i have never been in a place where every five minutes "wow" escaped my mouth and i didn't even want to blink in case i missed some scenery.
the landscape is as unpredictable as the weather, rolling green hills, drastic rocky mountains, eerie volcanic barrenness, diamond blue lakes, ever-changing coastlines, and the clouds play drama like no other theatrical live-cast.
the air was cold, rain (or drizzle) was often, people were sparse, and greenery was everywhere.
it is a truly beautiful work of art by nature, almost untouched, making everyone feel as if they were the first to discover this amazing land.
