- Most bridges are one lane only -I'm sure this saves lots of money - not sure it would work in North America - we are too egotistical and would cause too many accidents
- The roads have no shoulders -another good way to save money
- Skyr is eaten as a dessert or snack -we've been eating it as breakfast
- Censorship is not like in North America!! Songs on the radio use words we would censor - like the N word, the F word, the motherF word... see I'm censoring myself as to not offend anyone who may read my post! Not so in Iceland! It was quite refreshing!!
- There are a gazillion waterfalls
- When entering a road, there is usually a map
- Waiters don't bother you in restaurants. They let you eat in peace.
- Washrooms are very private. They are always like little rooms - no big cracks that people can see you.
- Texting/cellphones are used quite a bit while driving - kind of scary when your driver is never looking in front!
- There are lots of funny signs
- Road signs are very different. I've seen 2 stop signs - rest are yields - again, not sure this would work in North America - everyone is busier than the next and has to go first...
- Hotels and guesthouses don't use top sheets in the beds - just a comforter
- Tons of "blindheads" - this is where you go up a hill and and you get a blind spot at the top - it's scary - You have no idea what's ahead!
This is a blog about my travels. I'm not a great writer but hope you will enjoy nonetheless!
