Ooh, this is exciting! We're almost at 100! Can I quote just a fragment of Emily D.? <BR>100. "Beauty crowds me"...but that's the only thing that does.

I went to Iceland in 85. Even then, a can of coke from a drugstore was like $2.75. I must say, the most beautiful women in the world made me forget about my fleeting dollars fast.

Dan,<BR><BR> Of course, if you even look at one of those beautiful women, you probably get bonked by one of those big Icelandic men! They are bit protective, which is not a problem - just warning you.

Thanks for the tip, but my wife who I met after my trip, would bop me even harder.

Blue Lagoon. Great Restaurants??? Things have changed since I lived there for three years 72-75. It is a beautiful and very different country. Will have to go back for a return visit one of these days. Have they changed the drinking/driving laws? Surprised nobody mentioned the fact that if you have car keys in hand and walk toward your car you can be arrested for drunk driving, given a test ,thir choice not yours,and if guilty face severe penalties.

Topping for Tracey.

Someone asked about seafood restaurants- Naust is great, and so is the Pearl which I'm surprised no one has mentioned. It has a glass dome ceiling and the food is great.

We will be at Reykjavik for one day off a cruise ship. What shuld we try to see and what is there to buy? Loved your 100 things thread. Did not know there were so many things to do in Iceland.<BR>Thanks for your help.<BR>Victoria

`<BR>Up for Helen. Put your concerns re: earthquakes/volcanoes aside. Rather take a trip to Iceland and see for yourself.

The Black Castles at Lake Myvatin.<BR>Seeing President Vigdis Finnbogadottir walking about talking to people perfectly naturally and with no armed gorillas protecting her. Seeing icebergs for the first time, I hadn't realised that they were so beautiful or that they were blue.

Seeing icebergs for the first time, I hadn't realised that they were so beautiful or that they were blue. On my first trip, flying over Surtsey while it was erupting. It was a very dangerous thing for the pilot to do and he had to make an emergency landing in Glasgow. It was an unforgettable sight though!

Victoria, hope this isn't too late--<BR>If you only have one day, um... run away from your cruise ship and don't come back for a week? <BR>Seriously, though, it would depend, obviously, on your own interests, but I'd suggest a horseback ride/Blue Lagoon combination followed by a Viking dinner with singing. But if you just stay within Reykjavik, be sure to go to the top of the church tower and through the park that is by the city hall and to the shops that sell lovely woolies and the hot dog stand by the harbor!<BR>Have a wonderful trip.
