My guide was simply awesome--and incredibly patient given that I booked this as a solo tour. He graciously put up with me for TEN hours as he showed me the majestic sights of the south coast of Iceland. I saw waterfalls, glaciers, lava formations and incredible beaches. I learned about "sneaker" waves (never ever turn your back on the water) and how climate change is affecting the country's landscape. The ten hours went by really quickly and I learned a lot about Iceland, its history and its present/future through our many conversations. I also saw so many rainbows that I thought they were simply part of my itinerary. Going solo was way more expensive than sitting on a tour bus or in a mii-van with strangers but it more than paid off in giving me, a photographer, time to take my time at each stop. What a great trip!
