FERÐAÞJÓNUSTA
Hjörleifshöfði
Early in spring 2015, a man booked a self-drive tour in Iceland. He had a lot of questions though, and was quite worried about
each and every aspect of his trip: Would the accommodation fit his standard? Would those wandering sheep be crossing the road
wherever he went? And, strangest of all, was it really safe to travel in Iceland during a full moon?
We made sure the traveller was content about our hotel selection, gave him all the instructions on what to do when encountering sheep on the highway, and told him that luckily, the midnight sun would outshine the moon so he should be alright out there
on the road!
Later, the traveller declared his trip a grand success and commented that the only actual worry people should have before visiting Iceland is not wanting to leave!
