Yes, it is me;
The king of King of Africans. The Imam of the Arabs. The Brahmin Puja of the subcontinent. The true successor of Montezuma. The obedient servant of Princess Meghan, the future duchess of Cambridge of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The crown Pimp of The one and only Fort Valley State University. Here, if you will, my words.
I finally took my vacation with a friend to Iceland as mentioned before last month. My thoughts on this trip.
Iceland, while very much being in the new world, definitely had an Old European feel to it. The flight was relatively inexpensive. Even after upgrading both my friend and I's class at the gate, a round trip ticket for the both of us was still a fair bit less than 1500 all in. The inexpensive travel there was completely offset by the expenses of things there.
We spent a week(well 9 days) by city in Laugardalur in a nice 1 bedroom apartment. Total damage was 110$ a night. Since we were outside the city we also rented a Malibu which was about 50 or so a day. Eating out, museums, gas and everything else was completely overpriced and expensive. I understand its a secluded nation, but the prices really were insane. Not a lot of ethnic minorities visible either. We went to an Indian restaurant, and the staff there made a big deal because apparently we could pass for Indians
They then proceeded to charge us 20$+ for a very uninsipired Biryani meal which would be 10 at the most here.
Another thing is that everything stinks here. Not in a "
This place kinda sucks" florida way either. The physical place stinks. They say its from the sulfur hot springs that make the heat on the island, but whatever it is the smell really hits you when you get there. Got into my friends hair and I am still smelling it
All in while I would
NOT go back. Iceland was a nice getaway for a spring holiday. They are trying to position themselves as a nice alternative to the Caribbean. Expense wise its a little more once you get there, but flying there is super cheap. Also the sights are pretty amazing.
Pictures incoming.
