good morning guys it's Noel here and my better
half Rachel who is behind the camera, we
are heading off on another early morning
down to London Gatwick Airport
and are very excited as we
are heading off to Iceland courtesy of
WOW Air who are very kindly taking us
to Iceland for a couple of days away
to film the WOW Air experience for
everybody so let's see how it goes
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
okay so we are here at Reykjavik's
Keflavik International Airport here in
Iceland wonderful flight over with WOW
Air, absolutely amazing service on
the flight a little bit of a delay that
wasn't really due to WOW Air or
anything it was just a delay due to a
massive computer failure that's just
happened with
British Airways apparently they've cancelled
all BA flights for the rest of the day
and this had a bit of a knock on effect
onto us and while we were there so we're
now here it's very cold just waiting for our
shuttle to take us to the hotel which is about a
10 to 15 minute drive away
[Music]
okay so we are here at the Northern
Light in in Grindavik which is around 20
minutes away from Keflavik Airport is
pretty close really very handy for the
airport absolutely amazed with the
scenery that we've seen here on the
route here because the view from
our hotel room here and it's like a
Martian landscape and everywhere seems
to be like this and what hot springs
everywhere as well real smell of sulphur
in the air as well which is quite
interesting to say the least and it's
really cold we left home and it was like
28 degrees here is eight, a little rain
in the air as well so it's very
different weather-wise to we've got in
the UK at the moment but with this
scenery really it just makes up for it
[Music]
so I'm back from a run that was amazing
experience, running through all the
lava fields things like that really
refreshing cold and rainy but really
refreshing as well we are back at the
hotel now about to head out to the Blue
Lagoon
and we're going to go and see what
that's all about and have a bit of a
relaxing day now we are here at the Blue
Lagoon
[Music]
geothermal water straight from the
ground basically from volcanoes and
things and it's just absolutely heavenly
full of like natural minerals and stuff
it's absolutely amazing and then the
rocks over there as our white deposits
which is all the silica out of the
ground and it's just amazing it's just
water just feel so relaxing
we're going to spend a couple of hours
here at least maybe I don't
know whether you can hear it and then I
put this down even talking straight I
[Bubbling noise]
don't know whether you can hear that
that is basically put your ears onto the
water it's like fizzing noise like
you'd get in a bottle of Coke
[Music]
So we have been here for 24 hours and it's
been cloudy all the time and coming to
the Blue Lagoon the sun has come out!
so we're in Iceland surrounded by
volcanic rock in a port of geothermal
water naturally heated, the only thing to do
really is to complete it and drink some
Icelandic beer as well so Cheers!
[Music]
they've actually got American trucks
here! I'd so love one of those
so I've come out for a little walk now
it is 20 past 11:00 at night as you can
see from the sky it is still very light
out indeed and this is a dark as it gets
it'll be light it'll be like this all
overnight now until the morning really
you can see if you look kind of towards
the north it's kind of sunset but it
doesn't ever get dark I think the Sun
drops below the horizon very briefly and
then sunset for a couple of hours and
then get starts getting light again it's
absolutely incredible when you come to
places like this I've been to northern
Norway in the middle of winter and it's
you get exactly the opposite effect in
the winter as well it's dark
24/7 pretty much it gets a little bit
dusky light in the daytime and for a
couple of hours and then gets dark again
for the rest of the time and then in the
summer broad daylight for 24 hours so I
don't know whether I could cope with living
somewhere like this but it really is
cool to experience it when you come
over here
[Music]
okay so it is now Monday morning and we
are just waiting to go home we've
checked out of our hotel here in Grindavik
Iceland and we were just waiting
for the bus to the airport now in about
an hour's time the weather is taking a
turn for the worse it's very windy and
cloudy so it might be a bit of a bumpy
ride out of here but that makes for more
exciting for us ride on the plane
[Music]
I don't know if you can hear this wind
but this is absolutely probably some
other fiercest wind I've ever felt and
there's kind of normal in this part of Iceland
and this is the strongest the winds
been since we've been here and and we
are about to board our flight home which is even better
I'm I guess it's just really gives an
indication of what the weather here is
usually like and you have to remember
that this is essentially a rock in the
middle of the North Atlantic Ocean which
is going to blasted by storms like
this regularly so I guess for the locals
this is nothing but for us this is
pretty intense
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so that's it we are home driving back to
North Nottinghamshire we've got a three-hour
drive back from Gatwick now so not very
nice journey to do after being on a flight for
three hours we had an absolutely wonderful
time in Iceland, brilliant
flights, our flight on the way back was on a brand
new Airbus A321 that was just delivered two
days ago so that was fantastic to get
onboard that as well
wonderful for us thank you so much to WOW Air
for this opportunity for us to fly to
Iceland with them really do appreciate
it
we had a wonderful time and hope you guys
enjoyed the video, I'll see you next
time!
