Iceland/Reykjavik

[Hibbertinho]

I'm going to the Secret Solstice Festival - it's in Reykjavik, Iceland, during the summer solstice.

I was wondering if any bluenose globetrotters/people local to the area would have any advice for a poor twenty-something to do when I'm out there? I'm reading lonely planet guides and stuff but they're all about 'finding yourself' in a lagoon etc...

I'll leave it open to the supermarket jokes.

Grab a hot dog at the hot dog stand Baejarins bestu near Reykjavik harbour, reputed to be among the world's best hot dogs, they're certainly good!

Take a trip to the top of Hallgrimskirkja to get a great view of Reykjavik.

~60% off booze in the airport. And alcohol didn't get legalised until late 80's so I hear they're making up for lost time.

I dunno if three days of sunlight will be like a mad never-ending party... or just three days of the feeling you get when the sun comes up at the end of a mad one - 'incessant come-down mode'.

My mate the Skydiver went living there, had to leave in a hurry after Dominoing a load of Hells Angels Bikes during a drunken stumble.

They were gonna leave anyway as His Mrs was going round the bend, whilst he was out at work they were cleaning the outside of the block they were living in with those nail things, 3 months of rat-a-tat-tat-tat made her start to go a bit loopy.

....daughter Dr Eggs went a few months ago and loved it. Food was great, lots of fish. Bitterly cold over there, though, although i expect it's warmer now.
