The church that u found it’s called hallgrímskirkja my dad designed and made the cross on the top on some things inside the church. I know weird flex but okey, just an interesting fact lol
Pro Tip: When shopping for groceries in Iceland I highly recommend going to either Bonus or Kronan. Both are easy to recognise because they are yellow. Much cheaper than the other supermarkets. Bonus is basically the Icelandic equivalent of ALDI. Keep up the great work Jess and Stephen, much love from the Central Coast, NSW.
Are the salaries in Iceland much higher to compensate for what seems like very expensive groceries? I don't see how a typical family could pay those prices for their food every week otherwise.
HappyHandyLife Other things like housing or internet are really cheap but other costs of living are twice to three times of "normal" places. People in Iceland have 2-3 jobs to afford their living. And nobody is eating at restaurants anyway.
Me and my boyfriend went to Iceland last June, and we went to an amazing restaurant, very small and cozy, in the center of Reykjavík, where they actually served soup INSIDE a big bread bowl, there was no dishes to make at the end except for the spoon. It is called Svarta Kaffið and deserves every 5 star we've given it! The people there were so nice and I've never eaten a better soup!
1. Iceland is so serene.. like my exact idea of the idyllic weather, unending drizzle, leaden skies, just an overcast day many would mistake for downcast hehe 2. The fact that they were in conversation throughout the video (first time checking this channel out) makes it feel like you're actually hanging out with them.. awesome format!
going to 10/11 was the worst place you could go to, to show prices of basic things it's the most overpriced "grocery store" in Iceland you should've gone to Bónus, Krónan or Fjarðarkaup but never 10/11
@@longballplease it depends on how you look at it Reykjavik is super expensive but going to the smaller towns like Akureyri where I'm from it's a little bit more manageable but going to Bónus and paying $22 for 3 chicken breasts is a little insane I've been living in Washington for a year now and going to the grocery store with $50 buys food for me and my husband for a whole week and it doesn't in Iceland it maybe gets you through 2 days
Been to Iceland twice in the last 4 years. It’s a beautiful country, great food, great beer.. maybe a bit expensive but it’s well worth it. Watching this brings back memories..
The weird or bitter aftertaste you felt after eating skyr was because of the sweetener.. you actually bought a sugar-free one with artificial sweetener
Living here in Iceland I evade the 1011 store like the plague. It´s on some things like soft drinks about 140 % more than what I pay at lower cost places like Bónus, Krónan and Super1. For the rest. Also bloody murder.
Hello, how are you? I want to get to know a girl from Iceland with the intention of getting married. I am a Syrian refugee. I live in Lebanon. I am a man and my body is strong
Exactly what I just noted. Very common/popular is most major cities I thought. Funny how the guy even described the bisque as 'leftover bits cooked together' or something similar 😄
Thank you lovely young couple for the important info on Iceland and where to eat . You both made the food looks delicious . Thank you for sharing your video with us . I enjoyed it very much . I see a perfect tour guide .God bless .
I'm so shocked that this popped on my feed this evening because I was JUST at Cafe Loki this afternoon and loved the rye bread ice cream! Nice coincidence! Great vid!
@@caterinarandom8410 Stop comparing your home country , you do it far too often, you are not in Australia . Almost like, my country is better than yours.

who goes to Iceland and gets fish and chips? I'm Icelandic and I never understood that concept other than being a tourist trap as fish and chips has never been a standard Icelandic dish ever and I don't think you could get fish and chips 15 years ago except in very few places.
You know it's a tourist trap when the side they have is mushy peas - which is ONLY a British thing and anyone who lives in a commonwealth should know this - and the only sauce they have is remoulade, which is French/Creole. Super "authentic" Icelandic cuisine, lol.
@@angussoutter7824 Yeah when Icelanders go to the UK, they order fish and chips. If we order fish and chips in Iceland, it is more like we are ordering international fast food not something that we consider Icelandic LOL
Whoa ~$20 for sea-side fish & chips... ~$32 for lobster soup & fish skewer ~$19 for the open sandwiches (each?) ~$11 for the rye ice-cream (not to forget the ~$7 coffees) Iceland certainly is the splurge of a lifetime kind of country...!
Yep it is a splurge to come - but the country is SOOO beautiful it's hard not to resist a visit. We just siggest camping and in the next videos we show you how we did Iceland on a budget!
yeah how stupid are your iceland has to import nearly anything is in the middle of now where but ppl like you are so full of the sewlf that the can think straight or to stupid to now any basic stuff a the ppl do work for no living wages like you like it and not all destination are for the cheap but ppl like like you are to stupid and now anything but the hear only void in there head
@@jordanaus75 Don´t have to, it has already been claimed :) That is danish remoulade, the yellow version with tumeric.

Guys I love that you've started to make food videos. You do so well at describing and I love how you discuss the flavors together. I need to try that fish skewer and ice cream right MEOW!!! -Ash
they went to the most expensive store in iceland to show normal prices..now iceland is expensive....but they could have gotten cheaper groceries. loved the video though and hope you had a good time in iceland!
Thought it was initially just going to be another travel vlogg but it was actually very insightful. It made me feel extremely hungry and I like that you did not ham it up but you were matter-of-fact with your assessment and mannerisms (particularly Jess ). Thank you for being down-to-earth, and not being over the top, so we can get a real idea and understanding.
I’m from Iceland but I moved to Denmark in July 2018 and seeing them eat lobster soup and skyr and all of that makes me miss Iceland more than anything I’ve ever missed😐💗😭😔
Thank you so much for this video, we just returned from Iceland and ate at the Seabaron. We enjoyed the lobster soup and fish skewer at your recommendation. IT WAS AMAZING! So much so, we ate there 2 times in 4 days. Keep up the awesome work you two, your energy is contagious.
I am scheduled to go to Iceland in June 2019, and online research only takes you so far - your videos and reviews are a perfect compliment to that and is giving me a great idea of what to see, where to eat, and how to explore Iceland - love the videos!
I just got back from a trip to Iceland yesterday and found certain things expensive and other things comparable to what I would pay in the US. Lodging was similar, food was pricey but not crazy. Of course it depends where you go. BTW, it was the best vacation ever, I highly recommend it. 👍
That fish n chip meal looked so yummy. New Zealanders love a good chip and those chips look really really yummy, actually all the food you've tried looks yummy (and definitely my cuppa tea). Great video and gotta add this country to my travel wish list 😍🥰❤👍
Oh guys u went to my favourite place for Lobster soup 😍 It's so yummy, they serve free black coffee and the price is not bad considering is Reykjavik :) Love this!
I was there in April. I found plenty of restaurants that had what they call “Specials of the day”. Some really good deals, especially at Indian restaurants.
I knew Icelabd is expensive,,, but the foods I ‘ve tried are all super delicious,,,, and also the tap water is yum yum… thank’s for sharing this video, it’s really awesome. Best regards to you both.
yea I thought the same. both that I would have bought two soups and that if I did not, my partner would definitely have given me the second (most likely the first) bite of lobster. Without me having to ask. And I him, if I had use of the spoon.
I just got back from Iceland....The best! Ended up have lunch in the Cafe Loki. Had the Balder...The mashed fish and herring were so good. The Rye bread ice cream was great. Our server was Alexandra, a recent arrival from Poland.I found the Loki to be a really nice place to have a coffee and grab lunch......Iceland itself was beautiful and the people the best. I'm already planning my next visit.
10-11 is one of the most expensive grocery stores here, I don't shop there unless everything else is closed and I have to get something that can't wait till the next day.
We’re going to Iceland this summer and I’m so excited. Your vlog was so helpful, as were all the comments. I can’t wait to see everything! Taste everything! The grocery store prices made me gasp, no lie. Geez.
I hope you guys went to the svarta kaffid for their famous mushroom soup! It has to be the most instagramable soup ever. Cool vid and way to explain how EXPENSIVE Iceland is
you have to! It is another planet! We want to go back in winter again and get lucky with the northern lights and also in the summer....it's just so expensive
That was the only place where the soup wasn't watery but it was still a rip off. Only a few spoonfuls of soup in the bread bowl and you have to beg for a refill like Oliver Twist.
not necessarily.. plummers are very high in demand around here and they still don't earn more than the usual person in germany for example.. electricity and water though is much cheaper
Average wage in Iceland is equivalent to $5,600 U.S. monthly. taxes are about 28% to 34% but you get education, health care, vacation and child care.. I pay 28% in the US and I make less than 1/2 of that average a month.
9:45 This is how different the prices are in my country: 1 litre water - 0,5$ RedBull - 1,4$ 1 litre milk - 0,7$ Cheese slices - 1,5$ Bread - 0,8$ Eggs - 1,5$ Soup packets - 0,4$ Pasta cups - 1$ (Everything approximately), We also have SKYR which is cheap.
So excited for all the Iceland vlogs! Travelled around the country last summer and it was absolutely amazing. Actually we had the warmest day ever in Iceland back then - 26 degrees and everyone were wearing shorts and t-shirts. We definitely weren't prepared for that kind of weather :P Also, ryebread is pretty much our main food source in Denmark. Like, we have it every single day for lunch. Usually with remoulade and some kind of cold cuts or fish. This video just made me crave it so much, and I'm so happy to be coming back home for a few days next month. Living in Amsterdam, and they have no such thing here.
26 is not the warmest day ever in Iceland. In the capital area maybe, but that's because the western part of Iceland doesnt get so warm. Maybe it was the hottest day this summer in Iceland. We had days here this summer with 26-29 °C in the north and east region. The record in Iceland is 31°C.
A great food vlog about Iceland and looks like you both had a good time. The lobster soup is not unique to Iceland. The French do it also and they call it Lobster Bisque. It’s the same as what you both had, a creamy, tomato soup with lobster broth (stock) and if you are lucky some lobster chunks. I’m from Scotland and I had a nice lobster bisque from a seafood bar in North Berwick harbour near Edinburgh. It was expensive at £6 a portion with a roll and butter. You can buy cans of lobster bisque in supermarkets across the UK but not as good as homemade. I loved the fish kebab. Haddock is also a popular fish in Scotland, it is more cod they eat in England. The fish and chips looked amazing too but quite a thin piece of cod you both had. Coffee at 7 aus$ is expensive and sometimes you can pay that for a latte or cappuccino in coffee shops in the UK. I had a cafe creme at train station in France and it was 4 euros - a smaller coffee than what you both had and gave the waitress a euro tip. The coffee is expensive in Iceland but coffee is also expensive in France and some places in the UK.
It was so nice to meet you in First-Grindelwald! We are very excited to head to Iceland next, thank you for your awesome videos! Safe journeys as you travel to Italy and beyond.
Going to Iceland next month and I could have done with you spending more time in the grocery store showing me products and prices. I find that interesting. Thanks for the video!
Great video! I went to Iceland last May and absolutely loved it! Cafe Loki was one of my first stops in Reykjavik and I tried that rotten shark before the rye bread ice cream 😆😂 Maybe not the best decision, but when in Iceland you gotta do as the Icelandics do! 😂 Keep up the great content!
"It reminds me of a seafood soup, with tomato, and it's creamy" Bisque, a lobster bisque lol. And is pickled mayonnaise not tar tar sauce?... Thanks for the video. Iceland is cute and cold, just how I like it😆 Wow their yogurt looks richer than Greek yogurt. The grilled fish is beautiful nom nom nom😋
I was about to say: Tartar sauce (mayo with pickle relish mixed in) is a universal accompaniment to fried fish in North America; you get it everywhere. It's not North America-only; I've seen frites (french fry/chips) stands in Brussels that list it along with their dozens of other condiment options. Is tartar sauce not a thing in Australia? Skyr's now readily available in North American groceries, although I don't remember seeing it as far back as this video.
wow looks so delicious! i wish you could ahve told us how much everything costs how much was the fish and chips and soup,how much was the rye ice cream,how much was the rye bread with fish on it?
we in Estonia have also quite sweet kinds of dark bread and we make a kind of mousse or soup out of it, it can consist also different dried fruits and we eat it with icecream or sourcream
Their breads and pastries are outstanding, even if they're a tad on the expensive side, i.e. like 1000 krona for a loaf of bread, that's $12 Australian!
So how expensive was the food? You mentioned the cost of the coffee, but.. I truly enjoyed this video! You two are so cute! I loved how you filmed this too! I felt as if I was with you!
Hello, how are you? I want to get to know a girl from Iceland with the intention of getting married. I am a Syrian refugee. I live in Lebanon. I am a man and my body is strong
Actually remoulade is a sauce by itself, its kinda similar to tartar sauce but not quite it has alot more different things in it, we eat it on everything in denmark also :)

About water in Iceland ! .many tourist buy water in bottle for high price, the tapwater is more clean than bottle water and it cost nothing, we wash our car with it and we flush the toilet with it ,such a waste on such wonderful water but we dont have anything else ;-)
The water im talking about is the cold water,not the hot water,you never drink the hotwater it got strange smell of sulfa,but its only in Reykjavik the capital.
yes!we just bought a bottle of water in the airport and we just refilled it from the tap for the duration of our stay in iceland and it is the most delicious water i've had in my life!
American here. Living back in the US makes me want to crawl over shards of glass just to have a good Australian coffee. Sure, we have overpriced hipster coffee shops and coffee machines here, but...it just isn't the same as having a flat white in Brisbane.
Great video, thank you! The pricing sounds about right by US standards where I live. If guys love seafood, you have got to to come to New England, if you haven’t already. Any of the major seaside cities, Bar Harbor, Booth Bay Harbor, Kennebunkport and Portland in Maine. Portsmouth, NH, and, my favorite, Boston, MA where are accent is similar to yours... Pahk your cah in the Hahvaad yahd.... lol. There’s also Cape Cod and the Islands of course. Then you have Newport and Jamestown in Rhode Island, Mystic and New Haven in Connecticut. There are so many more awesome spots, but I would be here all night listing them! Lobster soup, is lobster bisque here, also fish and clam chowder ( chowdah) is amazing, super thick and creamy goodness, ike nowhere else. Fish and chips? We’ve got those too, only our remoulade is called tartar ( tah-tah ) sauce, with ketchup or even salt and vinegar for the chips. Did I mention oysters....so good and fresh! Well, I hope you both are having a blast, I’d love to know if you’ve been or are planning to visit the US!
I'm loving the Iceland videos. Glad you're getting the hang of pronouncing Reykjavík now LOL. Hope your luggage will arriving soon. Ya, this video really makes me want to travel to Iceland just to try those foods.
LOL I live in Reykjavík and have never tried any of this. I do NOT by anything in 10-11 in Austurstræti, I have never tried a lobster soup (it is not - really - a traditional dish in Iceland...) I have never tried the fermented Shark and don´t like Svið (Google had no translation - it is lamb-head) Skyr is good - I advise you to buy the not stirred one and stir it yourself. Then you decide how much sugar and milk is necessary can also add blue-berries or strawberries if you want to. I am actually very picky about what I eat. 360 fish-species have been found around Iceland, but only 57 are usually caught (fished). Humar i.e. Lobster has been caught here; 1.892.855kg from jan.17 till today 15.9.2018. During the same time, 68.354.299kg of Haddock (Ýsa) and 446.610.105kg of Cod (Þorskur)

Well this is what happens when you go on vacation and buy one portion of food for 2 people. Funny stuff really.
yea I thought the same. both that I would have bought two soups and that if I did not, my partner would definitely have given me the second (most likely the first) bite of lobster. Without me having to ask. And I him, if I had use of the spoon.
lol
And?
I just got back from Iceland....The best! Ended up have lunch in the Cafe Loki. Had the Balder...The mashed fish and herring were so good. The Rye bread ice cream was great. Our server was Alexandra, a recent arrival from Poland.I found the Loki to be a really nice place to have a coffee and grab lunch......Iceland itself was beautiful and the people the best. I'm already planning my next visit.
10-11 is one of the most expensive grocery stores here, I don't shop there unless everything else is closed and I have to get something that can't wait till the next day.
We’re going to Iceland this summer and I’m so excited. Your vlog was so helpful, as were all the comments. I can’t wait to see everything! Taste everything! The grocery store prices made me gasp, no lie. Geez.
❤wow looks amazing specially the fish n chips.wid mayo enjjoy.
This video has rekindled my wish to visit Iceland. Thanks!
I was hoping you'd do a cost breakdown for the food.
Yeah, nah 😂. That would be smart
yea i watched the video expecting to see how expensive stuff is, as mentioned in the title...
I hope things go back to normal soon and we can all travel again!
Nice videos from you Guys, got stock watching your channel all night. You have been almost everywhere in world!
Great video to show the foods thank you, I go to Iceland on Friday for the first time very excited to try all different foods.
It’s weird after being to Iceland and then watching videos about Iceland, you literally see all the places you were. Especially Reykjavik.
I hope you guys went to the svarta kaffid for their famous mushroom soup! It has to be the most instagramable soup ever. Cool vid and way to explain how EXPENSIVE Iceland is
Oh noooo we didn't go there!! Will put it in our list for next time :) We really want to come back in the winter :)
you have to! It is another planet! We want to go back in winter again and get lucky with the northern lights and also in the summer....it's just so expensive
That was the only place where the soup wasn't watery but it was still a rip off. Only a few spoonfuls of soup in the bread bowl and you have to beg for a refill like Oliver Twist.
yeah but compared to how expensive everything else is at least the soup was a bit cheaper if you can say that
I know this is from 2 years ago, but you should def visit The Soup Company in vik, great soup and amazing people there. also free refills :)
Remoulade, anywhere in Europe!😄
Yes you are making us hungry eating that hefty looking fish skewer 🤤 Cool video guys!! 👌🏻
The rye bread at Cafe Loki was to die for...I would travel back to Iceland for one slice of their bread.
Damn. So much positive energy from the girl.
She’s like an electrifying beam.
Expensive but Iceland wages is very high, highest in Europe I read :)
I think Switzerland and Norway have higher
not necessarily.. plummers are very high in demand around here and they still don't earn more than the usual person in germany for example.. electricity and water though is much cheaper
Average wage in Iceland is equivalent to $5,600 U.S. monthly. taxes are about 28% to 34% but you get education, health care, vacation and child care.. I pay 28% in the US and I make less than 1/2 of that average a month.
Well Switzerland and the nordics have the highest. And I do believe Norway has the highest but it is very close.
Man I wish I can get a job there... Santa wanted to go to north pole I want to go to Iceland man..
10/11 is not a grocery store..it's a conveince store .. you should have went to bonus

This is how different the prices are in my country:
1 litre water - 0,5$
RedBull - 1,4$
1 litre milk - 0,7$
Cheese slices - 1,5$
Bread - 0,8$
Eggs - 1,5$
Soup packets - 0,4$
Pasta cups - 1$
(Everything approximately),
We also have SKYR which is cheap.
I was in Iceland for a week in 1984. Your video brings back so many memories! 😁👍
So excited for all the Iceland vlogs! Travelled around the country last summer and it was absolutely amazing. Actually we had the warmest day ever in Iceland back then - 26 degrees and everyone were wearing shorts and t-shirts. We definitely weren't prepared for that kind of weather :P
Also, ryebread is pretty much our main food source in Denmark. Like, we have it every single day for lunch. Usually with remoulade and some kind of cold cuts or fish. This video just made me crave it so much, and I'm so happy to be coming back home for a few days next month. Living in Amsterdam, and they have no such thing here.
haha yes we got to 27 I think .. but it only lasted 1 hour!!!
26 is not the warmest day ever in Iceland. In the capital area maybe, but that's because the western part of Iceland doesnt get so warm. Maybe it was the hottest day this summer in Iceland. We had days here this summer with 26-29 °C in the north and east region. The record in Iceland is 31°C.
Islandsk rugbrød er ikke det samme som i Danmark, det smage som kage og er blødt eftersom der er rigeligt med sukker i.
My dream land, someday baby I might spend my retirement there.. WE LOVE ICELAND
Hope you make it to Iceland, Kevin!
It was endearing when you guys called the tartar sauce “pickled mayonnaise” 🤣 I was giggling
It was not a "tatar Sauce", it is "Remulade", a danish invention,,, basically a mayonaise with pickeled cucumber kapers etc. and a dash of mustard.
@@realitymatters8720 Tartar sauce and Remoulade are extremely similar
Both sound good to me for fish and chips.
@@realitymatters8720 The premise is there. Quit trying to reach. Tartar sauce just happens to be mayonaise with pickled Cucumber (called pickles).
Not tartar sauce. Remoulade...its a little different
Awesome video, guys! That lobster soup looks so good. Keep up the great vids!
lived here twice now, absolutley fantastic country! i could never say enough about it!
I’m Icelandic and in reikjavík is so good food and I get it many times
Don't know where you are getting a $3 coffee in Australia, even back in 2018.
7/11 or Nightowl? XD

A great food vlog about Iceland and looks like you both had a good time. The lobster soup is not unique to Iceland. The French do it also and they call it Lobster Bisque. It’s the same as what you both had, a creamy, tomato soup with lobster broth (stock) and if you are lucky some lobster chunks. I’m from Scotland and I had a nice lobster bisque from a seafood bar in North Berwick harbour near Edinburgh. It was expensive at £6 a portion with a roll and butter. You can buy cans of lobster bisque in supermarkets across the UK but not as good as homemade. I loved the fish kebab. Haddock is also a popular fish in Scotland, it is more cod they eat in England. The fish and chips looked amazing too but quite a thin piece of cod you both had. Coffee at 7 aus$ is expensive and sometimes you can pay that for a latte or cappuccino in coffee shops in the UK. I had a cafe creme at train station in France and it was 4 euros - a smaller coffee than what you both had and gave the waitress a euro tip. The coffee is expensive in Iceland but coffee is also expensive in France and some places in the UK.
It was so nice to meet you in First-Grindelwald! We are very excited to head to Iceland next, thank you for your awesome videos! Safe journeys as you travel to Italy and beyond.
Going to Iceland next month and I could have done with you spending more time in the grocery store showing me products and prices. I find that interesting. Thanks for the video!
Great video! I went to Iceland last May and absolutely loved it! Cafe Loki was one of my first stops in Reykjavik and I tried that rotten shark before the rye bread ice cream 😆😂 Maybe not the best decision, but when in Iceland you gotta do as the Icelandics do! 😂 Keep up the great content!
"It reminds me of a seafood soup, with tomato, and it's creamy"
Bisque, a lobster bisque lol. And is pickled mayonnaise not tar tar sauce?... Thanks for the video. Iceland is cute and cold, just how I like it😆 Wow their yogurt looks richer than Greek yogurt. The grilled fish is beautiful nom nom nom😋
I was about to say: Tartar sauce (mayo with pickle relish mixed in) is a universal accompaniment to fried fish in North America; you get it everywhere. It's not North America-only; I've seen frites (french fry/chips) stands in Brussels that list it along with their dozens of other condiment options. Is tartar sauce not a thing in Australia?
Skyr's now readily available in North American groceries, although I don't remember seeing it as far back as this video.
wow looks so delicious! i wish you could ahve told us how much everything costs how much was the fish and chips and soup,how much was the rye ice cream,how much was the rye bread with fish on it?
Just check the comments someone posted it for us :)
Why have that title when you didn’t even share prices....ridiculous
Tysm for making this,such a lovely couple. Watching you from India 🇮🇳 Going soon to Iceland.❤️
Thanks to your video I've tried all foods you recommended when I was in Rejkyavic 2 weeks ago. :) Thanks for inspiring other travelers ;) ...cheers!
we in Estonia have also quite sweet kinds of dark bread and we make a kind of mousse or soup out of it, it can consist also different dried fruits and we eat it with icecream or sourcream
Skyr yogurt is so good, and all those fish dishes looked amazing!
Is it yogurt or whipped seal fat?
@@bill4639 definately not seal fat. Its similar to yogurt.
"We're looking for good food in Reykjavik" [walks right past Brauð & Co at 4:55]
Their breads and pastries are outstanding, even if they're a tad on the expensive side, i.e. like 1000 krona for a loaf of bread, that's $12 Australian!
"we tried icelandic foods" [amazed by french foods the whole first half of video]
you guys are cool. got here watching iceland vlogs. subscribing. cheers from philippines
Hello, thank you for uploading this video, going to be there in 3 weeks and this video is very cool
So how expensive was the food? You mentioned the cost of the coffee, but.. I truly enjoyed this video! You two are so cute! I loved how you filmed this too! I felt as if I was with you!
Hello, how are you? I want to get to know a girl from Iceland with the intention of getting married. I am a Syrian refugee. I live in Lebanon. I am a man and my body is strong
@@nasernaser6883 who would marry a man that treats women like crap?lol go back fight for your country COWARD!
We call the pickled mayo Tarter Sauce in the states.
Ah that's what it was... same in uk
Same in Ireland
I think what they got is similar to tarter sauce, but instead of lemon juice it had tumeric in it instead.
Actually remoulade is a sauce by itself, its kinda similar to tartar sauce but not quite it has alot more different things in it, we eat it on everything in denmark also :)
I Highly dislike seafood but you make me wanna eat it lol 😩😩😩🤣

Wonderful video. Thanks for the insights! I enjoyed seeing the prices of items at the store.
This was actually one of the videos that convinced me that my next destination had to be Iceland!
About water in Iceland ! .many tourist buy water in bottle for high price, the tapwater is more clean than bottle water and it cost nothing, we wash our car with it and we flush the toilet with it ,such a waste on such wonderful water but we dont have anything else ;-)
Gudni Hjartarson ég sá vatn í bottle og það kostaði 365 í perluna
@@danielwaeng and dit you buy it :-)
The hot water absolutely not! I recommend the visitors boil the cold water😆
The water im talking about is the cold water,not the hot water,you never drink the hotwater it got strange smell of sulfa,but its only in Reykjavik the capital.
yes!we just bought a bottle of water in the airport and we just refilled it from the tap for the duration of our stay in iceland and it is the most delicious water i've had in my life!
1:38 Proud about australian coffee, never heard that
American here. Living back in the US makes me want to crawl over shards of glass just to have a good Australian coffee. Sure, we have overpriced hipster coffee shops and coffee machines here, but...it just isn't the same as having a flat white in Brisbane.
Absolutely loved your video! Thanks for sharing :)
Btw what is the name of the song at the very very end? I can't find this version of it anywhere...
The fish N chips looked so good, I could hear the crunch... Actually it all looked Amazing!!
🎉🎉🎉 👍👍👍
You make by far the best video I hv ever scene on TH-cam..
Beautiful color & cam angle, ❤ it..
Wish I could make videos like these someday.. 😊
Definitely hungry!! Everything looked so tasty!
The fish is just called “Haddock” with no “fish” at the end 😃 We eat it a lot in the UK.
No the fish is Icelandic Cod, like u use to eat before the cod wars.
I prefer my Portuguese coffee for €0,70
I can even get for 0,60€ in my town
I love you guys, thanks for the video. Me and my wife are going in June, we cannot wait and seeing this makes us more pumped to get there. Cheers ❤️
I just found this channel and now im Binge-ing all the vids. I LOVE IT! Im going to give out links to all my friends on social media. Yall are great!
Haha I'm binge watching during lockdown
Great video, thank you! The pricing sounds about right by US standards where I live. If guys love seafood, you have got to to come to New England, if you haven’t already. Any of the major seaside cities, Bar Harbor, Booth Bay Harbor, Kennebunkport and Portland in Maine. Portsmouth, NH, and, my favorite, Boston, MA where are accent is similar to yours... Pahk your cah in the Hahvaad yahd.... lol. There’s also Cape Cod and the Islands of course. Then you have Newport and Jamestown in Rhode Island, Mystic and New Haven in Connecticut. There are so many more awesome spots, but I would be here all night listing them! Lobster soup, is lobster bisque here, also fish and clam chowder ( chowdah) is amazing, super thick and creamy goodness, ike nowhere else. Fish and chips? We’ve got those too, only our remoulade is called tartar ( tah-tah ) sauce, with ketchup or even salt and vinegar for the chips. Did I mention oysters....so good and fresh! Well, I hope you both are having a blast, I’d love to know if you’ve been or are planning to visit the US!
I'm loving the Iceland videos. Glad you're getting the hang of pronouncing Reykjavík now LOL. Hope your luggage will arriving soon. Ya, this video really makes me want to travel to Iceland just to try those foods.
LOL I live in Reykjavík and have never tried any of this. I do NOT by anything in 10-11 in Austurstræti, I have never tried a lobster soup (it is not - really - a traditional dish in Iceland...) I have never tried the fermented Shark and don´t like Svið (Google had no translation - it is lamb-head) Skyr is good - I advise you to buy the not stirred one and stir it yourself. Then you decide how much sugar and milk is necessary can also add blue-berries or strawberries if you want to. I am actually very picky about what I eat.
360 fish-species have been found around Iceland, but only 57 are usually caught (fished).
Humar i.e. Lobster has been caught here; 1.892.855kg from jan.17 till today 15.9.2018. During the same time, 68.354.299kg of Haddock (Ýsa) and 446.610.105kg of Cod (Þorskur)
Taking my family there in 2 months. Good video.
It’s still an amazing thing to see how just about everyone in Scandinavia speaks English with ease
