Breathtaking flight over part of Iceland's impressive interior - On May 29th I made a beautiful flight over the Laki craters and Landmannalaugar. I had made a reservation for the 11.00 flight, but since there is a minimum occupancy of 4 people, the day before I got a nice call asking if I agreed to be assigned at 13.00. I had already taken that into account with the daily schedule, so I did not find that a problem. On the spot I was neatly offered a cup of coffee and a cookie and I met my 4 'flight' enjoyed, cozy people from Texas. Since I was traveling alone, I was allowed to sit in the front seat next to the very friendly pilot. I wanted to see some of the Icelandic interior, since the F-roads were almost all still closed and you couldn't get there with a 4x4. Armed with a camera I took quite a few pictures during this breathtaking flight. The weather was also reasonably good, some showers were skilfully bypassed. Our pilot talked with great enthusiasm about the areas we flew over. What a fantastic view from above. Really impressive. Eventually we landed safely at the airport. After another nice cup of coffee and a nice conversation at the reception I said goodbye with a very satisfied feeling. Despite the fact that it costs quite a bit (but yes, Iceland is a more expensive holiday country) it is very worthwhile to do anyway !! In any case I wouldn't have missed this for the world:-)
