Iceland is very spread out as a country so staying in one place for the whole time was not an option. Because of this, we had to be very nomadic and carry as little luggage as possible. Every 1-2 days we would pack up all our stuff and change locations, jumping from hostel living to apartment style housing. It was the best way to experience most of the country as possible. We were fortunate to have housing in amazing locations, a few times we were in the middle of nowhere where we could appreciate the beauty of the nature around us, and other times in the center of a city where we could experience the night life and shopping offered. Almost every morning we had to be ready and out the door by 9 am to make the most of the 12 days we had in Iceland. Getting around took 2 vehicles, one was a truck with a large bed that fit all of our luggage, the other was a 15-person van that we rode in everyday to get to excursions and for long trips. When getting ready to head out, we had to prepare for any and all possible weather. We experienced almost all weather possible for Iceland in May: wind, hail, snow, sun, rain. It made it even weirder that the sun never fully set so it never got too dark outside. Temperatures hovered around 30-40 C so we had to wear plenty of layers to stay warm as well as waterproof outer wear to protect ourselves from the rain and waterfalls that we were constantly around. We also had to wear waterproof hiking shoes most days because some of our hikes required us to trudge through streams and around waterfalls. We went to different waterfalls almost every day, each day they got grander than the day before, each with its own story as well to capture our attention with. My favorite waterfall that we visited was called Gotafoss, which means waterfall of the gods. It got its name when Iceland decided to convert to Christianity and the natives threw their idols of old Norse Gods into the waterfall to fully accept the new religion.
