- We had so much fun shooting this "Downtown driving in #Reykjavik #Iceland January 2023". If you have requests about places you want to see, please like and subscribe and send us a message! :)
Right after we finished filming a storm broke out so we finished it just in the nick of time but that's typical Iceland weather and if you don't like it, just wait 15 minutes and it's probably different.
Maybe one day if we get enough #likes, I will go #seaswimming haha.

Very nice! Those old army buildings are called “quonset huts” in US! I’m so looking forward to visiting!
Great Video! Very nice showing us Reykjavík Iceland- we’re visiting Iceland this coming May 2023 and we’re staying at one of the hotel in Laugavegur! Maybe we can arrange some tours with you guys??
We fly in tomorrow. We’re renting a car. So, your video was very helpful. I still have questions about parking. It is easy to find a spot? It is expensive? What the time limits? Is there any free parking between certain hours or locations? 😅
Hey, how was your trip? Sorry for the late reply.
One of the most authentic videos of Reykjavik I have watched, thanks, see you in October Reykjavik.
We are visiting Iceland in a few months, so this is interesting seeing what we might be seeing in person.
That's great, I hope you have a really good time. Let me know if you want to see something specific in the capital area and we can make a video about it. 😊
Beautiful! You English is very good!!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you! 😊
FYI, a barrack refers to a place soldiers reside/sleep. That style of building is referred to as a quonset hut.
@3:15 yes barracks! Practically the same word in Icelandic. Thank you so much for posting this. We are coming for 12 days in April (first time) doing most of the Ring Road and I was very curious about traffic near large cities. Thanks so much. PS - You and your wife seem like such FUN people. Thanks!
I stayed in an apartment at Hverfisgata (other side of Laugavegur). Nice video, brings back memories of the area.
Your English is very good 👍
Thank you! 😃
Look very nice and beautiful driving with nice place
Thank you for great sharing
Greatting from Macau 🇲🇴
Thank you for the kind words. 😊
Excellent video. We're coming to Iceland next month and this was really helpful. I've never driven a left hand drive car before so it should be fun!
Thank you. 😊 Hope you have a great time and let me know if you have any questions about Iceland.
Cheers guys, always nice to see the area yet again. Can’t wait to be back🙂
Our pleasure. 😀
Love the humor and energy lol
cool! Thanks for the tour! :)
Any time!
Good stuff, planning our July trip now!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you, I was there last May, and the areas you were driving are areas I visited and drove.
Thank you. 😀
Wow thanks for this, I went on a tour in iceland in 2019 and this just took me back :)
That's awesome. Thank you. 😊 How did you like Iceland?
@@theicelandicfamily Loved everything about it !!!!! Such an unreal beautiful place
I enjoyed the journey, you made this great fun. Do you find it easier to speak English, what percentage of time do Icelanders spend speaking English verses Icelandic....are the young people bothered about the language?
Thank you. 😀 I find it way easier to speak in Icelandic. We normally don’t speak English but most of the country speaks it and understands it well. Most of our media is in English, movies, episodes, etc. Are young people bothered about the language? Im not sure what you mean, can you expand on that? Thanks.
@@theicelandicfamily I guess one's mind will always think in the native language, and great that you're bilingual. I wondered whether the Icelandic youth perhaps don't appreciate Icelandic language with so much foreign media?
@@forthedisenfranchised4366 You are correct. There is a lot of slang used especially by the younger generation and there are many changes happening but I think that’s likely happening everywhere and natural. Currently I’m learning German and really enjoying it. Spanish is on my list as well, one day. 😀
@@theicelandicfamily Amazing, well done on your language studies.
Thanks. Coming from Northern California in a couple weeks. Stop in London first, then Iceland and finish in Norway.
That sounds like a fun trip. Let me know if you have any questions about Iceland. 🙏😀
I have driven in Iceland many times, can you tell if tourists are driving?
What we Icelander call "Braggi" is an ingenious construction I believe the Allies called a Quonset hut during WW2.
I had no idea, thank you. 👍🏼 It would be nice to learn more about them.
Where do we buy candy ? We may take you up in that double decker tour guide for 99.99 per hour ! Planning trip in September
as someone who is currently doing their license on Iceland, this was very helpful and fun :D
I’m glad we could help. Thank you. ☺️
🎉
It seems to me you drove Skoda car? Hello from Czechia! 😃
Good eye! Yes it’s a Skoda Superb and we love it. :)
I have a question can you drive to and from Diamond beach in a day all the tour guides want you to go on a two day excursion, the wife and I want to see the beach and glacier and come back to Reykjavik and have steak at the steak house?
Nice tour. With your accent, I'd guess that your American.
Hello
3000€ after taxes is good salary in Iceland?
And how much expenses per month rent, food, transportation?
Please i want to know that.
Hi Dipak.
Great question and good timing because I'm just about to create a video about salary and the cost of living here in Iceland.
But to quickly answer your question. The legal minimum amount you have to get for full time employment is 2.400 euros. That's minimum wage, and I personally don't know anyone that makes minimum wage.
In Reykjavik you would pay around 2.500 euros in rent per month for a two bedroom apartment, if it's a bit nicer, closer to 3.000 euros so you see the minimum wage doesn't get you far. You could also rent a small studio apartment with a bathroom for around 1200 euros.
1 liter of petrol is 2 euros. Food is a lot more expensive than mainland Europe.
I will cover this in greater detail soon. Stay tuned my friend.
Are you thinking about moving to Iceland?
@@theicelandicfamily
The San Francisco Bay Area is about the same.
Hello . I wanted to know how much is the salary of an electrical engineer in Iceland? Is it possible to live well with this job in Iceland?
Yeah, the grammar is nuts... like who invented changing the word for something based on who owns it... like cat, my cat, her cat, their cat. Not my cat, her kött, their köttur... yes, I took a course in Icelandic, I didn't pass, can you tell? 🙂
Are electric cars becoming popular in Iceland? With 100% renewable electricity you could really ditch oil.
Haha yes the grammar is nuts. That’s so cool you took a course in Icelandic. I really do feel for people trying to learn Icelandic, even us native speakers sometimes say this doesn’t make any sense. 😄
Electric vehicles are really popular here, in 2021 I think around 25% of all new vehicles were EV, and last year it was probably a lot more. It’s really cheap to charge them here.
Thanks for the comment, appreciated, love chatting with people that watch our little channel. 🙏
@@theicelandicfamily I like the attempts to create native words instead of borrowing foreign ones, like Tölva, a computer really is becoming the oracle of our time 🙂 One of the participants on the course brought a piece of Heimaey, I hope the new rumblings in the center of Iceland don't turn out to be that bad.
I fully agree. We have some neat words that we have created mostly for new gadgets coming out. I can see you follow the news here. 👌 I hope Askja doesn’t erupt, but the last five times it happened last century they weren’t big eruptions but you never know what happens here in Iceland. 😶🌫️
@@theicelandicfamily Looking for a heads up before the airspace shuts down in Europe the next time 🙂 Is Askja the Icelandic word for Ash?
@@zapfanzapfan Askja is an Icelandic volcano that they are worried is going to erupt soon. We sure were popular when Eyjafjallajökull erupted in 2010. 😅
I don't understand how can any one stay in ice cold water for that long.
Me neither. I was cold just watching them, but I told myself that if we ever get friends of the channel that visit Iceland and want to do it, I will join them. 🤪💪
Slippery roads
Yes, they can be. 😏
Hi can you send me invataion letter possible
I was 8 years ago....love Reykjavik nightlife,specially Icelandic girls are pretty🌝😉😉🤩
I agree, the nightlife in Reykjavik is really active. 😉 I'm glad you had a good time.
Great video! We will be in Iceland in March. Can't wait! By the way, the Army barracks buildings are called Quonset Huts. I grew up at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and there were many quonset huts there when I was a child. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quonset_hut
Thanks! I hope you have a great time in Iceland. We are big fans of World War II and love studying it so thank you for the link. 😀
love from india❤
Ahhh, thank you! Love from Iceland ❤️ Visiting India is a dream of mine, hopefully one day. 🙏
@@theicelandicfamily also visiting iceland is a dream of mine .. one day we can 💚
