Guys, help us find the slogan for Iceland 😂 MARIE LIKES: Iceland: the place where you can lick glaciers. DOM LIKES: Iceland: the place where they filmed Rogue One. Any other ideas? 👇🏼
Iceland...the island that inspires the film industry with an ever changing landscape of blue lagoons, red Martian lands, waterfalls, and lick-able glaciers... all while catering to van dwelling tourists!
I seriously can never get enough of you two! I rewatch your videos when I start getting anxious and your personalities make me feel better! I’m trying to convince my boyfriend to go to Iceland and rent a van!
Wow!!! Standing ovation guys - your videography on this was spectacular, better than a movie!! And I have to say Marie, your Eyes were Smiling as you saw these sights!! Iceland, bring Joy to your Eyes!
Aww thanks Tom! Honestly, Iceland is our favorite country so far. The people are nice and the landscape is beyond this world. Truly feels like planet Mars. See you next week in New Zealand.
I love the vibe on your videos, the music, the way you edit and of course the happiness on you guys. It's been a joy to watch your videos, especially in these times of social isolation, it's truly help my day get easier. Thanks and take care.
Oh Iceland is the country in my dreams. Been there twice, in 1994 for 8 days (+a 3 day stop at Faeroe Islands) and for 12 days in 1997.... I really want to go back some day. Thanks for the reminder. :-D
I'm so saddened to see how dirty the ice looks now. I remember my friend going there in the 80ies and he came back with photos of the purest white ice. Same from when he went to Greenland. What a shame we humans can't figure out how to take better care of our planet. Apart from that it looks like you had a great trip. Guess you can't miss what you never had/saw. Great video as per usual. Thanks for sharing.
I heard the glacier melt so much in the last couple of years as well. It is a very, very sad story! C'mon people, let's take care of our beautiful land!
Can't even express in words how much happy and empty this video made me. With the love and support of you guys through this channel, my wish to travel the world is getting stronger and stronger every single day. Love you guys so much!!!! Looking forward to see Newzealand from your eyes.
Aww thank you so much! Iceland was a blast, and New Zealand was so much fun as well. Wait to see Marie killing a wild boar with her hands. Not even kidding.
Spent three days there - holiday cut short as the airport was closed for bad weather (December). Absolutely loved it, we dream about going back in summer months, so welcoming and scenic. Would now like to do a camper van trip thanks to this video, thanks you two. x
Lol, your French lesson is also a line from an old Pointer Sisters song. As teenagers we used to sing that line, of course not understanding what we were saying! 🤦♀️
That's the story of everybody else in the world singing English music at the radio (as a tbc second language) and to realise years after the exact meaning lol 🤷🏽♀️
My friend and I went to Iceland in Sept. of 2018. It is such a beautiful place. We stayed in hostels. As an American, to be honest I had never even heard of hostels before and it was such a neat experience. Kind of different for us, sleeping in a room with a bunch of strangers you don't even know. But it was actually quite fun. We met a lot of interesting people, we got to see the Northern Lights, the glaciers, the moon rocks. At first we were thinking wow, there are so many churches, everyone must have their own church, but later we decided those must have been family cemeteries that everyone has on their properties. Waterfalls everywhere. I think it just might be the most beautiful place on the planet.
Thank you so much for posting Iceland!!! I did the Circle Tour via bus and tour guide. I appreciate so much your perspective as a vanlifer. Iceland is the most fascinating place on earth. Thank you so much!!!!
@@vanlifesagas I think it was about 8 years ago. I remember I stayed in a youth hostile in Reykjavik and had to take a shower. I only had 2 tea towels with me, so used them and stuck them wet in a Ziplock to bring on the flight home. Let me tell you, I almost threw away the towels when I got home, they stunk like sulfur. Peeeyew! I skipped the Blue Lagoon because of that! The airport looked like Ikea..... The tour guide had so many wonderful stories. He said the only thing they can grow there is cucumbers and tomatoes, so that is why their salads have only those veggies. I am Norwegian and Swedish by heritage, so the Viking history was so interesting. I live in Minnesota. It was like landing on Mars, wasn't it? Crazy!
My family of 4 went in summer 2018 for 2 weeks. The nicest places we enjoyed were those unexpected, those we saw cars stopped but were not in any tourist map. The trip to watching wales was a waste of money and time. Riding horses on the black beach was much better! The weather was so changing!! Waterfalls were awesome 🥰 BTW drones were forbidden when we went... Thanks for your great video!!
Yeah, the unexpected places are the best. We are not big fans of crowds, hence that’s why we suggest going during shoulder season. Drones were starting to be controlled in 2016, but we also share or buy drone shots of different areas that local videographers shot with permits.
Wow guys..... That gives all whole new meaning to the word EPIC!!!! How beautiful! Def added 2 my bucket list! Thanx 4 sharing that...i would've never known!!! Love the artwork on the wall behind u btw 😊 This is gonna b a great series!!! Love ya guys hope ur enjoyin' urselves!! ✌&💛
I don’t know who makes the musical selections for your videos but your choices are wonderful and very unexpected in such a good way. No one else has such a wide range of vintage and soulful music. I even bought your theme music from iTunes and added it to several playlists, including my playlist of absolute favorites. Also, kudos for your effective drone usage. So many CZcamsrs go overboard with drone use to the point it’s boring, but not you.
Awe thanks Carol! That means a lot. Thank you taking the time to comment. We usually buy all our music online, from Music Bed. We'll be listing those in the description from now on.
Thanks! It’s just that we here that French phrase every where we go, and half the time, people don’t really know what they’re saying. We thought we’d tell them! Haha
Great video, we toured by bicycle in June a couple of years before you - so so windy (very tough) and west fjords were other worldly and remote, lots of natural 'hotpots' which were great for tired cycle tourers like us. We also loved Akureyri and the hot pool complex. Looking forward to your NZ trip video... I hope it didn't feel to overcrowded with campers back then there are more than 30,000 registered...
Imagine having breakfast with The Mountain, it just being casually jogging (ja I barely walk my dogs out because I must, but pretend) and all of a sudden.Thorisdötir. Iceland is so magical... I fully envy you! That is why here it is my envious way... Mi mi mi wi ire in Icilindi mi mi mi. ¡PURA VIDA!
@@vanlifesagas maybe not epic, just the pronunciation, I bet if you translate them would be like John or Pete... Marie in spanish is María... sounds way better in french.
Overseas travel! No masks required back then! Those were the days! Thanks for sharing... We didn't realize it's only 5 hours from Montreal, reasonably close actually. Awesome video content as always. Take care... With love from Vancouver Canada 🤗🤗🤗
I definitely want to go to Iceland now. I already wanted to go, your video made it number one on my list now 🤩 thanks for sharing your travels with us 🙏🏼😁
We rented a Suzuki from a Company called, wait for it...... Sad Cars. YES THAT was the name. We got into Iceland at 2 am. They picked us up to take us to their business, to pick up the 4WD. Then we went to our reservation and slept. Next morning for 2 hours all I could say was WOW. Every place we drove all I could say is WOW. I had to slap myself from saying WOW. We were there for only 7 days. We were there also in 2016 during the world cup or was it the Euro Cup?. I want to go again, was the camper an automatic?
Hahah Sad cars! They have to work on their naming. That's horrible! lol Our van was manual. That's actually where Marie learned how to drive manual. (she did stall much).
Looks like a great trip. I've only heard great things from people that have gone.Hope to make it there one day. Ha ha - the French lesson - now I have the song stuck in my head.
If there’s only one highway in Iceland, then Hwy 1 is a pretty good name for it. ☺️ As always, great videography and story. Iceland looks fantastic, looking forward to New Zealand!
This video makes my heart ache in the best of ways, because I miss Iceland so much. It is my favorite place in the universe so thank you so much for posting this in a time where travel is so difficult 💞 I hiked the same glacier, & idk about you guys but I got so emotional seeing climate change happen right in front of my eyes with the receding of the glacier.
Oh don't mention climate change. It's horrible. We were in the Rockies this summer and went to Athabasca glacier: it melt tremendously over the past years and it's the saddest thing.
Iceland was populated by emigrant Norwegians in the period 870-950 AD. Icelandic has much in common with the Norse language as it was spoken in Norway until about the 13th century. Myvatn means my water. My is mine and vatn is water. The Icelanders also took up some words from Irish Gaelic. But now I do not understand a quack of Icelandic language, but we love the people there. Reykjavik means bay with smoke, Reykja is smoke, vik is bay.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Iceland has been in my buckle list for 4 years, I want to go in July for my bday I heard is the warmest month. I don’t like the cold :-)
Du pur content meme de chez vous! L'islande etait deja sur ma bucketlist mais ajoute ca en van ah wow! Tellement hate aux prochains dimanches pour vos autres aventures. Ben du love du Quebec, vous etes vraiment incroyables, continuer ce que vous faites pcq cest du bonbon
I went on a trip to Newfoundland with my sister a few years ago and it was epic. If you ever head out that way you should try Iceberg Beer. Its SOOO GOOD!
This looks so amazing! I really need to travel more in the future but I don't like airplanes so baby steps haha. That is probably why vanlife was so appealing to me, keep low to the ground
@@vanlifesagas I have flown one time, the trip there I was seated by a window and it was fine but back home it was in the middle seats all the way back, that was horrible
Ah oui, vraiment. En fait, on n'a même pas fait beaucoup de randonnées. Les chutes et les espaces sont tellement accessibles. Ça en vaut vraiment le détour.
The Renault Master has nothing to do with the Ram ProMaster. The Master is a van that is produced by Renault, and is also sold as the Opel & Vauxhall Movano and the Nissan NV400. The ProMaster is produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), which is a rebadged Fiat Ducato from Europe. In Europe, the Ducato would also be rebadged as the Peugeot Boxer and the Citroën Relay (UK)/Jumper (rest of Europe).
Fun video! Can't wait to see the others to come! How long do you suggest a trip to Iceland for? Is 10days 2 weeks doable ? Im surprised with your french lesson of today. Thats like the first sentence people say when they dont speak french... mdr..
10 days is sufficient. Most people actually travel around Iceland in 7 days. 10 days allowed us to take our time and see more things. It was perfect :)
really enjoyed this video, music, edit and content was great, very natural. I'm with Marie "the place you can lick glaciers" is it wrong I think that sounds sexy? looks amazing. When you guys coming to Bonnie Scotland to explore the west coast, the best wee country in the world. And from a straight man, with that accent and those flowing locks I'd give the "french lesson" serious consideration, just saying ! je vous aime les gars
HAhaha, tanks for the invitation to Scotland. We will definitely let you know when we go! We were talking about a road trip around your country this morning! Pretty crazy you are inviting us now!!!
It's an amazing country to visit in a van. In terms of packing, Dom and I are really minimalistic so it wasn't hard for us. If you need help, we're here!
"it's a big canyon" 😂 well it looks like that because there are tectonic plates there ripping the country apart. The name itself, Þingvellir means "parliament place" or something similar and comes from the fact that the settlers held annual parliaments there, deciding on laws and passing judgements there. Close to the canyon where the river flows is a place called Drekkingahylur where women whom got the death sentence were drowned, the last one in 1793. The men had their heads chopped off ;)
what month were you in Iceland? We were in Iceland end of August and it snowed. ;) Still agree with the shoulder seasons. Especially with all the natural hot water swimming holes.
Is there plenty of gas stations in between? Looks like nothing and nothing in between. Where did you guys park to sleep? camp grounds? anywhere there was a spot by the street?
Yeah, there are a few gas stations along the way. But most cars are diesel. I think we fueled like 3 times. It's quite a small country. In terms of camping, when we were there in 2016, we could sleep anywhere. Now, you do need to sleep in campgrounds but they are VERY well located.
I always wanted to ship my motorcycle to Iceland and tour the country in the early nineties. That dream never came true, but we did go on a four day city break to Reykjavik and did the golden circle. It was also my first time on an aeroplane. How did you find the prices, coming from England everything seemed very expensive.
Once I found your channel I went back and watched your older videos. But all in french so didn't understand anything. Can u redo the other countries u went to also please.
What do the lines represent? I see Dom point to them in your intro. WHAT was that throwback, vintage GPS?! LOL Marie - yes, a FART! REALLY enjoy when y'all talk your native tongue! Dom - O M G the French lesson. FINALLY something I can use! LOL Truly...y'all are pretty great. HUGS and visit TEXAS!
Hello from Amnon in NYC USA. Thank you for sharing your video's very pleasure. I also like very much the songs you have. All the best to you and stay save please. Amnon. Do you ask yourself why is the church is black. Fine out. ⚘🙏😁
Hi .this is NOT CORRECT at all. Coz the members of the black church did not have the same faith as other Christians churches .so they have been not able to belong with the white churches. Now that have to be along .I hope that helps you with the answer. Amnon. NYC
Oh really? That’s interesting. I wonder if they see it that way over there as well? When I look it up online, it says the same thing. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
❤️❤️❤️ ISLANDE❤️❤️❤️ mon rêve... aussitôt que la pandémie se pousse j'y vais, est-ce possible d'avoir votre itinéraire et le détails des bons points a prendre en considération. j'y vais moi en été donc juin juillet Is it difficult to speak or to understand ??? it's my most fear to get there witout speaking iceland language
@@vanlifesagas ouiiiiii je l'avais vu cette vidéo... c'était un WOW moi jaloux ;) lâchez pas ! continuer a nous faire rêver. j'irais bien avec vous ahahah
We just booked our Happy Camper 3 for next May (so excited). Curious to know about top bunk. Marie, if you had to sleep up there, would it be too tight? My friend is about your size, and she's concerned. Any tips on things to bring with us to make the camper more organized/convenient? (clotheslines, etc). Our first time ever in a camper van, so we are newbies! Can't wait!
Guys, help us find the slogan for Iceland 😂
MARIE LIKES: Iceland: the place where you can lick glaciers.
DOM LIKES: Iceland: the place where they filmed Rogue One.
Any other ideas? 👇🏼
Iceland: The place where I got engaged :-D
Vanlife Sagas Iceland: The place my transatlantic flight emergency landed with one engine.
Iceland...the island that inspires the film industry with an ever changing landscape of blue lagoons, red Martian lands, waterfalls, and lick-able glaciers... all while catering to van dwelling tourists!
Iceland: It smells like fart.....(joke, sorry Iceland)
I love this revisit of your first “saga”, merci
Iceland .... its not Delaware.
😂😂😂😂
I seriously can never get enough of you two! I rewatch your videos when I start getting anxious and your personalities make me feel better!
I’m trying to convince my boyfriend to go to Iceland and rent a van!
Awe you're the best! Thanks Delanie. See you next in New Zealand. You'll want to convince your boyfriend to rent a van there too :)
My Sunday is complete
With the new episode of the Dommy and Marie show
Ahhhh you're the best! Thanks Tony. xx
@@vanlifesagas Kind of gave away my generation with Osmond reference.
Hands down you two are my favorite van life couple! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
That's too much. We don't deserve that! Thanks Andrea :)
Amazing, quel voyage! Vos images sont absolument renversantes!😍
Merci beaucoup!
Iceland is now in the top 10 of my bucket list. So beautiful.
It's seriously one of the most beautiful we have seen!
Wow!!! Standing ovation guys - your videography on this was spectacular, better than a movie!!
And I have to say Marie, your Eyes were Smiling as you saw these sights!!
Iceland, bring Joy to your Eyes!
Aww thanks Tom! Honestly, Iceland is our favorite country so far. The people are nice and the landscape is beyond this world. Truly feels like planet Mars. See you next week in New Zealand.
Wonderful video
Thank Mayanja! See you next week in New Zealand!
Fantastic post this week, thank you for sharing!
Thanks William! See you next week in New Zealand.

Ahhh that means a lot. Thanks Helcio! You're amazing! Thanks for kind feedback. Stay safe ❤️
Oh Iceland is the country in my dreams. Been there twice, in 1994 for 8 days (+a 3 day stop at Faeroe Islands) and for 12 days in 1997.... I really want to go back some day. Thanks for the reminder.
:-D
The Faroe Islands are also on our bucket list. We just feel it’s a bit expensive to get there right now.
I'm so saddened to see how dirty the ice looks now. I remember my friend going there in the 80ies and he came back with photos of the purest white ice. Same from when he went to Greenland. What a shame we humans can't figure out how to take better care of our planet.

Aww thanks for that :) Happy to know we're making you smile. See you next week!
Your taste in music is impeccable! Combined with your photography and editing skills; A++! LOVE!
Thanks a lot. There’s a lot of effort into all this!
Spent three days there - holiday cut short as the airport was closed for bad weather (December). Absolutely loved it, we dream about going back in summer months, so welcoming and scenic. Would now like to do a camper van trip thanks to this video, thanks you two. x
You HAVE to go around the island in a van. Check out @happycampers for options. They know what they’re doing.
Lol, your French lesson is also a line from an old Pointer Sisters song. As teenagers we used to sing that line, of course not understanding what we were saying! 🤦♀️
Hahah yup. Classic song Christian Aguilera!
That's the story of everybody else in the world singing English music at the radio (as a tbc second language) and to realise years after the exact meaning lol 🤷🏽♀️
My friend and I went to Iceland in Sept. of 2018. It is such a beautiful place. We stayed in hostels. As an American, to be honest I had never even heard of hostels before and it was such a neat experience. Kind of different for us, sleeping in a room with a bunch of strangers you don't even know. But it was actually quite fun. We met a lot of interesting people, we got to see the Northern Lights, the glaciers, the moon rocks. At first we were thinking wow, there are so many churches, everyone must have their own church, but later we decided those must have been family cemeteries that everyone has on their properties. Waterfalls everywhere. I think it just might be the most beautiful place on the planet.
It just feels like another planet, don’t you think? Hostels can be fun, but when you get a room full of weird people, things can get pretty bad! Haha.
Ça y est. Je viens d’ajouter à ma bucket list : licher un glacier et péter incognito en Iceland.
Hahah parfait! Excellent choix d'ajout à la bucket list. Tu devrais en faire une priorité!
Definitely putting iceland on my travel bucketlist!
You must! Such a crazy beautiful country!
You make me so happy. You are so joyful and fun. Love your travels, your van and your French Lessons.
Awe thanks Jill! That means a lot :) See you next Sunday!

Très hâte de voir voir voyage en Afrique du Sud! 🤩
Merci Roxane! C'est magique l'Islande. Attends de voir l'Afrique du Sud :)
I didn't have any knowledge of Iceland! Now I would love to go and spend time there. Love the van tour idea!
You must! It's seriously the most amazing country!

Must have been alot of horsepower in that yellow van! Great video, I didnt realize Iceland was so beautiful!
Hahah good one. It went like 1203910293 miles/hour. SO FAST! 😂

Oh you must! We have to go back as well, in the winter this time! Can't imagine what the fjords would look like in the snow.
You should have yelled "Play JaJa Ding Dong!!" at the country festival 😁

Sorry for this. We knew the song would stick! Hahaha. Iceland is one of those countries! Epic.
Thanks a lot for making me dream of mire travelling one day ... As France is under lockdown again 😬🙈

If there’s only one highway in Iceland, then Hwy 1 is a pretty good name for it. ☺️

Thank you! Wait to see next weeks video in New Zealand.
Looks epic! Can’t wait for New Zealand next week, love love love it there, it’s on my bucketlist to go back with my kids!
New Zealand is out !!! Let us know what you think!
Just love you're sense of adventure. Don't know if licking an iceberg would be on my list though! Lol
Licking the iceberg was the best part.
Iceland was populated by emigrant Norwegians in the period 870-950 AD. Icelandic has much in common with the Norse language as it was spoken in Norway until about the 13th century. Myvatn means my water. My is mine and vatn is water. The Icelanders also took up some words from Irish Gaelic. But now I do not understand a quack of Icelandic language, but we love the people there. Reykjavik means bay with smoke, Reykja is smoke, vik is bay.
Wow! That is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Icelandic is such a beautiful language!
OMG, I so much love the "French lesson"!!! Do you really say/use the phrase "sexy times" in English??? I love it...
Haha we do use sexy times !! A Lot.
I love Iceland. Got engaged under the Northern Lights there. Would love to go back and do a road trip! ❤️
Ohhhh you lucky! Getting engaged under the northern lights must be epic!
@@vanlifesagas Not gonna lie, the picture our tour guide took was pretty epic. ☺️
just another epic video
Thanks! Let us know if there are things you would like to see in other travel videos! There are any more coming up!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Iceland has been in my buckle list for 4 years, I want to go in July for my bday I heard is the warmest month. I don’t like the cold :-)
Oh yeah July is the best month to go. You'll have the midnight sun. It'll be sunny 24h/day. It's just beautiful.
I wanted to say Iceland is beautiful but rather cold...but then I remembered you're canadian ..so you don't feel cold ;)
Hahah to us, Iceland is much hotter than Canada in the winter.
Du pur content meme de chez vous! L'islande etait deja sur ma bucketlist mais ajoute ca en van ah wow!
Tellement hate aux prochains dimanches pour vos autres aventures. Ben du love du Quebec, vous etes vraiment incroyables, continuer ce que vous faites pcq cest du bonbon
Merci Marine! On espère réussir à vous faire rire à chaque semaine!
I went on a trip to Newfoundland with my sister a few years ago and it was epic. If you ever head out that way you should try Iceberg Beer. Its SOOO GOOD!
Ohhh it's noted! Thanks for sharing that. Added to the list!
This looks so amazing! I really need to travel more in the future but I don't like airplanes so baby steps haha. That is probably why vanlife was so appealing to me, keep low to the ground
Ohhh fear of flying is real. Marie is also scared of planes. But she manages to handle it. You can do it :)
@@vanlifesagas I have flown one time, the trip there I was seated by a window and it was fine but back home it was in the middle seats all the way back, that was horrible
Si on ne peut pas faire de randonnée, est-ce que ça vaut la peine quand même d'y aller? Ça l'air tellement magique.
Ah oui, vraiment. En fait, on n'a même pas fait beaucoup de randonnées. Les chutes et les espaces sont tellement accessibles. Ça en vaut vraiment le détour.
Aaaaah.. so jealous of this trip. One day I'm gonna go to Iceland too
We seriously can't wait to go back. It is just too beautiful!
Yay, we get to see your other travels! Iceland: no CGI required
I’m pretty sure the tourism board of Iceland would buy this Moto tomorrow morning!
@@vanlifesagas good idea!
The Renault Master has nothing to do with the Ram ProMaster. The Master is a van that is produced by Renault, and is also sold as the Opel & Vauxhall Movano and the Nissan NV400. The ProMaster is produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), which is a rebadged Fiat Ducato from Europe. In Europe, the Ducato would also be rebadged as the Peugeot Boxer and the Citroën Relay (UK)/Jumper (rest of Europe).
Yeah, very true! Marie meant it looked similar!
Fun video!
Can't wait to see the others to come!
How long do you suggest a trip to Iceland for? Is 10days 2 weeks doable ?
Im surprised with your french lesson of today. Thats like the first sentence people say when they dont speak french... mdr..
10 days is sufficient. Most people actually travel around Iceland in 7 days. 10 days allowed us to take our time and see more things. It was perfect :)
really enjoyed this video, music, edit and content was great, very natural. I'm with Marie "the place you can lick glaciers" is it wrong I think that sounds sexy? looks amazing. When you guys coming to Bonnie Scotland to explore the west coast, the best wee country in the world. And from a straight man, with that accent and those flowing locks I'd give the "french lesson" serious consideration, just saying ! je vous aime les gars
HAhaha, tanks for the invitation to Scotland. We will definitely let you know when we go! We were talking about a road trip around your country this morning! Pretty crazy you are inviting us now!!!
Bucket list en tbk!
Men. Vraiment.
Big canyon? You are talking about the frigging crack between the continental plates!
Hahah that friggin crack!
I wanna ship my new van overseas sooo bad just to get here 😃😃
Ohh we do too! Trust me!
Great video. I never knew Iceland was a perfect destination forr travelers. Was it difficult trying to figure out what to pack?
It's an amazing country to visit in a van. In terms of packing, Dom and I are really minimalistic so it wasn't hard for us. If you need help, we're here!
Seriously sounds like a fairytale!!
It seriously was. Did you see the New Zealand video as well? Very pretty there also.
@@vanlifesagas Love NZ! It’s on my watch later list ;)
"it's a big canyon" 😂 well it looks like that because there are tectonic plates there ripping the country apart. The name itself, Þingvellir means "parliament place" or something similar and comes from the fact that the settlers held annual parliaments there, deciding on laws and passing judgements there. Close to the canyon where the river flows is a place called Drekkingahylur where women whom got the death sentence were drowned, the last one in 1793. The men had their heads chopped off ;)
Whattt! Where were you when we needed you a few years ago in Iceland?! We didn't know that. Thanks for sharing ❤️
@@vanlifesagas Guiding or fining tourists for speeding :')
what month were you in Iceland? We were in Iceland end of August and it snowed. ;) Still agree with the shoulder seasons. Especially with all the natural hot water swimming holes.
It was in September. And there was still snow in many places. One guy over there told us they get 10 meters of snow per year. That is pretty awesome.
@@vanlifesagas Wow. We better stop complaining in Canada
Is there plenty of gas stations in between? Looks like nothing and nothing in between. Where did you guys park to sleep? camp grounds? anywhere there was a spot by the street?
Yeah, there are a few gas stations along the way. But most cars are diesel. I think we fueled like 3 times. It's quite a small country. In terms of camping, when we were there in 2016, we could sleep anywhere. Now, you do need to sleep in campgrounds but they are VERY well located.
@@vanlifesagas awesome! Thanks!
I always wanted to ship my motorcycle to Iceland and tour the country in the early nineties. That dream never came true, but we did go on a four day city break to Reykjavik and did the golden circle. It was also my first time on an aeroplane. How did you find the prices, coming from England everything seemed very expensive.
Oh you are right! Everything is very expensive in Iceland. I would definitely ship your motorcycle though, that would be a blast.
Don't have one anymore, that was 30 years ago!
I would love to go back just to see Seljalandsfoss.
Once I found your channel I went back and watched your older videos. But all in french so didn't understand anything. Can u redo the other countries u went to also please.
Absolutely! We're redoing them all now, in English. See you next week in New Zealand.
@@vanlifesagas love it!!!!
What do the lines represent? I see Dom point to them in your intro.
WHAT was that throwback, vintage GPS?! LOL
Marie - yes, a FART!
REALLY enjoy when y'all talk your native tongue!
Dom - O M G the French lesson. FINALLY something I can use! LOL
Truly...y'all are pretty great. HUGS and visit TEXAS!
Hahah you must check our van tour. You'll now what the yellow line represents, and you'll also be making fun of Dom. Wait for it.
Hope my videos will have the same quality one day my friend!
Of course they will, you just have to practice! If you have any questions, we're here!
Eu gosto muito desse canal, é sério! Kkk
Thank you very much! We are glad you like it. Is that Portuguese?
@@vanlifesagas Yes I'm from Brazil. Thanks for answering. =D
Hello from Amnon in NYC USA. Thank you for sharing your video's very pleasure. I also like very much the songs you have.
All the best to you and stay save please. Amnon. Do you ask yourself why is the church is black. Fine out. ⚘🙏😁
Very good questions Amnon. The church is actually painted black with pitch to protect it from the harsh Icelandic elements.
Hi .this is NOT CORRECT at all. Coz the members of the black church did not have the same faith as other Christians churches .so they have been not able to belong with the white churches.
Now that have to be along .I hope that helps you with the answer. Amnon. NYC
Oh really? That’s interesting. I wonder if they see it that way over there as well? When I look it up online, it says the same thing. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
@@vanlifesagas you very welcome
Iceland where you can lick glaciers😂😂 that should be Their tourism slogan..
Hahah totally 😂
youpyyyyyyyyyyy
Soooo pretty!
❤️❤️❤️ ISLANDE❤️❤️❤️ mon rêve... aussitôt que la pandémie se pousse j'y vais, est-ce possible d'avoir votre itinéraire et le détails des bons points a prendre en considération. j'y vais moi en été donc juin juillet
Is it difficult to speak or to understand ??? it's my most fear to get there witout speaking iceland language
Salut Julien! Regarde ça : tu vas avoir l'itinéraire complet. vanlifesagas.com/islande-itineraire-de-10-jours-sur-la-terre-de-glace/
@@vanlifesagas ouiiiiii je l'avais vu cette vidéo... c'était un WOW moi jaloux ;) lâchez pas ! continuer a nous faire rêver. j'irais bien avec vous ahahah
What time of year did you do this trip?
This was at the end of August/beginning of September. Best time to go. Crowds are gone, not too cold, and we even saw the northern lights.
YaYYYYYYYY!
See you next week in New Zealand :)
We just booked our Happy Camper 3 for next May (so excited). Curious to know about top bunk. Marie, if you had to sleep up there, would it be too tight? My friend is about your size, and she's concerned. Any tips on things to bring with us to make the camper more organized/convenient? (clotheslines, etc). Our first time ever in a camper van, so we are newbies! Can't wait!
PS. We're both 64, not as nimble as we used to be :-)
Tell us how your trip is going.
And please say hi to the team for us. The word “Sagas” in our brand comes from over there!
@@vanlifesagas I will! May 2022!
What about Australia?
Oh we're on it! Can't wait to make it there one day. Any recommendations on places to visit?
:-)
Thanks Marcus!
