Wiz 0 Posted November 16, 2010 Last week me and my gf spent a few days in Iceland to visit the country. It's one of the most amazing coubntries I've seen, so I took a few pics for you guys! Unfortunately I only brought 2 watches with me: a gen Seawolf Avenger Ti, and a rep Rolex 1675 GMT, so you'll see a lot of the same 2 watches, but the other pics are also nice Leaving from Charles-de-Gaulle on a rainy morning wearing the GMT. Targeted marketing...? ^_^ Thingvellir national park. Marks the crest of the mid-atlatic ridge and home of the first parliament in history. Had to rent a 4x4 because some of the roads are actually tracks :dunno: Geysir, the location that gave its name to what you can see there: geysers Gullfoss: means Golden Falls in Icelandic. At this time of the year it's mostly frozen, but pretty impressive anyway. On the road again! You can't drive 2 miles without seeing ponies! Hveragerdi, the city of flowers. It's pretty amazing to see greenhouses everywhere when the temperature goes down to -20°C! These are heated by hot water from volcanic hot springs. Reykjavik, Tjömin lake. Café de Paris Example of US influence: parking meter. Example of Norwegian influence: corrugated iron wall. Whaling boats. Not so active anymore. And back on the roads (and tracks). Black sand beaches. Actually black & white because of snow. Blue Lagoon, the famous geothermal spa. Just for that it's worth the trip to Iceland Hamborgarabúlla Tómasar makes the best burgers in town, and maybe even tyhe best I ever ate. I guess it's not a surprise if all the foreign burger companies have left Iceland! That's pretty much it, hope you enjoyed the pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted November 16, 2010 I once asked an Icelandic acquaintance of mine what there was to do in Iceland. He replied: "It depends on the time of year. In summer there's fishing and, of course, we have the most beautiful girls in the world, so there's also lots of fucking." "In winter, ice seals up the harbours so there's no fishing...."

ebzen02 341 Posted November 16, 2010 How cool! I'd love to go but it does look a bit like the moon lol That is what I find so beautiful about Iceland. It is the quiet desolation that is so visually poetic. It's lunar terrain is majestic! I fell in love with Iceland after I saw the Sigur Ros movie..Oh and every chick I saw in that video was hot..even the fat ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted November 16, 2010 Hmmm... I think I need to book a lads trip to do some extreme sports, glacier 4x4ing, and check out some hot icelandic girls... :dunno: The added bonus is that I love Bjork's music too! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiz 0 Posted November 16, 2010 Thanks a lot guys, it was wonderfull indeed. The countryside really feels like you're at one end of the world, and Reyjavick is a chaming little town where you eat remarkabely well (and not only burger!). We had dinner at a restaurant called "The Fish Company" where both chefs were awarded best chefs of Iceland. All the dishes were incredible, and it wasn't as pricey as we thought. About, the gf is stll wearing her banged up Nixon Siren, so there is not to photograph there The lagoon is 2/3 sea water and 1/3 fresh water coming from the volcano hot springs.
