Iceland in the winter.
The Reykjavík peninsula, being warmed up by the Gulf stream, is the warmest place in the whole country and during winters it hardly gets lasting snow. The rest of the country, however, is quite different and far as winter travelling in the countryside goes you'd better be a) experienced in driving on snowy, icy roads and b) have a jeep.
Therefore today's entry is for winter in Iceland, and the people living through it once a year!
Wow. Just wow. So beautiful! Also, fuzzy ponies = love.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd be terrified to drive in that. Scaaaaaaaaary.
Jeeps are the answer. Or just staying in Reykjavík for the winter and avoiding the highland roads at all costs. :D
ReplyDeleteBut... but... the ponies are not in the city!
ReplyDeleteI almost want to be there. Almost. I don't think I've ever been anyplace so cold ever in my life and I kind of doubt I'd handle it well. (read: I'd whine to the point where someone throttles me to shut me up, and leaves my body buried under a snowdrift) And I'm tragically uncute in an ear-flap hat.
There are horses near enough the city! :D And there are services that take you from the city to them all year 'round. Icelanders do know what the tourists like, ohh yeeees.
ReplyDeleteYou get tourists in the winter? Oooh. Flying pace looks so. much. fun. And in the snow maybe it wouldn't hurt so much when I fall....
ReplyDeleteBut then there's the cold thing. Hmm.
Nah, the horses are so tiny you'd not hurt yourself by falling off them no matter the season. :D Iceland gets more tourists in the summer, true, but winter is also a good season.
ReplyDeleteYou underestimate my ability to hurt myself. XD
