Glad you enjoyed it. Did you visit other places in Iceland or just Reykjavik?

@@runningcountries not really, blue lagoon etc was closed so our trips got cancelled due to the Volcano. We intend to go back in summer in a couple of years and hire a car, so we can do as much as possible 👍

You should! Will you only stay in Reykjavik or will you also visit other parts of Iceland?

January

Hythe is on the south coast of England. Glad that you enjoyed the video!

Well, I live in a town in CO that doesn’t want a lot of tourists…want the town to remain small, etc. That said, they have been inundated with retiring Texans and are mostly okay with it. I was in a place in Washington State out on the peninsula who had big signs saying ‘tourists go home!’

Thanks Dan - glad that you enjoyed the video!

Iceland is a popular place to visit. Where are you coming from @traveldude1621?

Thank you!

Thank you!

I enjoyed my time in Iceland. There is lots to see and do in Reykjavik.

I’m sure that a lot has changed since 1975. Iceland is a very popular tourist destination now. Where in Europe did you enjoy visiting?

It was really cold in January - and felt even colder because of the wind. It should be warmer in April. Iceland is one of the safest countries in the world to visit

​@@runningcountriesEin Freund von mir hat im vergangenen Jahr Island besucht. Er sagte mir, dass Island ziemlich teuer ist und wir es uns nicht leisten können. Ist Island für Ausländer sehr teuer?

@ashishkuriakose2450 - unfortunately that’s true, Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Where are you from?

It has to do with the shutter speed of the camera, they wouldnt' have been flickering in real life.

Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed the video

Thank you, glad that you enjoyed the video!

I’m sure that it must have changed a lot since then. What was it like when you were there?

The fish and chips in Iceland are delicious! They are the best that I’ve ever had!

@@runningcountries I lived in yorkshire for 59 years where I ate Icelandic haddock straight off the boat.. Battered and deep fried in beef dripping... I am not a fan of cod. When I worked in Leeds I ate Icelandic haddock every day for 18 months. Now I live inthe US (Wisconsin), and the only fish I have found that is in the same class was in Portsmouth New Hampshire at a 'British pub' which has since closed... I will fly to Yorkshire this spring just for the fish and chips....though I will tell my UK family that I am there to see them. The batter should be only flour and water and a pinch pf salt..NOT breaded. Here on the great lakes, they eat PERCH which is a 'coarse' fish in England and nobody would eat that. It's ok as field fertilizer!

Interesting! I haven’t had much freshwater fish. Does perch have a lot of bones? How do they serve it? Is it poached?

@@runningcountries I have never (never will) eaten perch (A boney coarse fish), but all these Wisconsinites rave about it, especially the ones from the South of the US who eat anything ... I actually spend $4,000 just to fly to Yorkshire twice a year for fresh Icelandic haddock cooked Yorkshire style... Flour and water batter, deep fried in beef dripping. In Canada I was told (in an ersatz 'British' fish shop), that dripping is ILLEGAL in Canada and they cook it in used Chinese oil ! Yorkshire gets it's Icelandic fish in ice but not frozen... ps London fish and chips are mostly cod and are rubbish... Cod flesh is full of worms and fish shops put them in fresh water overnight until the worms come out. I can't get to Yorkshire right now coz her bloody cat is terminally ill.... Drat !

It’s good to visit somewhere different though. It’s the short days in winter that would make living in Iceland difficult for me I think

Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed the video. I just subscribed to your channel too

Yes, it’s a really cool looking building!

It was around zero Celsius. They have geothermal heating under the streets in central Reykjavik to keep them free of snow and ice during winter

Glad that you enjoyed it!

What an incredible city! I compared this automatically to many cities in the U.S. and we "fell short" by far! Are you sorry that you left?

@@PlumasCounty-nq8kk Not at all, I love the USA also.

@@PlumasCounty-nq8kk No, I’m not sorry that I left. I love the U.S.A. Also.
