* Iceland *
5 days with a wheelchair friend by rental car / 2010
Automatic rental car at Reykjavik international
airport. We drive using a potable hand controller made in USA.
My wheelchair friend do toilet only in a bathroom. I can do
toilet anywhere using a mini plastic bottle.
Tourist place were generally wheelchair accessible. Surely
some place are not accessible because of nature land.
We tried joining whale watching tour in Husavik, northern Iceland. Fortunately our tour ship was big. Not so much swing. Sailors helped us. Cold and rainy. We could see many whales, but not all body, just whales back. Nice 3 hours tour.
Lava locks around Myvatn lake. Dimmuborgir nice
trail inside lava. I could go inside. not all but possible.
Volcano country. Hot springs.
Myvatn nature bath. It opened in 2004. Ramp at entrance and to bath.
The most exciting tourist spot for us was Jokursarlon, glacir lake. The wooden bridge to tour boat was so nice for wheelchair users. We could get in easily. 30 minutes cruise.
Nice drive if the whether is fine. Many falls and criffs.
Icelander like hot spring pool and spa. High quality
facility and also wheelchair accessible.
