Iceland

It's Nik's dream country. Z and I ikutkan sahaja cos' usually it's always about us.Kasi chan le. Then we have the satisfaction of saying "pilihan siapa?" when he complains sejuknya. Heh heh.

Mula-mula memang saya tak enjoy holiday ni.My bones could not handle the cold. Maghrib jam 10 pm. Isyak 12 midnight (yang masih cerah terang benderang).Subuh around 2 am.Hadoi..once I tidur lepas subuh around 2 am and bangun dah 6.I thought 6 pm.Rupa2nya 6 am.Not only the day felt longer..time sometimes stood still.I rasa I tidur dah lama sangat!
 We arrived on Iceland's national day

 Iceland is an island, OK?

 Atas lagi dari Scotland OK?

 The biggest church in Iceland

 They are very creative with foods and drinks

 Summer, OK?


 Rasa overrated

 Semua kena pakai baju macam ni sebab sejuk

 Macam Captain Ahab looking for Moby Dick

 Sini asyik lapar

 Fish dia sedap dan fresh
Waktu ni 1.39 am waktu Isyak.Cerah macam petang
 
 Mmg pandai memasak ikan depa ni

 Roti pun sedap bila sejuk2 gini

 Cod

 Ni after pi whale watching.Nik and Italian
pizza
 Iceland tulips pun kuat sejuk

 Tulips dlm suhu 8 celcius

 In the neighbourhood

 One of our Golden Circle stops
Sini dulu perkampungan orang Viking.They just pushed 
wrongdoers ke dlm sungai ni.Mostly women.

 Nak nunggu geyser ni meletus bukan senang.

 My rapper boy

 Waterfall ni powerful gila..more powerful than
Niagara Falls

 I was too tired to walk closer to it.Ni pemandangan dari atas

 You'll get scenes like this even in the city




                                                                   Kuda Iceland

 Geothermal spa (Blue Lagoon) is a must if 
you go to Iceland
 Memang dalam takat leher. Lepas tu dapat free mask

 volcanic area
First the Vikings, then me.
the farms around the Golden Circle route

Besoknya we went whale watching pi deep sea yang bergelora. Z muntah walaupun dah makan 2 anti sickness pills. I tak makan but almost nak muntah juga. Whale tu susah nak timbul.Only after 3 hours baru nampak kelibat dia. Tak berbaloi le duduk atas boat tu dlm kesejukan. But it was an experience you need to do if in Iceland. The next must do is berendam in the geothermal spa at The Blue Lagoon.Now barulah rasa holiday sikit lepas pening pi cari whale tadi.Very relaxing time here,

Then the following day, we did the Golden Circle.Nik drove left hand.Torture sbb tak biasa.Nasib kereta tak banyak. Mcm NZ in many parts..craters, geysers, mountains, lakes, sungai..memang natural.Banyak kuda kat sini.Nak beli around USD1K.Murah lorr but a student tengah bercuti di Mongolia told me sana lagi murah ..around USD300. Haha..kalau dekat dan boleh hidup kat Msia, nak juga beli. Pi UIA naik kuda. Haha.

Yang paling we enjoyed was the horse riding and it was a good day after many days hujan dan suhu was 6 celsius walaupun summer. Then we walked in the park pi kejar wild rabbits and tengok locals mandi dlm sungai dlm suhu 6 celsius tu. That's the beauty of Reykjavik..the city is built in nature bukan nature built after you have built your concrete jungle so lakes, mountains, wild life are all in the city.Syok macam tu sebab tak payah pi jauh nak picnic or unwind.Right there in the city.I think orang Iceland ni pandai.Kawah gunung berapi pun dia boleh jual walhal the country ni jual ikan je.Minyak pun takda but tourists dtg tak kira sejuk ke apa..tak kira siang tu malam malam tu siang. Time winter pun ramai tourists sebab nak tengok northern lights tu.

Very creative people.Msia could do a lot more actually.
