Amazing Iceland. Puffins, Reykjavik food tour, waterfalls. What spoils it?

Keen to see Puffins and the volcanic Iceland scenery, our ‪@nextleveloz‬ Iceland trip is stopped in its tracks as Paula succumbs to illness and sea sickness - on land. Is our Iceland trip over? Tune in for our tips on tackling sea sickness and see if we still get to do any of our planned Iceland tours and activities.
You asked and we've answered with our tips on dealing with sea sickness, sea sickness prevention measures and treatment and how to limit the impact on polar voyage bucket list trips. Let us know in the comments how your tips for dealing with travel sickness.
Watch this combined travel vlog and trip coverage and give us your views in the comments.
We disembark from the North Pole expedition icebreaker cruise ship Le Commandant Charcot. Despite fatigue - and Paula's woozy land legs - we head out on a fast boat Puffin Tour, tackle some of the food offerings of a fun ‪@WakeUpReykjavik.‬ food tour - Fermented Shark any body? And David heads to Reykjavik Roasters in search of a decent flat white coffee.
Paula hits a wall and spends the rest of our Reykjavik stopover in bed at our Hotel Reykjavik Centrum, while David makes the most of a bad lot and does a full day South Coast tour of Iceland. Check it out for more Puffins, Black sand volcanic beaches, and he gets a drenching from the torrential waterfalls of South Coast Iceland, #skogafoss #seljalandsfoss #blacksandbeach
We're David and Paula and like many people we've worked hard for 40 years. so we took a gap year from work and did a Big Lap of Australia, which changed our life and outlook. Join us as we work out the balance and the next chapters of our future and travel and options. How much more big travel in our van and how many other bucket list items can we fit in? We don't know but let's find out.
We aren't influencers or professional content creators, we don't have sponsors and 100% of our KZbin ad revenue goes to charity.
In this new @nextleveloz series, following our life changing Big Lap of Australia in our van, we are trying to find the right life balance and the best mix between the Oz van travel that we love and ticking off some iconic, overseas bucket list designations.
Our Gap Year just got that bit longer.

And please also share with other friends and don't forget, constructive comments and shares are very, very welcome.
And don't worry we will be back in the van soon! We love the Oz travel so much. We just can't decide the right mix right now. But for now, enjoy this epic journey to the Arctic polar region.

The Puffins are adorable, almost don’t look real!! Great photos of them.

[@nextleveloz]

They are! Long lens and lightroom. The ones from the fast boat took a bit of work but were close enough and they almost look like they’ve been pasted in. The ones at Black Sand Beach were a bit too far away for my lens especially vid. The one from the alternative location were really close and those photos were really pleasing. But yeaswhen you can get them sharp enough those colours pop out. They really are quite interesting birds. They spend the entire winter at sea and they come back to the same nesting spot every year - and regrettably their food is running out in those locations. We were surprised how many there were though. Thanks for watching as always. 🙏.

That is one impressive water fall! I can see that your still photos are very high quality. Thanks for the video.

[@nextleveloz]

They do waterfalls well in Iceland that’s for sure. If I had my time over I’d have done a different tour. When we booked we hadn’t realised how much we’d seen ice and coast etc and some waterfalls on the North Pole and Greenland adventure. So Id do the inland Golden Circle type tours with more volcanic activity. Still good. Some of the photos turned out really well. I just have to sort out the gems now. Thanks again and stay well.

What a outstanding holiday. Thank you

[@nextleveloz]

Its been an amazing holiday overall. We’d like to go back to Iceland. regrettably Paula didn’t get to enjoy the stopover as much. All the best.

Good on you Paula. Didn't come across as being so bad. Always a smile on your face. I also suffer badly and have yet to get anything good from my GP. Nasty experience whilst whale shark swimming off Exmouth ;(

[@nextleveloz]

❤Thank you. Put on a brave face for the Puffin and food tour and didn’t eat much on either the North Pole tour or in Iceland , the medication helped but of course it fatigues you as well. I hit a real wall on the second day at Reykjavik and sat out the rest of the trip. Sorry you get it also, at least my Whale Shark experience was fine from a sea sickness perspective - I just lack confidence in the deep water (go figure I still did that, snorkeled with turtles and of course don’t mention the polar plunge 🙄🤣. But I always try to make the most of it. Thanks for sharing and the kind comment. ❤ Paula

What an interesting country 😊

[@nextleveloz]

@@dianafraser6915 So true! It is an interesting country. Settled by Vikings, Danish territory, independence didn’t come until WW2. Was a stopover base by the Americans along with some remote parts of Greenland as part of moving aircraft and men from eastern USA to the UK. The language is closer to old Norse’s than any of the Nordic countries. Volcanos beside glaciers. Effectively was broke when its major financial institutions defaulted during the GFC. Uses its geothermal volacanic activity to power the place - relatively cheaply. Stunningly beautiful, puffins, whales. A complete curiosity. We’d like to go back sometime and do their version of the Lap. It will habe to wait for a while now though . Thanks for watching.

[@dianafraser6915]

@@nextleveloz thank you for all that background detail. Iceland and Greenland certainly are fascinating countries.
