I've fell in love with the country of Iceland and want to go there really badly... It feels like a little part of my heart is missing because I haven't had a chance to go there yet. Heck, I think Iceland stole my whole heart away. I'm going to try to convince my parents to let me go there next summer.
This is an answer from one of my Yahoo Answers that I wrote:
"I also want to go to Iceland really badly, here is a bit of advice from myself. (The prices are in Canadian dollars)
It is not overly expensive there, but the transport is quite a lot of money. When renting a car, expect to pay over 80$ and public transit, for one bus ticket, I think would be around 2-3$. Their currency is the Icelandic Krona, which is around 117 Canadian Dollars. You can exchange money to Icelandic Krona in most banks and the airport. In big cities, such as their capital, you can also use Euros.
For attractions, Iceland is a very scenic country with active volcanoes and icebergs at the same time. There are many gorgeous waterfalls and natural parks, along with a few historical sites. Some popular activities and places to visit are:
The Blue Lagoon, which is a huge geothermal hot spring that has special healing abilities, apparently very healthy for your skin. The cool thing is that if you go to the Blue Lagoon in the wintertime you can relax in a huge hot-tub like thing while staring at snow-covered mountains... It's really awesome.
The Golden Circle tour includes Iceland's most famous waterfall, Gullfoss. You can see the rainbow sometimes and it looks really nice. If you Google Search it, there are some really nice snapshots of the waterfall.
Animals like Icelandic horsies are REALLY CUTE and you can go horseback riding on them. There's this stable where you can rent a horse for a day and ride it around Iceland to tour! There are also these really cute puffins that you can see flying around sometimes.
In the capital of Reykjavik, there are nice shops for clothing and also concerts and restaurants. They have an interesting menu of foods, but I suggest you don't ask what the food is and eat it first, because they have food such as fermented shark and singed ram's head. They also have skyr, which is like a yoghurt cheese ice cream thing that looks really yummy.
They also have really pretty fjords that you should search up. The Eastern fjords look really pretty and you could probably just spend the whole day staring at them and snapping some photos.
As for weather, its around 15 degrees Celsius during the summertime and -5 in the winters. During the summer, they have 22 hours of daylight and during the winter 4 hours of daylight, which is pretty unique."
All of that is true, at least I think it is, and YES I really want to go to Iceland in the summer of 2012.
