I visited your beautiful country few years back...Just a few of my memories of that trip

Strokkur, blowing it's top...It's more famous older brother Geysir has pretty much stopped now, but Strokkur is very much active..very impressive.

rooftop Reykjavik...the most enchanting capital city I've ever been to.

Reykjavik kind of looks like the city of Stavanger (here of course :P)   Also the same size, Reykjavik is arround 100 000 right?

Stavanger is deffinately a bit less enchanting though.

Great pics it's really a wonderful city, i also noticed that Reykjavik has quite a lot of modern buildings... is there also something like an "old town" in the centre? :)
