Traveling in Iceland.

The four hour plane ride from Boston to Reykjavik was just the beginning of my transportation experiences on this dialogue. As I’ve mentioned before, my group spent the first six days spending most of our time in and out of our bus. Thankfully the vehicle was incredibly roomy for the 19 of us. We also traveled by boat on some days, such as when we went on a whale watch in Husavik and when we went out on a boat in the bay to celebrate Fisherman’s Day. Now that we have settled in Skagaströnd, we have the capability to walk to studio and all around town without worrying about transportation.

Although almost everyone has their own car in Iceland, there is a public bus system. Unfortunately most cities are located hours apart and a bus stops in a specific town only once or twice a day. If I wanted to visit a town close by, I would have to call in advance to arrange for the bus to pick me up in Skagaströnd. I feel very fortunate that I have seen so much of the country already and that I don’t need to count on public transportation for the next few weeks. After living in Boston for three years, I am happy to walk!
