelogue of a journey from Europe to Iceland, driven in a Smart car. The traveler, who is not a philologist, faces various challenges, including language barriers, expensive accommodation, and a lost camera. Despite these setbacks, he is impressed by the beauty of Iceland, its unique culture, and the kindness of its people.
The video starts with the traveler's journey from Europe to Iceland, which took five days and covered 2200 km. He arrived in Iceland via the Ferry Smyril Line on August 16, 2018. Upon arrival, he was disappointed to find that his initial perception of Iceland, filled with sunny weather and green shores, was not accurate.
The traveler's first impression of Iceland was that it was not as he had imagined. He thought that Iceland would meet him with sunny weather and green shores, but instead, he found himself in a land of grey skies and blue ice. He was also surprised to find out that this was the first SMART cabriolet in Iceland.
Upon arrival, the traveler was detained at the customs control because he had more than the allowed 3 kg of canned food in his trunk. He was worried about this, but it turned out to be a minor issue. The customs officials only checked his documents and not his car or belongings.
The traveler was also concerned about the high cost of living in Iceland. He found the prices of petrol and restaurants to be expensive. However, he was impressed by the beauty of Iceland and decided to stay despite the high costs.
One of the traveler's cameras was lost during his trip, but it was returned to him by the police of Iceland. The people who found the camera were not locals but tourists who had lost their cameras and gave them to the police. The traveler expressed his gratitude to the police and the people who returned his camera.
The traveler was also impressed by the Icelandic horses, a special breed found only in Iceland. He also enjoyed the food, despite its high price. He found the geothermal theme in Iceland to be very interesting and decided to make a separate video about it.
The traveler was also surprised by the high cost of accommodation in Iceland. He found the most expensive hostel ever, costing him 73$. However, he was willing to pay the price for the experience.
Despite the challenges, the traveler enjoyed his trip to Iceland. He found the people of Iceland to be very nice and the country to be very beautiful. He also enjoyed the unique experience of traveling by car, despite its challenges.
In conclusion, the traveler's journey to Iceland was filled with challenges and surprises, but it was also a journey of discovery and appreciation for the beauty and unique culture of Iceland.
