    Wow Lea, loved it, and for a lady six months pregnant you certainly didn't let it stop you, bet you made your partner panic a few times though. Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you.

    Hello Lea, good to see you back on the road (with a tiny passenger. ). Iceland is stunning so is your photography. Looking forward to the next video.

    First of all… what a gorgeous place. I’ve seen other Iceland motorcycle videos and they are always dick-swinging competitions to see who can ride the fastest before someone breaks a leg or collarbone. Hard. Pass. No thank you.

    This IS the way Iceland should be seen. Much appreciated. Much respect, Lea. Well done. The homes on Flatey remind me of the Maritimes on the eastern coast of Canada. It oozes of natural beauty.

    Okay, I’ve got my crack investigative crew working on little A’s name – my thirteen-year-old daughter. 😂 Her first comment was, “This is a little creepy, a little stalkerish.” I replied, “But it’s for a signed copy of Lea’s book!” While rolling her eyes, she then said, “Oh, okay. That makes it okay then.” 😂

    Teen daughters. Sheesh. 😂 She’s probably not wrong. 😂

    This is what we have so far. Your partner has at least one large ear (as per the two-up ride to retrieve your bikes, he dislikes churches and site-seeing (typical man 😂), he can’t bend down to attach a ratchet strap to secure the bikes on the ferry (probably due to knee and hip injuries from years of Olympic ski jump training and crashing), so he has his pregnant partner do so, and English is not his first language as per his pronunciation of “Com-PLI-ca-ted”, and the delicious drink that looked like it had rhubarb chunks in it. Yummy.

    Still working on your partner’s ethnic background. I’m sticking with Eastern European but I heard a little South African in his voice. LOL.

    My wife and daughter say to start with Adam. I think they are wrong, but if they aren’t, I’ll never hear the end of it. Alex or Alec, is another. Alexander is another strong name. I’ll throw in Andy since your partner is probably a huge Bee Gees & Andy Gibb fanatic.

    BTW, if I somehow do miraculously guess little A’s name, don’t tell me that I’ve done so until the end of the series. Stalkerish, yes. 😂 But we do respect your, your partner’s, and little A’s privacy.

    This is for fun. And a book. High stakes.

    Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦

    BELLISSIMO VIDEO ! non sono stato attento..puoi dirmi in che periodo dell' anno siete stati in islanda? Grazie! e Complimenti ❤

    Welcome back!
    I missed you.
    I would love to go to Iceland, and your video makes it even more enticing.

    This spring, I rode down the Appalachian Mountains and went out to the ocean. Your videos were a great guide for that trip!

    Although, I didn't enjoy the Outerbanks as much as you did. In my YouTube video, I went on a rant about why I didn't like it but included a link to your video for people to get a happier description.

    Anyhow, congrats on your baby and welcome to a new way of life. There is nothing better than being a parent!

    Go forth with an open mind and, most importantly, an open heart and remember that self-care is not selfish!
