Here is some Tourist Information beneficial for the potential traveller to Iceland:-
I am a travel enthusiast from Jaipur, India always full of curiosity to explore new places marked by some cultural, geographical & historical significance around the globe. Also I love visiting places full of adventure/mystery & have undertaken many amazing trekking expeditions to difficult locations needing toughness of body, soul &the spirit. I have explored most of Indian states/UTs to learn about their culture,had cultural exchange with people & learnt to respect their religious beliefs/customs.In September 2019, we went on our first foreign trip(50 days)to Netherlands, France, Belgium& Switzerland.Again in July 2022 ,we got a chance to visit Europe & have visited(75-day trip)Italy ,Portugal, Germany,Spain & Vatican city. The trips were full of amazing monuments,natural landscapes & places of great scenic beauty.Enjoyed the visit enormously.Having traveled so much I felt like travel blogging & here I am doing just that !Apart from travel-blogging I also like poetry.
Basically I am an Electrical Engineer retired recently from Central Govt. Service after serving for 38 yrs. Meanwhile I have completed my Master of Social Work degree to pursue my Social obligations towards my fellow beings & am engaged in rendering Social Services to the needy &the disadvantaged ! Also I will like to pursue my new-found interest/hobby of writing Travelogues to benefit my readers by providing max. details like statistics, demography, historical origin, way of life , professions , languages spoken & the culture/customs associated with any place. While enjoying any tourist place, I simply advocate that one must also try to learn about the place. I travel and then share the collected information with the potential traveler .Hence the name of my site - Travel and share.😊

Thank you so much, Dhirendra, for your wonderfully fascinating photo documentary from your 5-day visit to Iceland with your family. As always, your detailing of everything you have seen is excellent, and it holds the reader’s attention; in fact, I read your post twice to fully appreciate the beauty of the country, known for the volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, geysers, huge lava fields, and Auroras, nature’s spectacle of surreal beaty. Needless to say, you and your family have seen it all.
From the pictures taken while flying from Copenhagen airport to views over Iceland, and Reykjavik airport, then traveling to your rented home in the village of Holaborg, we could see the wide roads, green fields, implying the fresh air, the beaches with black sand, stunning views, including the sculpture of Viking boat, Nothern lights, many puffins, and of course, your beautiful family having a time of their lives! Who wouldn’t have, especially since your son and his wife planned all perfectly? And little Tarinni is so cute!
Joanna,Let me tell you what! This is only trailer of the full picture you will watch in 4 more episodes to come detailing the 4 full-days visits to all the destinations whose glimpses I have given to keep the onwards journey interesting! You have already appreciated a lot & I think you should have saved some appreciation for 4 more blogs to come!I am happy I could make our simple journey to Iceland so enjoyable!I can’t find enough words for expressing my gratitude to you for the hearty appreciation! I truly feel encouraged in my blogging spree,Joanna🙏
