Well, I live in a town in CO that doesn’t want a lot of tourists…want the town to remain small, etc. That said, they have been inundated with retiring Texans and are mostly okay with it. I was in a place in Washington State out on the peninsula who had big signs saying ‘tourists go home!’

One had to stay over in Reykjavik when Iceland Air was $99 each way to London or Amsterdam....Clean and boring Capital.. Everything closed at 7pm, take away food only after that...like visiting Iowa in the middle of February. AND insult to injury only 2 hotels to choose from and meters on the heaters, special coins bough from the desk to deposit, cost over 10 dollars i n '75 money to keep the room 60. Never took Iceland air again

The gallery is amazing and the paintings are beautiful by well-known and famous artists, but I wished that you would stand next to these paintings for a while instead of this unreasonable speed, and if you were in a hurry, at least if you had filmed a video calmly and slowly for some of these paintings, at least we would have understood something.

@SunofYork3 ай бұрын
@@runningcountries I lived in yorkshire for 59 years where I ate Icelandic haddock straight off the boat.. Battered and deep fried in beef dripping... I am not a fan of cod. When I worked in Leeds I ate Icelandic haddock every day for 18 months. Now I live inthe US (Wisconsin), and the only fish I have found that is in the same class was in Portsmouth New Hampshire at a 'British pub' which has since closed... I will fly to Yorkshire this spring just for the fish and chips....though I will tell my UK family that I am there to see them. The batter should be only flour and water and a pinch pf salt..NOT breaded. Here on the great lakes, they eat PERCH which is a 'coarse' fish in England and nobody would eat that. It's ok as field fertilizer!

@@runningcountries I have never (never will) eaten perch (A boney coarse fish), but all these Wisconsinites rave about it, especially the ones from the South of the US who eat anything ... I actually spend $4,000 just to fly to Yorkshire twice a year for fresh Icelandic haddock cooked Yorkshire style... Flour and water batter, deep fried in beef dripping. In Canada I was told (in an ersatz 'British' fish shop), that dripping is ILLEGAL in Canada and they cook it in used Chinese oil ! Yorkshire gets it's Icelandic fish in ice but not frozen... ps London fish and chips are mostly cod and are rubbish... Cod flesh is full of worms and fish shops put them in fresh water overnight until the worms come out. I can't get to Yorkshire right now coz her bloody cat is terminally ill.... Drat !

I've visited Iceland years ago, it's great to say you visited once but couldn't go again. Definitely got a beautiful Scandinavian look to it, of course. I'm English though and much prefer old British architecture and especially the old English countrysides style. Victorian and Tudor are my faves & these Icelandic ones were too colourful for me
