Things to know about when visiting Iceland:

 * Iceland is very expensive! But it's probably worth it.
 * Its sea food is world renowned: //harðfiskur// (//Dried fish and Butter//)
 * The best time to visit is between June and August (Warmer temperatures, longer days,better sightseeing: Whales.)
 * If you don't want to spend all your money on board, Iceland has many Hostels to accomodate you (Book in advance!)
 * Hot water smells like rotten eggs (Molten lava releases hydrogen sulfide into the water)
 * However, the water is completely safe to drink!
 * Asthmatics welcome: Iceland has the cleanest air in the world.

Drew & Greg's Top Places to Visit:

 * Reykjavik: Iceland's beautiful capital city. It's chock full of chic cafes, nightclubs, national parks, restaurants. It's Iceland's cultural hub.


 * Blue Lagoon: Unique geothermal lake that stays warm no matter the temperature. It's kept warm by lava and is beneficial for the skin


 * Geysir: A hotspring in South Iceland that gave geysers of the world their name. A vastly unrestricted area in which you can basically get as close as you wish to an active geyser.

Where to stay? We recommend the Reykjavik Backpackers Hostel. It's relatively cheap (approx $20 per night) and is surprisingly luxurious. It has TV's, Wifi, and a BBQ area. Aimed towards the young and adventurous.
 * Skogar Museum: Take a step back in time! An open air museum that features reconstructed Icelandic buildings that vividly show you the history of Iceland. Gives you a look at what people were like back in the day.
