Times Square


Cheap times in Iceland

December 10, 2008

What a great destination Rekjaaviik is. The scenery is spectacular, we loved the Golden Circle Tour. In one day we walked along a beach and spotted icebergs, had a snowball fight at a glacier, ran away from steaming hot jets of water from a geyser, and took some fabulous piccies of huge glacial waterfalls and a four hundred year old church. This was all on a thumping hangover courtesy of some of the best nightclubs I have ever visited. Most people in Iceland still believe in little goblins that live under the ground and come out at night so they are a pretty interesting bunch to talk to (and very attractive too!). If possible, I recommend a guided trip into the interior (constantly shifting due to volcanic activity) by four wheel drive. Take plenty of money as everything is expensive and stock up on the duty free booze.

It is possible to hire 21-speed mountain bikes from the Reykjavik campground for Ikr1100 for the day. It is not a joke to undertake a bike ride only if the weather is calm and clear. When we left the campground it was overcast but by the time we reached Krafla we could just about see our hands in front of our faces. We only got to Viti by leaving the bikes at the Power plant and hitching along with some Fins who had been living in Iceland for the past two years and even they lost their way as the fog was so thick. When we eventually did reach the crater we could just about make out the line of the water and no more; so if the weather is not clear when you plan on going to Viti, just buy the postcard instead.
