A Journey of Uncertainty and Surprise! Getting Home from Seydisfjordur in Eastern Iceland...

[@DUD751]

Hands up who loves steve 🙌🙌

[@KieranKelly-o9s]

His posts are an absolute pleasure

[@gilwilson6405]

Well done

[@isking1715]

I've not met the man so I'm not declaring love for him. 😂😂😂 I do love his videos though so ✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋ from me. ❤❤

[@Sujowi]

🙌

[@BB49.]

I do not know him personally, so love is a bit strong, but like yes very much, though I do love his videos👍

[@gdwnet]

Awesome video and Steve looked dead on that flight out of Stanstead but one thing I will always respect about him is no matter how tired he is he is always polite to the staff.

[@Sujowi]

Too tired to be cranky!

[@NeungView]

How do you know?

[@gdwnet]

@@NeungView It's in the video.

[@jameshay884]

That’s because he is a highly civilized, and thus civil, human being. God bless him!

[@1974beats]

I have an idea for your videos Steve ….DON’T CHANGE A BLOODY THING!!!! Best thing on the internet for me right now. Whenever I watch this channel it takes me straight to my happy place! before I’d realised it I’d been watching it today for about 3hours!!! My favourites are the colder places but they are all fantastic mate! Please don’t stop anytime soon. Just wish I had the courage to go do what you do. Take care and be safe. …. And to echo some of the comments below also, I’m a proud Englishman and whenever I have been in a different land I have ALWAYS been polite and respectful when in other peoples countries! This is a must as you are an ambassador for the UK when abroad. You sir are a credit to the UK and an even bigger credit to Scotland

[@larrysorenson4789]

As a just 9 year old kid my parents put me on a train in southern Ohio and sent me to Northern Wisconsin. The trip included changing trains and train stations in Chicago. There was a 6 hour wait over night at Chicago. I was the only person in the station. A janitor asked me why I was there. He asked if I had any food that day and I said no. He went into a closed restaurant, turned on the equipment and made me a burger, fries and a coke. Then he got pillows and a blanket and made me a bed on the wooden bench. He told me that he would wake me up for the train to Grandmas. He put me on the train and several hours later I was in Rhinelander. I walked to grandmas house and had a delicious turkey sandwich on fresh baked bread. The best ever. Miss you grams. ❤️

[@KrisKk08]

Yes Americans we know where Wisconsin and Ohio are, but why don’t you ever write the USA like the rest of the world does when explaining your locality/country? Every single one of you do this. My theory is the country is so big, not many with passports (only 40%) and not many internationally well travelled Americans so you don’t know much outside your own borders hence you only mention the state assuming the entire WORLD knows your states…I wonder do you know all of Australias states or Canadas provinces..? It’s fascinating.

[@larrysorenson4789]

@ it’s an interesting story of my youth. I thought I’d share it. I’m sorry that you created something there to be offended about. But in reality my only interaction with Australia has been to thank your fighters for their coordinated invasion of Southern New Guinea along with parts of the US Air force under a General Kennedy and a naval force headed by General MacArthur. If it was not for their participation we might have lost the battle for control of Lae where my dad was trying to make runways for B-24 bombers out of sand and seaweed.

[@MrGreatplum]

Amazing story, Larry. How long ago was this?

[@larrysorenson4789]

@ 1957. Different world.

[@conkavanagh4342]

What an amazing story, a different world is right, got to spend a summer in Chicago in 2004 and we used a Greyhound to Memphis , on the way back a girl only about 12 got off the bus in the middle of the night at the terminus in Downtown Chicago with us and went about her way in the dead of the night, I could not believe it and was shocked, we were about 21 and there 3 of us, hello from Dublin @larrysorenson4789

[@mtaylor766]

I am Icelandic, and have to say having seen your other amazing videos, you are a legend. Had I known you were in Reykjavík I would taken you round the place 😊 hope you caught up on that sleep. Sjáumst síðar

[@SimonLiddo]

“Oh look there’s a human”! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@spidyman8853]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@wheatnblue2419]

I burst out laughing at that one. Hilarious!

[@EtherealSunset]

That made me chuckle 😂

[@newblueroxie]

😅😅😅😅

[@donbeaton5184]

Are used to love travelling

[@harryjones5260]

if all airports were that quiet, everyone would want to fly

[@rogerstone3068]

...and then they would be quite crowded, so no-one would want to fly, and they'd be...

[@georgenorris2657]

But the problem is everyone DOES want to fly and they DO. A lot!!

[@tomarmstrong1281]

To my mind those who live in remote small towns in Iceland deserve a medal.

[@benitoherrero3895]

a golden medal

[@viccol89]

So glad your night of lingering wasn’t a waste! The Northern lights are just incredible. Another great video thanks Steve!

[@flerphead]

I'm so glad this channel exists

[@oppa-e1l]

All this stress, tiredness,planning,thinking and spending and all this travelling just so we can have a relaxing experience watching you putting up with, what must seem like hell sometimes for you, thanks steve much appreciated. 😊

[@pontecarlo4354]

That was a great video. I’ve really enjoyed watching you on this journey. Thanks for taking the pain. I would have gone to the airport as well. At least you’re there and it’s one less thing to go wrong.

[@curtbonnell4308]

Oh Steve, how you suffer for our enjoyment, it is so appreciated. You looked sooooooo tired and I bet you slept for hours/days after you finally got home.

[@steve-marsh]

You know it! 🤣

[@PeterMuchowski]

The Greatest Travel Man Steve Marsh!!! Great Respect!!!

[@tariq3587]

You are really the only genuine, & honest travel channel that shows, &. says like it is - no nonsense & unnecessary music that typically adds cheapness to these videos. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@smartcookiesam4280]

Happiness is sitting down with a coffee on a day off and seeing a wee midweek bonus video popping up from Steve. Especially when it’s of Iceland! 🇮🇸 my last visit was pre pandemic with my family and we stayed in an apartment near the Hallgrimskirkja. Watching you trying to keep awake at Keflavik reminded me of the time I had a layover there on the way back from Edmonton and dozed off in the departure lounge. I was so embarrassed when my name was called out on the tannoy and I nearly missed my flight back to Manchester.

[@steve-marsh]

Haha a rude awakening indeed! :D

[@123seanaway]

Brilliant!! Thoroughly enjoyed every second of that whole trip..thank you for making such entertaining informative videos..

[@warriorpoet9629]

Greetings from Australia. Love your vids mate. They make me happy. Been to Scotland many times. Gods country. And….i have 70% Scottish dna…. I love the way you show us just how great travel can be done on a modest budget. You make these wonderful places accessible for us. Keep it up.

[@peterjhillier7659]

Hell's Teeth Steve, there's got to be easier ways of making a living, gey wonderful travellogvideo thank you for sharing.

[@ticketyboo6435]

I’m so glad you done that journey so I don’t have to 🤣🤣 That was hardcore.

[@denominator208]

As an Icelander, thank you for the trip! I've never been to Seyðisfjörður so it was nice to experience it here.

[@browneyedcarney]

Steve, you're hilarious when you're knackered! This video wàs brilliant!

[@gavinhagan8357]

Absolutely epic my friend. I really hope you give your body a chance to recover or it will make you pay. Please rest as we need your content. Love From Australia.

[@susantomes6721]

I absolutely love this man’s channel❤

[@TheUluxian]

I flew on 2 Icelandair flights last year. ABSOLUTELY the smoothest landings I have ever experienced in 60+ years of travelling. The staff were amazing. Would definitely fly with them again.

[@edwardsbarbara25]

Great that you walk everywhere! Amd, the northern lights were gorgeous!! What a treat!

[@randallgvideos]

Northern lights are always in the sky there. Problem is you can't see them most of the time due to overcast!

[@chrishintz1077]

That was rough trip. But it beats being stuck in a Lithuanian forest in the middle of the night. ;). I’ll never forget that one! Steve, you’re always such a comfort and escape. Even just the sound of your voice. Much appreciated. And now my epic poem: pizza, pizza, everywhere. And not a drop to drink. ;)

[@steve-marsh]

Haha well remembered - I was trying to forget :D

[@SGtravelsEU]

oh, I will be there in January and I was thinking about walking and recording the entire way during daylight just to record what it would be if there wasn't a guy with a car stopping there ....

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Personally, if there's nothing to do in the city at night, I'd head for the airport and waste time there. At least the uncertainty of the airport bus is no longer on my mind. I'm really enjoying this series of videos.

[@steve-marsh]

You can't beat finding an obscure empty airport! :)

[@DinoExMachina]

The Charlotte airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA has rocking chairs. It is great to watch planes go by while rocking and relaxing. Another great video, Steve.

[@ervinvice1521]

The airport in Charlotte, NC has a lot of rocking chairs.

[@lorettaray8317]

It's the only airport where I have seen rocking chairs. A sweet surprise.

[@newenglandlight8724]

Boston's Logan also has rocking chairs.

[@joe-uu5tn]

Huge thanks for posting these videos.

[@davidsingleton1371]

Excellent mini series Takes a lot of planning and some bravery that

[@VoltesWithElias]

No jumping over cars on motorbikes! Made me laugh. Another great video Steve.

[@kudzumoose3861]

You make me tired just watching you. Thank you for the adventure.

[@JodieMiners]

Thank you so much for showing every aspect of this epic journey. You have convinced me that me deciding not to do it is the best decision. Your absolute tenacity to just keep on going, is amazing and I just love watching your videos.

[@bendavis6347]

This trip was an epic. Steve deserves a medal for the hanging around and sleep deprivation on that one. And I guess all the pizzas balance out against the steps he’s doing. That deserted airport in Iceland , the laps in the small hours around the main airport .. compulsive viewing this !

[@Graeme.raider.Walsh.29]

What an epic journey.

[@RichardFelstead1949]

A mid week surprise. Thanks Steve. All the best from Australia.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Richard!

[@petersp63]

I'm tired just watching great video!

[@amytih47]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 A Steve video - best accompaniment to my morning coffee.

[@jackoneil3933]

Always a joy traveling with you Steve. Big Thanks!

[@suchcone]

I loved this video and indeed this mini series. Iceland always feels magical to me, it's so very special.

[@randallgvideos]

Just about my favourite place. I tell my friends to stop for a few days in Reykjavik on their way home when they visit Europe.

[@Glennwith2ns50]

Dear Steve I love your videos, you looked shattered in that Iceland video, keep it up…..

[@aisl6190]

Love that you got Northern Lights...would have been worth it for staying up all night...think you made the right choice.

[@sowitandhopeitgrows]

Just what I needed.... A 'date' with Steve's antics somewhere! Thank you

[@PaulinAsia_]

I am enjoying your spontaneous humour to situations. You are one of my favourite vloggers now. Cheers.

[@steve-marsh]

Thank you :)

[@rmartin147]

The floodlit/ light detailed Hallgrímskirja is such a magnificent sight. 🤩 One of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. Your Northern Lights photos were very impressive as well Steve.

[@ellenriddick2461]

I love the sound of engines spooling.

[@Birdie252]

Thanks Steve for doing the hard work for us !,❤

[@winnie4609]

I’m exhausted watching you Steve. 😂

[@amtrakharry]

Talk about taking one for the team/us Steve...😇😇😇Talk about taking "nothing" and making it in to something totally enjoyable to watch... Can't wait for your next video Steve...😃😃😃

[@Watfordherts]

Quality video fella , love your trips cheers from England with a Scottish wife from lochelly

[@EXPLORINGWITHMEDAVE]

Great steve and yes i know what its like to stay up for hours wile traveling, all part of the fun.

[@valeriereynolds2799]

You deserve a medal for that trip..

[@Rabi_tours]

One heck of a journey.

[@YanLiktor-v8t]

Always a good day when a new video drops from Steve! Time for a cuppa and a watch.

[@craigmccamley]

Ooooft! That looked brutal buddy.

[@richardkeeler2347]

You have my upmost respect Steve,theres no way i could do what you do ,great vids

[@WilliamStevens007]

This is and will be the best viewing on KZbin Steve. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@SimonLiddo]

Our intrepid explorer does it again! Essential viewing. Loving your work Steve 😊

[@spymaine89]

i agree. but why? ...............persona;ity. a mystery?............

[@jessebrettjames]

You've been blessed by the weather mate

[@Craig_Stewart]

This is you at your best. This has been an epic trip. Well done, Steve. Onwards to the next adventure 👍

[@davidcollins7123]

Steve, your videos tell us what its really like to travel, Thankyou so much.

[@bobbiguile9210]

Im working my way through all your videos, and loving every one of them. Love your lady to bits, definitely makes your videos more interesting. ❤

[@steve-marsh]

So true, she's a star :)

[@edwinbetts5927]

At 83 I’ve done traveling but I sure do enjoy traveling with you. G,day from Thailand.

[@horsehollerer]

As someone who didn't have to go through any of the tough parts, but got to see all the amazing stuff vicariously through your brilliant vlogging, I have to say this trip was extremely worthwhile 🤣. Many thanks for taking us with you! 💯

[@dannyone1565]

Yay!! Midweek video for Steve 😊

[@adamliebreich-johnsen6104]

Even nearly £300 for that airport hotel would have been justifiable for me if I were that tired. You gotta take care of yourself, man!

[@johnburke5384]

The things you do for us ! Excellent video Steve, I can imagine you getting home making a cup of tea, sitting down in the warm and thinking, I`m never doing that again...for all of 10 minutes !

[@7cColin]

Love watching a Scotsman suffering long and tedious journeys, I have done many of them in my time and share your agony when I watch your channel (yes I'm Scottish too). Another great video, thanks Steve! 😃

[@irenedavo3768]

Is this a Holiday?

[@tonyharpur8383]

I love the shots of 'Steve Marsh Waiting...and Waiting...' 😄

[@jenniferkirkland1002]

Thanks for showing the hard parts- planes trains and automobiles!

[@BethanyLloyd-h6t]

wow , what a journey, my son went to Iceland at the beginning of January this year for 4 days , he loved the countryside there , many thanks , linda .

[@JohnResalb]

For Steve's viewers - it's recommendable to do all that north Atlantic trip as near as possible to mid summer. It's not just a question of weather - there's something else - bright all night.!!!! Officially, only the very north of Iceland is within the artic circle, but the area that our Steve is covering - you'll have more than enough light to keep you active 24 hours a day (if you felt so inclined).

[@Swiftkai-zz1es]

What an amazing trip! Thanks for the sightseeing!

[@MrPhantom1961]

Steve, I really felt for you. Exactly like me, I can't stand waiting around. That wait at Keflavik Airport would have done me in. Continue making your videos real, warts and all. Far better than any glossy travelogue.

[@captainkaos7696]

Bless, you look so tired on the plane, thanks for taking us on your epic journey

[@k.r.baylor8825]

It is nice "traveling" with a person who can pack an entire trip into a backpack. I have yet to learn that useful trick; I'm usually at 40 lbs despite my best efforts in a big rolling red suitcase. Another excellent video, Steve. I have made that lonely, cold journey across nations before, consuming hours of boredom. Traveling vicariously through your channel makes the travel experience so much more confident and timely, sandwiching it all into a 34-min vid. "Garage food." I just learned a new phrase. Cheers from Virginia, USA.

[@susanashcroft2674]

Hats off to you Steve and may be I would have in my younger years but I couldn't have waited round in that airport in the cold and small hours for all that time. That and your tight connection from Stansted to Edinburgh looked brutal. 👏👏

[@steve-marsh]

I was SURE I'd miss my connection!

[@takeontravel9076]

Steve you have a great sense of direction. Walking out of the airport, eating and getting back with time to spare.

[@travellingmusician2380]

I believe the road from Seydisfjordur to Egilsstadir is paved now so much less bumpy than when I worked in the region in the 1990s when it was basically a dirt track covered by ice a lot of the time. I remember arriving at Egilsstadir airport one evening to find that the road to Seydisfjordur was closed, blocked by snow. The bus took us up the road until it got stuck in the snow. Then we waited for a snowcat vehicle driven by the local mountain rescue team to arrive which took us over the summit through the snow drifts and down to the village. Quite an adventure!

[@robineasby5328]

Great video Steve. Pleased you had a nap before driving home. You looked knackered ! Thank you for all your efforts in bringing us these epic vlogs.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh interesting!

[@johnland5042]

Quite amazing Steve. I don't know how you do it. Such long hours and so much walking. I'm tired just watching it. But I do enjoy every minute. Can't wait for the next one! Thank you!!

[@kieronheath4813]

Another epic adventure, Steve! Many thanks indeed... 🙏👍

[@louisel.sinniger2057]

Steve, no thank you..Good lord man get some rest! You don’t want to be getting sick! Love your channel

[@steve-marsh]

Haha I've scheduled in the rest of November to put my feet up and just edit edit edit :)

[@davidwood4892]

Another epic journey Steve....I hope you enjoyed your sleep when you got home.

[@trishahext1797]

I’m exhausted…. watching from the comfort of my sofa and feel like I haven’t slept for 30+ hrs as well! Really enjoyed everything about the ferry and Iceland… the flights, hanging around and stressful transfers - not so much. I’m a new follower so will check out your earlier vids. Hope you had a good rest!

[@louisecreaton1443]

Thank you Steve, have a good rest

[@paulwheeler4283]

Love you Steve you are one incredible gentleman thank you for making this journey I know it's been a beautiful one

[@sirjmcthegreat5958]

Amazing trip Steve. Thank you 🙏🙏

[@lesleygascoyne7428]

I felt knackered just watching you Steve. Good job 😅

[@ZengoMay]

Your logic regarding whether a hotel is needed or not, with an early morning flight, is same as mine; put up with the inconvenience if you’re saving money. 😊

[@rosemarymee]

@@ZengoMay I would rather spend the money on a hotel than end up feeling and looking like a zombie. Fine when you’re in your twenties and thirties - you soon bounce back. Once you’re into your forties and beyond, you lack the same resilience . It gets monotonous to watch as well.

[@andreamallon3062]

Jeez, you look knackered!! You're a die hard, cheers for the video 😊

[@telecasterbear]

I love the sleepy airport with the caribou keeping watch. Iceland, land of the best jumpers.

[@sarahkay7689]

Love watching your videos, the places and views are amazing 😊 sending greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@capricorn839]

Glad that you made it home after a tiring journey 😘😊

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Steve, you look absolutely shattered on that flight to London. Nice shots of the Northern Lights, though. I’m glad that there’s one more video in this series. You’re a legend. Cheers, and ATB!

[@davidhand5538]

Hi Steve, when I was a soldier I spent all of 1967 near Hofn, south of where you were at. A very lovely, stark part of the island. The glacier looks larger now. We saw no tourists that year. Don’t be misled many of us in that part of the world are overjoyed!

[@kevinsingh8241]

Thanks for this Steve .Made my week better!!!!!

[@tynovel]

You're a trooper. Doing an all nighter just to catch a flight back to, not Glasgow or Edinburgh but London! Thanks for showing us the journey!

[@mouselovinlady]

I hope you had that nap Steve! No-one wants to share the road with someone who’s been awake for 32 hours!

[@steve-marsh]

Indeed I did

[@mouselovinlady]

@ good lad. This is one of those videos that helps me get my envy of your lifestyle into perspective! 😁

[@JohnResalb]

Good to check the layout of the airport first, and walk back to town, then you know the return walk route, and also how long it takes to get back. Well done.
