It was like the magic for the first time when you saw this huge amazing waterfall, there was a little long walk before seeing this awesome waterfall. It's like you are about to go somewhere and suddenly this huge waterfall just shows up in front of you. It was like a real magic, so beautiful...

The real meditation 🚌🏞💙 #nonorthernli

this huge waterfall seems so powerful, you can see how powerful it is even you are far away from the entrance of the gate. While you walk beside of the Gullfoss, the sounds of the waterfall is about to cheer up your chest to stay calm. It is loud but calm your mind.

This waterfall is seriously cool. You can walk through behind the waterfall and be ready to get wet as well but hey it was worth it... : )

It was more than just a dream comes true..

The waterfall looked unreal.. as I walked in I felt like "Is this real, does my dream come true????"

It was my huge REAL dream comes TRUE..

I left with no words but full of happiness in my chest ... lovely.

After finished walking, we were having lunch and drove mile away looking for somewhere for the night. It is kinda fun that every night we gotta find a place to stay our camping cars and stay over. It's so many different places where you can drive around and stop your car. They have enough camping place for you to stand your car and they even offer kitchen, washing machine, and the bath.

As we stopped our cars here it was already dark and we couldn't see so much things.. I just heard the sound of the huge water fall but couldn't see it clearly.. but in the morning as I opened the door to walk out of the car I just saw a hugeeeeee lovely waterfall that it's kind of famous because it was on Justin Bieber's Music video..

We went for hiking, walked up to the hill and took a long walk.. during our long walking, nearby it's a huge waterfall along the way up there.. Iceland is crazy beautiful.. really crazy..

I couldn't take my eyes away from the thing in front of me... If my eyes were a camera, my photos would probably only the photos of Icelandic Landscape.. what an amazing Land..

I have never ever seen any countries madly beautiful like Iceland before.. I love you so much Iceland! I Love you!!

It was windy as hell.. really.. so windy.. you couldn't walk straight through the wind, as me and my friends walked straight to the black sand beach, we had to turn around and walk backward hahaha it was like your face just being hit by the wind and you gotta fight it with your back.. haha and most important thing.. Please.. I warn you that you have to wear as much clothes you could put them on.. because the wind could get through your jacket.. I wear two or three jumpers and two jackets as I walked out of the car hahahaha

as you can see human look so tiny to our planet.. I love how we have a chance to see things differently while we are traveling... It's not just dress well and get drunk with empty soul, I want to be a kid in human body which you are allowed yourself to do what you love to do, fully living your life.

You can't really trust so much about the weather in Iceland, it can change in 2 minutes from raining to sunny and sometime from sunny to snowing plus the storm, by the storm I mean you have to stop your car.. Yes, STOP YOUR CAR. Park it somewhere.. I have filmed a video how the storm is in Iceland.

the storm is about to hit...

but before the storm hit us it was so beautiful the view looks unreal..

It is really expensive in Iceland, like it's gonna be much better for you to cook your own meals..

It was like 80 Euro for Orange juice and a plate of fish dish. But it was delicious tho.. hahaha

The arctic tour was so cold, the weather seemed so nice in the picture but it was so cold.. it freezed our feet. I couldn't feel my feet during the tour. And bad luck we didn't see any whales.. hahaha but the tour wasn't guarantee at first that we were going to see the whale or not, it is kind of out of hands.. it pretends on luck.. but yeah at least we have been in the middle of the arctic sea ain't it??

We were not even regret it though. hahaha

   I ain't sure how much did we pay for parking the cars here but as I could remember it was so cheap, we had paid about 10 Euro per Person.. to enjoy this view..

  Can you imagine? The whole view is just for 10 Euro???

That night, this place had owned by us.. hahaha it was just only us that stayed there.. The hot pool outside with the sea view cover by snow.. damnnnn it was so worth it to spend your money on adventure..

It was like few day before we came back to Austria and the only thing we want to see is the northern lights, we were feeling unlucky because the waitress at the restuarant told us that tonight it seems impossible.. but yeah after around 10 pm we walked back to the cars, our drivers were so drunk they just had too much beers hahaha

IMG_3276.JPG

As we all ladies stayed in the another cars, we had noticed that there was another car near us, and they tried to clean the window.. it was like around 11pm till Midnight I guess.. and someone just shouted out of the window and asked us if we were Thai and we immediately said "YESSSS" back, they asked us to follow their cars to drive a bit away to see the northern lights together but we couldn't because our drivers were drunk. So they let us jump into their car and it was like 7-8 People included us haha don't do this guys. it's actually not allowed here..

And luckily as we drove away with them to see the northern lights, they told us after few minutes that the Northern lights was about to show up there. It was like a magic.. They looked like paintings.. Our biggest goal have achieved.. finally.. it was only one thing we had waited for..

This was only one photo group that we have during our trip in Iceland. I'm really happy to have this kind of friends arounf me. To support each other, to lifts each other up when one other feel down. And as important as the friendship is "distance". We don't go that deep or that much about our private life, you can be as close as you want but the distance is also as important as friendship. That is what I love about us the most. I couldn't wait and seriously so ready to go an adventure with them for more and more! It ain't easy to have these kind of friends where you can traveling around the world with. I'm such a lucky kid tho. 

IMG_3390.JPG

Most of time we cooked the meals during our road trip by ourselves and my favourite one of grilled dish is grilled mushroom, it was so delicious!!! : )

IMG_3420.JPG
IMG_3423.JPG

It was like the last day of being in Icelnad and guess what? 

Our flights got cancelled... The e-mail that we had received was telling us that our next flight is on the next 5-6 days... so and the next day we had to give the cars back and we were really mad because of the call centre didn't work, obviously no one gonna pick up the phone because they (pilots) struck.. And the airline just let us out of nowhere. 

  We decide to buy the new ticket back to Austria and the next few day I got a flight to Berlin.. It was such a mess that day and I don't want to mention this airline again.. but since then I never ever fly with them again. L..

IMG_3525.JPG

most of people who is leaving Iceland look tired... you can barely see how tired we are here on the flight back home, Iceland is pretty much like a huge dream world for us adults who loves adventure.. Damn Icaland I'm sure that I'm going back to you again one day.. Love !
