driving the icelandic fjords: beauty or just endless curves?

We spent last weekend driving through the northern fjords of Iceland, and let me tell you, the views were straight out of a postcard—snow-capped peaks, icy blue water, and those little fishing villages that look like they’re from another century. But after the first hour, I started to wonder if I was missing something. The roads twist and turn so much that I felt like I was on a never-ending roller coaster, and my back was begging for mercy. We stopped at a tiny café in Siglufjörður, hoping for a warm meal, but the only thing on the menu was dried fish and rye bread. I couldn’t help but think: are these scenic drives really worth the sore muscles and limited food options? Has anyone else found a hidden gem up there—a cozy spot with good food and a view that makes the drive worth it? Or is it just me who ends up hungry and stiff after chasing these Instagram-worthy landscapes? Sometimes I wonder if the reality of these famous routes matches up to the hype, or if I’m just not doing it right. Either way, the scenery is stunning, but my stomach and back might not agree! #icelandroadtrip #travelquestions #fjordviews #Travel
