THIS COUNTRY IS RANKED AS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE WORLD FOR VISITORS SO TODAY
I'M GONNA SEE IF I CAN STICK WITHIN MY $100 BUDGET WITHIN ONE DAY. THIS IS ICELAND. HEY,
WELCOME TO ICELAND! WELCOME TO ICELAND! THIS IS THE OFFICIAL CURRENCY OF ICELAND IT'S CALLED THE
ICELANDIC KRONA. $100 WOULD BE EQUAL TO ABOUT 13 600 KRONA THESE ARE THE BANKNOTES YOU'VE GOT AT
10 000 WHICH IS EQUAL TO 73 DOLLARS 1 000 THEN IS $7.30 AND THEN A 500 WOULD BE EQUAL TO ABOUT
THREE DOLLARS AND 60 CENTS THIS IS CRAZY BUT THE SUN DOESN'T SET UNTIL ALMOST 11 P.M THIS
TIME OF YEAR I TAKE THIS FERRY FROM THE MAINLAND TO JAIME ISLAND THAT MEANS HOME IN ICELANDIC 14
THIS FERRY IS FULL OF VISITORS AND THE ISLAND IS LOCATED ABOUT FOUR NAUTICAL MILES OFF THE
ICELANDIC COAST IT TAKES ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE BUT I'M IN NO RUSH BECAUSE THESE VIEWS ARE
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE THE FERRY RIDE WAS REALLY NICE I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU STAND OUTSIDE SO YOU
CAN ENJOY ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SCENERY EVEN THOUGH IT'S COLD IT'S STILL WORTH IT
IF YOU GOOGLE ICELAND YOU'LL SEE EVERYONE GOING TO THE BLUE LAGOON WHICH IS A SUPER UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
BUT TODAY I WANT TO GET OFF THE BEATEN PATH AND GO TO THIS TINY ISLAND YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF
AND THE BLUE LAGOON CAN COST YOU A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO USE YOUR CAR RENTAL WILL BE A FEW
HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FOOD SO YES THIS COUNTRY IS
EXPENSIVE BUT LET'S SEE ABOUT THIS ISLAND UPON ARRIVING I FIND THIS SMALL LITTLE BAKERY AND
BECAUSE THE WEATHER IS COLD I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO EAT SOMETHING I ORDER THIS PARMESAN PRETZEL
WHICH SHE TELLS ME IS FAMOUS HERE AND A CAPPUCCINO SHE GIVES ME THE PRETZEL WITH THIS DIP AND SAYS
THAT IT IS FAMOUS AT HER BAKERY THE DIP INCLUDES SOUR CREAM CREAM CHEESE AND GARLIC THE PRICE 10
I'LL BE HONEST THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY TASTY I'M NOT REALLY CRAZY ABOUT THE CREAM CHEESE MIX BUT
THIS PARMESAN PRETZEL IS ACTUALLY REALLY DELICIOUS NEXT IT'S TIME TO WALK AND EXPLORE THIS CRAZY
ISLAND WHICH IS HOME TO JUST 4 000 PEOPLE I HEAR THERE IS A FAMOUS BIRD HERE CALLED PUFFINS A
MILLION OF THEM COME TO THE ISLAND EVERY SUMMER SO I GO AND TRY AND FIND SOME BUT AS I'M WALKING
I FIND THIS LOCAL ICELANDIC MAN AND ASK HIM WHERE I CAN SEE THE PUFFINS FROM HE SAYS IT'S
A ONE HOUR WALK AWAY SO HE OFFERS TO DRIVE ME AND EVEN CALLS HIS WIFE TO COME GIVE ME A TOUR
SO THIS PART IS PARTICULARLY YOUNG THE DOWNTOWN IS OLDER OKAY I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FRIENDLY AND
NICE THESE PEOPLE ARE SHE DRIVES ME TO THIS SMALL HOME THAT WAS BUILT BY HER FATHER
IT'S BUILT ON A CLIFF AND IT'S A HUNTING LODGE FOR HUNTERS TO REST AND HIDE SO THAT THEY COULD
CAPTURE THESE BIRDS YES THEY ACTUALLY EAT PUFFINS AND APPARENTLY THEY TASTE DELICIOUS I SPEND AN
HOUR WITH THIS LOCAL COUPLE WHO ARE SO FRIENDLY AND INSIST ON SHOWING ME MORE OF THE ISLAND I
CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I JUST GOT IN SOMEONE'S CAR AND THEY OFFERED TO DRIVE ME TO SEE THE PUFFINS
PEOPLE IN ICELAND BUT ESPECIALLY THIS SMALL ISLAND ARE SO FRIENDLY AFTER I SAY GOODBYE IT'S TIME
TO HAVE SOME LUNCH I FIND THIS RESTAURANT NEAR THE PORT BURGERS AT THIS RESTAURANT ARE LIKE 25
AND I'M CRAVING SOMETHING WARM ANYWAY SO INSTEAD I GET THE UNLIMITED SOUP AND SALAD COMBO WHICH IS
GREAT BECAUSE YOU CAN EAT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT I TRY THE CHICKEN SOUP AND THE CARROT SOUP AND
GET A FEW PLATES OF SALAD 15 THIS IS GREAT SINCE IT'S UNLIMITED BECAUSE IT TOTALLY FILLS ME UP THIS
ISLAND APPARENTLY HAS VOLCANOES ON IT EL'S FELL VOLCANO ACTUALLY ERUPTED IN THE 70S IT WAS A MAJOR
EVENT AS PEOPLE HAD TO ESCAPE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BY BOAT BUT THE VOLCANO CREATED MORE
LAND FOR THE PEOPLE NOW IT'S TIME TO HIKE UP THIS VOLCANO THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS
I'VE EVER SEEN CAUSE YOU CAN SEE RED ROCKS BLACK ROCKS GREENERY AND BLUE WATER I SWEAR IT FEELS
LIKE I'M IN A POSTCARD OR A DESKTOP BACKGROUND THE PRICE FREE IT'S CRAZY TO IMAGINE IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE NIGHT HOW ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE HOMES BEHIND ME HAD TO EVACUATE BECAUSE THIS VOLCANO STARTED TO
ERUPT THE THING ABOUT ICELAND'S WEATHER IS THAT IT CAN TOTALLY VARY BY THE HOUR ONE MINUTE IT'S SUNNY
THEN IT'S COLD AND WINDY AND RAINY THE VOLCANO HIKE IS QUITE UPHILL AND HAPPENS TO BE FREEZING
BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID IT BECAUSE JUST LOOK AT THESE INCREDIBLE VIEWS NOW I WALK BACK DOWN AND
I NEED TO WARM UP SO I GO BACK TO THAT SAME BAKERY AND GET THIS HOT CHOCOLATE THE PRICE THREE DOLLARS
THAT IS REALLY GOOD THIS IS HONESTLY ONE OF THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATES I'VE EVER HAD IF NOT THE BEST
IT'S VERY RICH AND CREAMY AND I WASN'T EXPECTING IT TO NECESSARILY BE ANYTHING SPECIAL
BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH IT PROBABLY THE BEST THING I'VE PURCHASED ALL DAY IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE
FOR ME IT'S COLD BUT FOR SO MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE ISLAND THIS IS CONSIDERED
A NICE SUMMER DAY YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN T-SHIRTS AND EVEN ONE GUY WITH HIS SHIRT OFF I HAPPEN TO BE
HERE DURING THEIR ANNUAL FAMILY AND MUSIC FESTIVAL IT'S A HUGE EVENT FOR THE PEOPLE OF ICELAND
IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE COACHELLA OF ICELAND EXCEPT THEY ARE HUGE ON FAMILIES HERE TOO FAMILIES COME
AND BRING THEIR KIDS AND ALL THEIR FURNITURE AND HANG OUT IN TENTS ALL WEEKEND TOGETHER DRINKING
AND WATCHING MUSIC IT'S KIND OF A SHAME I'M NOT STAYING FOR THIS BUT IT'S TOTALLY RANDOM THAT I
HAPPEN TO BE ON THE ISLANDS AS THEY'RE GETTING READY FOR THIS BY NOW IT'S PAST 8 P.M I KNOW IT
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT DARK BUT IT IS TIME FOR DINNER I HEAD TO THE MAIN STREET
AND GO TO THIS RESTAURANT CALLED GOT GOT MEANS GOOD IN ICELANDIC THIS SEEMS LIKE THE MOST HIP
RESTAURANT IN TOWN AND I'M LOVING THE VIBE THE COCKTAILS LOOK GREAT BUT I'M GONNA BE A BIT BORING
AND GET THIS LEMONGRASS TEA WHICH IS FOUR DOLLARS THEN I ORDER THE FISH OF THE DAY WHICH IS CALLED
LING BY THE WAY DON'T GOOGLE LING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK THAT APPETIZING AT ALL
DOLLARS WE GET THIS DESSERT PLATTER WHICH COSTS ABOUT TEN DOLLARS AND IT'S PERFECT BECAUSE NOW
I HAVE FOURTEEN DOLLARS LEFT IN MY BUDGET TO GET BACK TO THE MAINLAND OF ICELAND RIGHT NOW IT IS
10 30 P.M WHICH IS SO CRAZY I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH SUNLIGHT LIKE AT THIS HOUR I'M USED TO MOST
PLACES WHERE IT'S DARK BY LIKE 8 P.M OR 9 P.M AT THE LATEST IT'S SUPER WEIRD TO SEE IT BE SO
LIGHT RIGHT NOW AT 10 30. UM IT'S DEFINITELY BIZARRE I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S TIME FOR BED
YET SO LET ME JUST SAY I DID IT I WAS WITHIN MY BUDGET BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BECAUSE ICELAND
IS A SUPER EXPENSIVE COUNTRY BUT IF YOU DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
