Slow
Travel in the west of Iceland and enjoy it.
We think that it is very important to enjoy your travel as much
as possible so we suggest that you just slow down in West Iceland.
Stay 2 or 3 nights instead of 1 at your accommodation, enjoy a hot
tub or a nice walk or just take a walk in the beatiful nature in
West Iceland.
Enjoying
the moment is absorbing. Enjoyment is accomplished by relaxing into
the moment. You can't fast forward nature. You can't stop or freeze
frame moments you enjoy. While in nature you're included, you became
part of it all. In order to enjoy the moment you actually have to
appreciate it. To appreciate the moment you have to quiet down and
silently go within yourself. Nature cannot be beautiful unless you
appreciate it. Beauty in any form requires appreciation in order
to be beautiful, and appreciation is a quality found within you..
this is so true - have it as a mental guidance on your travel around
West Iceland.(ENJOY THE MOMENT! By Lionel Ketchian
