Skiing

If Apres Ski was an olympic event I would bring home gold for Britain, but as it is, I've given up coming down mountains on my bottom. It's undignified. I think the Icelandic currency is having problems so you might not need ?50bn as previously reported.


Enjoy.

We were there 3 weeks ago and there wasn't any snow for skiing, we went past one of the areas they use and it definately wasn't up and running. Last winter they didn't have enough snow to open, but try this site it might help http://www.visiticeland.com/infosearch.asp?cat_id=222&area=&type=5&subtype=5.10.0&keyword=Keyword


There is a glacier where we went snowmobiling (really good fun) but we didn't see any facilities for skiing...


There is a tourist information office on the corner of Skolastraeti and Bankastraeti with a very charming lady who's surname is Smith (can't remember her first name) she helped us organise the snowmobiling, our horse riding (Mr G on a horse is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen) and the blue lagoon (a must - so bonkers!).


We loved it - such a beautiful country, and really cool people - make sure you join the Friday / Saturday night pub crawl. They know how to drink! But freezing cold and v windy so take a hat that will stay on.


You're welcome to borrow our lonely planet!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
