Kleifarvatn Lake, our first car and geysers

As I mentioned earlier, Iceland is rather expensive country. You can notice it for example if you want to rent a car. In Iceland if you want to see anything interesting, 4x4 is recommended. So few weeks before departure I started to look for a cheapest 4x4. I found good opinions and good prices in sadcars.com. They've quite nice webpage with cars in category P (Nissan Terano or similar) that I like. Price is not bad (comparing to other companies): 82 EUR/day in winter season and almost double in summer season, but it also not a low price, so I was expecting some good, quality car. Of course you've to add some insurances and other payments, so finally for a week we paid ca. 860 EUR. And for what? For 15 years old crappy car that broken after 3 days of driving. Amazing business they do in Iceland!


But let's leave cars and take care of landscapes! These are amazing. We visited Kleifarvatn Lake area, because it's not far away from Reykjavik and is wonderful. Weather was pretty nice. Next to the lake you see some steam in the hills and you immediately think you should get there. We did it just to see something unforgettable for the first time in my life.
