Is the Wind in Iceland Really that Bad? // RVing Iceland (Part 4)

[@kenkizer2206]

12123 in Icelandic Krona, That is $85.95 in U.S and 38.88 liters is 10.271 gallons. 8.36/ gallon

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks!! So pretty good guess

[@backintime1524]

Good thing it wasn't Swedish Krona. At $0.089 to 1, that would have been $1077.71

[@anniedew2592]

😮

[@conniemckenzie7801]

What a fantastic education your children are receiving. First hand experiences..

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

They are so lucky to be able to experience this!

[@conniemckenzie7801]

@LessJunkMoreJourney Indeed!

[@charlenecastaldo3602]

Wow! Diamond Beach! Stunning... The kids running and laughing is the best. ❤ Thanks Moss Family.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It truly is a special place! They really enjoyed it

[@scottfahrer7515]

Great meeting you both today.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We're glad we got to meet you too!

[@tinbarnranch]

Just when I think you can't possibly get more Epic......you do! WOW!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I wish we could take credit, but this place was just stunning at every turn!

[@annamaybeekman]

WHAT AN AWESOME TRIP OF A LIFETIME IM GLAD YOU WENT WITH CORY AND JESS GOD BLESS LOVE YOU GUYS

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you! It made it extra special sharing this adventure with them

[@dennisoflynn8249]

Thank you for bringing me along for something I never knew was achievable.

[@johnnunya4776]

Living vicariously through you for an adventure we probably won’t do.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

And that's what we can help with - if we can't get you actually there, we hope to at least help you imagine being there through us.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Looks like a really neat trip, if a little cold and windy. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It really is such a stunning place!

[@JulieSlaughter-r8p]

I am so glad you got to witness some of the winds in Iceland. You keep bringing on my memories. Yes, the wind can be strong! We used to have SPs (police) at each bus stop to catch the kids and shove them into the bus huts. Mom took her little Brownie troop on a trip to the BX on base. There were a pair of petite girls that were identical twins, that got caught in the winds and blown down the street. Mom pulled a paper towel box out of a trash can and put all the other girls in it while she chased down the twins, Yep, she did catch up. When the winds blew it was always a 2 or 3 buddy system. Love hearing your stories and I hope your kids come away with the sweetest memories of my favorite home

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh my word! that would have been wild to experience

[@travelingcatphotos]

Wow, Diamond Beach looked AMAZING! And that Viking set! Wow!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That set was soooo cool to see!!

[@susanm8064]

I think the movie that was supposed to be filmed was called “Vikingr.” It ran out of money and then it was sold off to Netflix for “The Witcher.” As I was watching, I realized a spring trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior in MN would lend some similar experiences. Iceland is more mountains and MN is more forest with tall basalt formations. We have a black sand beach in Minnesota up in Silver Bay, which is on Lake Superior. Incredibly beautiful up there. In the winter we can get those same ice formations and more. Sometimes we even get ice caves that you can walk through. Lake Superior is often like the ocean and never freezes except close to the shore area. Because the waves are always roaring, especially in winter, these sheets of ice come crashing on shore and break apart. MN also gets the Northern Lights! They’ve been active the past year or two. Your trip looks beautiful and what a great way to make family memories! Iceland is on our bucket list so it’s great to see your experiences!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It would be so amazing to see your backyard in another country! Keep pursuing that Journey List!!

[@ejs6010]

You continued to have a wonderful journey!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We really did! This area really "blew" us away! 😂😂

[@sherriweber7105]

What a great and fantastic adventure being in all parts of Iceland. Seeing icebergs, beautiful mountains, Diamond Beach. That’s pretty awesome seeing icebergs on the beach and seeing the black sand that was soft. This is for a a great learning experience for the kids. Especially seeing the Viking boat and the buildings. Nice you saw a little bit of Northern lights. I would agree that wind was looking pretty strong..But you all handled it pretty well. Great video! Have a great week and weekend.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It truly is a special place to visit!

[@phillipjgustafson9792]

I just realized that it has been quite a long time since I saw Hensley and her pink boots and there was a time she would go nowhere without them just shows you how much she's growing up on her and JJ y'all have a lot of fun because as much as I'd want to do that my knees and legs just won't let me 🤠😎🤠

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It really has been a long time since the pink boots! Time really flies

[@shelleypoole6415]

Hensley is a carbon copy of her Dad. What a fantastic trip. I vote for Svalbard next!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

She really is!!

[@JustMe-pn6xw]

I found a post from someone whose uncle built the set. No movie name but his uncle said he was called back in 2019 to rebuild the set for a move called Vikingr but that movie shows still in production.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh interesting! We now know that they did film/are filming the prequel to The Witcher series there. Such a cool spot!

[@sallylove3563]

oh my heavens isn't our world so beautiful !!!!!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Every turn we see God's amazing creation! (winds and all!)

[@cindiallain8542]

Hi guys according to my research The Viking Village was used as a filming location for the Netflix series The Witcher: Blood Origin in 2021. It was also used as a set for the movie Vikingr in 2018. Info from Google. Hope it helps. Great video. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is SO cool!

[@deesandiego]

What a education,thank you

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It's been pretty epic and so much to share with them, and you!

[@calledtojourney]

Now I understand why you told us last week that visiting Iceland would "blow us away!" 😅

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It was definitely the perfect play on words!

[@sahmof7]

Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

You're welcome! It was a trip we'll never forget.

From a fellow drone boy who commented on your previous video. When we were in Newfoundland/Labrador I flew those beautiful ice fields In fact I even got a video of a seal hitching a ride inside of an iceberg! Fly on!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh that would be amazing to see!!

[@HollywoodHappenings1]

This wind after going through major wins in Los Angeles that started the fire still burning I'll come back to watch this one

[@jimmcgee3111]

Coming from living in the southwest you learn to park with the front of your vehicle towards the wind. Looks like a fun trip.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I wish we could have!

[@downsizingontenacres.5927]

Incredible. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Glad you liked it!

[@libbyolson]

Did you hear the Northern Lights? We can up by (and north of) Edmonton Alberta. They looked epic there with them ebbing and flowing. Diamond Beach was amazing!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We didn't! It's always on our list to catch that epic - movie like - northern lights every chance we get! It's another reason why we booked the LJMJ Cruise for end of September hoping to grab that perfect season.

Wind is not my favorite part of weather. And I've heard the thing about proper clothing - for me might have to be all heated. I'm cold in Southern Arizona right now - LOL! OH wow on Diamond Beach - your kids will never forget that! Amazing trip & fabulous video :)

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

If you can find something warm and something to break the wind, you can typically be ok - keep your fingers, toes and head warm. 😊

Newfoundland Canada has wind like that. There is a place on the west coast of Newfoundland called the Wreckhouse, the winds have knocked big trucks over.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh my goodness! That must be part of the Ice Truckers show where they show them just blowing away

On Day1 my local rental car company in Iceland told me to ALWAYS park/face INTO the wind. Otherwise your door will be blown out of your hands and possibly break the hinges and swing around and slam into your front fender! Then he offered to sell me bumper to bumper insurance, which I took!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That full insurance! Worth it!

If you can access your credit card account online it will show you the amount in USD. You can then convert liters to gallons and do the math to come up with the amount per gallon.

If you have to ask how much fuel is, you can't afford to RV! I had a friend with a million dollar yacht who was afraid to go anywhere in it because of the coast of fuel. Penny wise and pound foolish whatever that means for sure!!!

The conversion is what tripped us up, so we didn't know what we were spending until it hit the bill in US dollars. We weren't far off on the math.

Is this it ? ... The Viking Village film set is located in southeastern Iceland, near Höfn, not in Reykjavik 1 2 . Built in 2010 on a local farmer's property, this replica Viking village was created for a Universal Studios movie that was ultimately never filmed 1 4 .Key Details: Created in 2010 as a film set Located near Stokksnes Beach and Vestrahorn mountain Visitors can explore the site for a small entrance fee of 800 ISK Features authentic-looking wooden buildings, a dungeon, and detailed Viking-era architecture 1 4 Recent Developments: The village has since been used for other productions, including Netflix's The Witcher: Blood Origin series in 2021 2 7 . Visitors can now explore the meticulously crafted film set, which offers a glimpse into Viking-era architecture and lifestyle

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yep! That's the one. This is Vestrahorn Mountain (where you see the loose sand going over halfway up the mountain sides). It's pretty epic and also wild to think the film never happened but so cool they left it there and now other things can be filmed there too.
