Iceland, and Reykjavik in particular, is extremely pedestrian and cycling friendly, with a large network of paths and lanes that allow you to reach virtually anywhere. The people are welcoming and friendly, always ready to be of help or to have a chat. Surely we’ll have to come back for some serious hiking. Although I wouldn’t live here – too rainy – it’s a great place to wander around.
NOTE ON KEFLAVIK AIRPORT – worst airport to sleep so far: metal chairs with armrests for each seat, not noisy but far too bright. Totally uncomfortable.
Airports should have hostel-like accomodation for overnight passengers, or even just a section with long chairs, even for a price, so people waiting for early morning flights could get a few hours sleep.
NOTE TO SELF – bad choice of clothing… I concentrated on weight alone, but I should have also considered location and situation – days in town and driving around, instead I only brought hiking clothes (and heavy hiking boots)…
