>>156387Icelandic soil is very vulnerable to erosion.
A single track of a car driving off road can be visible for decades.
Offenders getting caught have to pay severe fines.
The Icelandic police doesn't play around in these matters.
I don't know how the situation is for bicycles.
Come to think of it, I probably violated to law when I rode up the end moraine.
>>156382Iceland is a tiny country.
There is always Civilization in reach within a 150km (A day trip on a bike) unless you're going trough the middle.
And there will be plenty of tourists there who can help you in an emergency situation.
However the emptiness (read> loneliness) has been a problem for me.
I already said that Icelandic people tend to keep away from foreigners.
In my 45 days I managed to have like 5 proper conversations with Icelandic people.
>You mentioned you carried food for 10 daysNo, I said I can carry food for ten days.
Usually I did carry food for 5 days, since food is heavy and Iceland is so small.
>but did you ever go a day without eating because you couldn't find somewhere to buy food?Hell no.
The only situation that got somewhere close was in the West Fjords.
I was entering from the south, running out of supplies and the only proper super market is in Ísafjörður, way up north.
Because of that I had to skip the southern west fjords and made my way to Ísafjörður right away.
Towns in the southern fjords have some tiny stores too but they would have been like 50% overpriced.
It was an economic choice.
>>156363I already said it, Iceland is easy, it just looks incredible.
This was the last time I travel to a Western country that caters to tourists to maximum extend (New Zealand was exactly the same), there is just no sense of adventure.
>>156503Still waiting for my last credit card bill, around 700 Euros for food and accommodation.
I'm still working on my money saving skills.
