zhunter Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 OK, I have 3 1/2 days to kill between being in Malmo, Sweden and London in September. I have heard GREAT things about Reykjavik So, I am thinking of making a little trip over there to check it out. Any thoughts from those that live there or have been? Keep in mind, I am single Won't be shooting as I don't have my guns with me. Mainly plan to have a good time, see some sites and check out the hot springs etc.... OK, lets hear from the Benoverse travel guiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Nope cant tell...fifth amendment. I remember that you need to be selective about the hot springs.....some of them will give you kooties. They also do some awsome four wheel drive stuff.....totaly crazy stuff for sure!!! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Z, Google up Goose / Waterfowl hunting in Iceland. It may be too early in the season, but it's worth checking into. I was thinking about going on a trip there a few years back. I think renting guns is no problem. Too bad you're not going later, you could get some skiing in.

Dan Sierpina Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Isn't Iceland supposed to have some awesome trout/ salmon fishing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxD Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Been there many times back when LearJets had short legs. Unfortunately these were one nighters, so my advice is four words. HOLLYWOOD BAR after midnight. And that's all I am going to say about that. Edit: Buy a sweater in Reyk. Iceland wool is excellent.

Mistral404 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I almost do not know where to start. My college professor did a lot of work in Iceland, so I learned about more about the place. Additionally, during my service time we had a sister base in Iceland and some of those folks got shipped to my base. They pretty much price gouged the American servicemen. Horse meat is like goat, lamb or beef to the rest of us. Genetically Iceland is the most pure place on earth. Tons of bioresearch is done there. THey can trace their families back hundreds and hundreds of years. The language is very pure also. Women used to get paid to have a baby. No stigma attached to single mothers. The women are unbelievably beautiful. They are very independent as is almost everyone in that nation. Remember their gunboats firing on other country's fishing vessels. They are kind of like the John Wayne toilet paper, they do not take S#%%it off of anyone. Well their women are like that also. Be real with them and you will do fine, try to play them and they will ignore you. Go and have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betterment Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Lived there for 2 years. Go to the bars have fun, the girls will probably treat you better knowing that you are not a service member. Do buy a sweater of two. Check out the Blue Lagoon. DO NOT BRING ANY GUNS!!! Complement anyone you talk to about the "natural beauty of the land and how it seems to be majestic yada yada yada..." and do bring a camera.
