Iceland, Travels with a Wheelchair

Travels with a Wheelchair – Iceland

Travels with a Wheelchair – Iceland

Iceland has long been on my bucket list so we were really excited to finally get something booked up with a couple of friends for late February this year.  We arrived on a very windy day with almost white-out conditions and as the front door of the plane opened an icy blast hit us. Reykjavik [...]

My brilliant coach @emily_teamprojectyou would say that a before and after photo doesn’t show you the whole picture. I agree. These before and after photos of my journey this far are a snapshot of moments in my life and don’t show you the ups and downs of my weeks and months and years.
The long morning commute to the accessible office in the garden for @mrwobblelegs. Occasionally there’s traffic. Like the odd snail on the path!
A rare photo of the house today. Actually managed to tidy up the bedroom today and had to take a quick snap 🤣
Welcome to the man-cave. Aka @mrwobblelegs office. You all know he’s a #spacegeek - can you tell at all?
Well, if you ignore the shabby plants and unpainted deck 😁 you will see the new ramp and path which has now given @mrwobblelegs more freedom to get to work in his man cave in the garden.
A quick reel of our trip to Vienna. It’s reasonably accessible, many restaurants had level access or a ramp, the pedestrianised area was lovely and smooth and the metro was accessible (tip - wheelchairs travel in first and last carriage, a small ramp pops out to help). Lifts at the stations. The beautiful #shönbrunnpalace was accessible via lifts with an attendant and carer goes in free. We did the Winter Pass which also gave us Zoo entry and we saw 🐼 up close which was fabulous. We also took the #wienerriesenrad ferris wheel, again there’s one accessible carriage although not fully flat, but the staff are helpful and offered to assist. Discounted rate for wheelchair user and carer. The #spanishridingschool was also accessible although the ramp to get in and out was not brilliant and ripped the netted basket under the wheelchair.
