Hi, and welcome to the latest instalment from our Icelandic road trip this is part 6
and we're heading west, to the northwest, and I really hope you like what we put together here

Now, let's take a look at the entire route for this road trip, spread over 11 nights with 9 stopovers
and the aim of our video is to show you what you might see and to provide you with inspiration for your own road trip
as well as some handy hints and tips, well I hope they're handy
and so you know this was filmed in mid-march
and today's route will take us from Laugarbakki to Arnarstapi, apologies for the pronunciation
So, without further ado, let's hit the road and head west
and our first stop is a small fishing town we quite like the look of and then we got a little surprise
Look at this little cutie, it turns out it's one of a pair rescued from an uncertain future
and we're glad they did aren't they just beautiful
Okay, that's enough of the seals, it's time to hit the road again
and today we'll be heading off of Route 1 and onto Route 54 for the majority of the journey
and if it's not one cute creature, it's another
these wonderful Icelandic horses
obviously inquisitive, and probably hoping we've got a treat for them
but being responsible tourists we don't offer them any treats
I know by, Bah-Humbug
they soon tire of us and then go on to perform this unusual ritual
and yet despite this, we still have nothing for them
Now, this part of Iceland is incredibly peaceful
and the Snæfellsnes peninsula is a wonderful place to visit, and easily part of an alternate route from Reykjavik
If you've watched any of the other videos in this series, you know I bang about parking on verges; well this is why
This little brown patch wasn't brown when I pulled over it, but I suddenly felt the car give way
We stopped this beautiful location and decided it was the right place to take up the drone
Now I love a drone, and I love the unique perspective you can give you
on a location especially one as beautiful as Iceland
However, there is a problem. Drones don't like heavy winds, so take a lot of care when preparing to fly
So our journey was about discovery, and this town wasn't strictly on our route but
do you know what, we decided to check it out, charming and it had public conveniences
quite useful for your planning of a road trip
And I love this piece of work, reminded me that Iceland is a seafaring nation
but we're back on the road again, and once again one of these signs to remind you to keep right over blind brows
and once again another unique landscape
what appears to be large chunks of pumice, probably from an earlier volcanic eruption
now covered with a form of lichen
and as you can see this part of Iceland is no less impressive than the south
the main difference you'll find is how quiet the roads are here
Another feature of Iceland is it's quite possible to get all four seasons in one day
but a touch of moisture isn't going to put us off especially when we've got a lovely waterfall to look at
Now fans of Game of Thrones may recognize this as Arrowhead mountain
and this was one thing I wasn't expecting to see in Iceland, a lovely golden sandy beach
now this doesn't mean I'm gonna strip down to my Speedos, it's still Iceland after all
Now somewhere I thought was really magnificent, and this is us being as west as we can be in Iceland
Now, the next stopover on the plan, yep there was a plan
and this is the remains of a volcano that erupted roughly three to four thousand years ago
So I think we're fairly safe, and once again you have views over the landscape
and now we get to our final destination the ancient rock formation of Londrangar
and that brings this part of the journey to a close. Thanks so much for watching
We hope you've enjoyed it. Don't forget to click like, and why not subscribe so you get the rest of our adventures

or perhaps something else that takes your fancy
Thanks again
