Exploring Iceland By Car (Video and Gallery) ~ Motoring Nomad

Taking advantage of some favourable flight prices I headed to Iceland recently, hired a car and set about exploring some of the island. I'd been once before, ten years ago, and harboured fond memories of the place and this trip re-enforced them. I'll even forgive them for charging £9 for a pint of beer...

The Dacia Duster we received as a hire car wouldn't have been my first choice but, despite my complaints in the video below, it performed well enough. I certainly gained more respect for it when I returned to the UK and discovered that its RRP is £9,995. You can't buy much at all for that money, so it offsets my grumbles somewhat. Anyway, a thoroughly enjoyable trip was had and I'd certainly recommend it to anyone as a destination offering something a little different from the norm.
