[Podie]

Iceland... wow... fantastic place... scences like this...



and like this...



were just amazing... but getting there..! was done liek this!





SUPER JEEP! - 44 inch tyres...! Bloody loud... and over the snow and off road was just a riot! Tyre off the rim? No problem... bit of lighter fluid, ignite it... and it pops back on!

Although.. think I prefered dog-power to horsepower...



Fantastic place...

Given that the Icelandic are a bunch of lunatics... I'll be amazed if they do. It snows... and out come the super jeeps and the skidoos... and the Icelandic play! The national pastime seems to be "go out in the snow, until you get stuck... dig it out.. and repeat!"

Wife flew me out to Iceland as a surprise birthday pressie last year - the people are bonkers, but when you see where they live it's not surprising!
If you do go you will no doubt be told a 'joke', (I think they only have the one joke) :-
Q: What do you do if you get lost in a forest in Iceland -
A: Stand up!
This is usually followed by the Icelander falling about laughing, and the visitor looking a bit ill at ease!

Yep... we had that. Really confused us, since we were in a pine forest at the time (!) but they are
