The Got2Go video footage never disappoints, and Lea has her humour turned up. Nice to have her back.
Six months pregnant, towing gear and bags around, strapping bikes down...you're amazing! Beautiful video, I so want to travel abroad on my motorcycle. This, and all your videos, make me Want2Go!
Danke Lea, Thank you Lea for this first detailed episode of your Icelandic episode. Good balance of technical or logistic information and great views of your adventure. It is informative and gives us a sense of escapement. 👍❤
Thank you, makes me happy that you liked this episode!
Iceland , Flatey , motorcycle trip , mussels and sunshine.
Living the dream!
With TP on church visits , pass.
😂😂😂 some churches are better than others!
Lea, another informative tour of a most beautiful country. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you. 😊
Great video thank you very well done as always thanks for taking us along. Cheers to ya.
Thank you for watching again!
So happy to see you and TP back again! Splendid photography as usual in this amazing country! 😁😁
Thank you!
This is awesome, so much beauty in Iceland. I did feel a little cold watching this, it’s been sunny and warm in California…🤪😘Thanks for sharing this.🙏🏻✌️
She's back! Hi Lea!
Very enjoying your video will show you jani 😉 very happy you back Jani n 🌹 very beautiful beautiful 😍 island 🏝️ good luck 🤞🤞
Thank you.
when will CZcams learn that the intrusive ads are very counterproductive. I will not use anything sdvertised and leave an such businesses that I may already use. It's good to have Lea back though
Unfortunately you also can’t decide so much on the adds no more. I of course want to leave some of the adds with my videos to at least cover a little bit of the costs that I have when traveling and compensate for the time I put into the videos - but since I am back there is no option no more to choose which kind of adds to have (I always only had skipable ones because I really think it’s bareable to watch a few seconds and give me a small income with that). Now they can just put whatever they like as soon as you agree on advertisement on the videos. 😑😑😑
@@Got2Go Hey Lea vidio yang anda berikan begitu bagus 😢
Kalo mau touring ke australia jangan lupa transitnya lewat INDONESIA , Karena banyal juga hal" menarik

Sallam 1 aspal dari penonton setiamu dari INDONESIA 😊😇

Ohhh thank you! Little A is appreciating the gifts - but maybe I will not give him Ice cream and lollipops at the same time!
@@Got2Go 🤣
Can hear u whole day... 🎉
I am all with Mr. Travelpartner about this church. 😊 I had a similar looking thing to support books on shelves. 😁
But Flatey looks a stonker! 🤗 Loads of beauty in this video of shakey Iceland (I have the vafri.is Iceland earthquake map open in a different window, off the tip of Reykaness peninsula there's an entire series of earthquakes going off today!)
😂😂😂 now that you say it I can see the bookholder shape. I will never be able to unsee this!!! 😂
@@Got2Go The power of suggestion! 🤗
Another Amazing Video.
Good evening Lea,
Iceland is so beautiful. Great (drone) footage.
I love the quietness of such places like Flatey. But not for too long😅.
I remember from Norway that you could have all types of weather in one day or a few days. You just had to be prepared with the right clothing in your backpack. We had snow in the middle of summer and a few days later it was sunny with 28°C.
Exactly - only that 28 degrees in Iceland would be like heatstroke 😂😂😂
Epic, stunning and spectacular ❤❤❤❤ enjoy 🎉🎉🎉
Sehr schön Lea !! Danke !! Lucky Luc
I'm glad to see you herre on YT again. Lookinfg forward to see your next episodes in Iceland! ✌
Thank you Lea for the first detailed episode to Iceland. Absolutely georgeous!❤😊
Hey Lea. Great starting video of your Iceland series. Wonderful to see you on the road again and to share your adventure, and very professional videos. Iceland looks like a beautiful, adventurer’s paradise. Hope you are well. Cheers and ride safe, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
That it is for sure! Has something for everyone!!
IM BIG FAN FROM KUWAIT
beautiful video as always.....lea......
Entertaining start to your Iceland adventure
Looking forward to the videos
Stay safe..
Thank you!
Welcome back!
I missed you.
I would love to go to Iceland, and your video makes it even more enticing.
This spring, I rode down the Appalachian Mountains and went out to the ocean. Your videos were a great guide for that trip!
Although, I didn't enjoy the Outerbanks as much as you did. In my CZcams video, I went on a rant about why I didn't like it but included a link to your video for people to get a happier description.
Anyhow, congrats on your baby and welcome to a new way of life. There is nothing better than being a parent!
Go forth with an open mind and, most importantly, an open heart and remember that self-care is not selfish!

Hola from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Da kann man nicht meckern. Nothing to complain. 😌
Das freut mich! Willkommen zurück Toto!
Wow Lea, loved it, and for a lady six months pregnant you certainly didn't let it stop you, bet you made your partner panic a few times though. Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you.
Don’t know if I made him panick - but for sure made him close my riding boots every day 😂😂😂
Incredible 🎉
Beautiful place 😊

Awww 😍

First of all… what a gorgeous place. I’ve seen other Iceland motorcycle videos and they are always dick-swinging competitions to see who can ride the fastest before someone breaks a leg or collarbone. Hard. Pass. No thank you.
This IS the way Iceland should be seen. Much appreciated. Much respect, Lea. Well done. The homes on Flatey remind me of the Maritimes on the eastern coast of Canada. It oozes of natural beauty.
Okay, I’ve got my crack investigative crew working on little A’s name - my thirteen-year-old daughter. 😂 Her first comment was, “This is a little creepy, a little stalkerish.” I replied, “But it’s for a signed copy of Lea’s book!” While rolling her eyes, she then said, “Oh, okay. That makes it okay then.” 😂
Teen daughters. Sheesh. 😂 She’s probably not wrong. 😂
This is what we have so far. Your partner has at least one large ear (as per the two-up ride to retrieve your bikes, he dislikes churches and site-seeing (typical man 😂), he can’t bend down to attach a ratchet strap to secure the bikes on the ferry (probably due to knee and hip injuries from years of Olympic ski jump training and crashing), so he has his pregnant partner do so, and English is not his first language as per his pronunciation of “Com-PLI-ca-ted”, and the delicious drink that looked like it had rhubarb chunks in it. Yummy.
Still working on your partner’s ethnic background. I’m sticking with Eastern European but I heard a little South African in his voice. LOL.
My wife and daughter say to start with Adam. I think they are wrong, but if they aren’t, I’ll never hear the end of it. Alex or Alec, is another. Alexander is another strong name. I’ll throw in Andy since your partner is probably a huge Bee Gees & Andy Gibb fanatic.
BTW, if I somehow do miraculously guess little A’s name, don’t tell me that I’ve done so until the end of the series. Stalkerish, yes. 😂 But we do respect your, your partner’s, and little A’s privacy.
This is for fun. And a book. High stakes.
Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦
😂😂😂 this is getting really fun, I love that the chief investigator on the case is now your daughter. 😂😂😂 and because I gave you the permission to guess I think it is not quite as stalkerish as it might seem . 😂
So with one point you are very wrong: the travel partner can bend down and knee down - but he is mechanically such a failure, that he doesn’t get how to put the belt into the ratchet and how to tighten it - so in the end it’s on me to do both to protect his bike from falling.
It’s non of the name above. And a hint about the ethnicity: you were already a bit closer to his homeland in some of the other comments you made…
See you at the next episode when it’s time to: Guess little As name! 😂😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Got2Go 🤣
Excellent. I shall inform my daughter.
Your travel partner is definitely not German. I could be mistaken, but like Canadian children learn how to play hockey in the womb, German children are born with a full understanding of all things engineering. In fact, my GS was designed and constructed by Mrs. Shultz’s kindergarten class. It was a homework project. And my GS runs like a charm too. 🤣 We also considered Switzerland (with this new ‘failure’ information, we no longer do) because the Swiss are renowned for fine watch making. Yes, another stereotype. 🤣
I think I’ll bring my son in on this investigation too. I bought him a Honda Grom to learn how to ride. Maybe he and I can tour Iceland on mini motos someday. 😉
Anyway, back to the investigation. Thanks Lea. Until next week…
Is it not better to put your bike gloves under the ferry straps to stop it cutting into the seat.
A comment :-)
That accent. Mmmm
What happened your 😊baby’s I want see
These videos were from the time before little A was born!
@@Got2Go oh ok 👌 thanks
Hi Lea, beautiful newly mama👍👏👏👏
