September Iceland 九月冰島


We landed in Reykjavik and then went to pick up a rental car. This trip was a driving trip. We drove from south to north to complete the ring circle of Iceland.

Too many places wanted to cover, but too little time. We covered only the major places and activities: Blue lagoon, boating, iceberg climbing, ice cave, lave cave, beach, waterfalls, glaciers, fall color, etc.

Iceland takes most credit cards. Cash like USD dollars is not acceptable. The whole trip I have not exchanged for a penny. I used credit cards. I recommended using the Costco Visa credit card, with no additional fee.


The three biggest supermarkets you can get groceries are Bonus, Kronan, and Netto. Some of the N1 gas stations store some groceries as well. The N1 gas station offers a free air pump and helper. The helper (worker) even refused to take tips after pumping the deflation tire we had. He answered back, "This is my job."

Overall, all the people I met during my trip were friendly, patient, and layback. The weather in September is around 38-50 F degrees, cloudy, with some rain. As a nature lover, I would love to go back to visit Iceland again.

Interesting. On a rainy day, the ice stands out its color the most. Perhaps it was cold that day but worth going on a boat tour.

In the past when I see a photo similar to the one below, I thought it much be artificial, not natural. Since these photos were from my camera, now I truly witness the power of the beauty of nature.
