Here goes, the top ten list of the Atlantic country of Iceland.

10. Skyr. This Icelandic smoothie made our of Skyr, a non-fat youghurt made your heart sing after the Blue Lagoon experience.

9. Icelandic horses. Gorgeous creatures with a calm, even temper, strong and easy to handle.

8. Geysir - the original that gave name to all geysers out there.

7. The currency. Didn’t really get used to counting in thousands but the currency being in the state it is makes being a tourist from another weak-currency country much much nicer.

6. Gullfoss. Roaring waterfalls are always impressive. In a Grand Canyon like landscape and rainbows showing up every five minutes in the mist makes Gullfoss a unique experience.

5. Lobster and lamb. Local, fresh and well prepared.

4. The Icelandic bus tour guide. Hilarious and I’m not sure whether she was aware of the fact that she had most of the bus laughing or at least giggling whenever talking.

3. The tap water. Delicious.

2. Nizza. Icelanders may know how to cook lamb but honestly they don’t really have a clue about making good chocolate. Still, Nizza has been keeping me good company throughout this trip and I became so accustomed to it that I ended up buying some to bring home. Knowing that I will be the only one wanting another bite.

1. The Blue Lagoon.

See previous post for details.
