Sto lat z okazji urodzin ten-ten. --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_KB5nA9iMg
Ja za miesiąc obchodzę 29-te eleven-eleven a za rok 30-te eleven-eleven-eleven! AAAAAA! :-)
Cudownie, że miałaś okazję pojechać na Islandię. Z tego co czytam musiało być MAGICZNIE. Mam kilka pytań (jeśli nie masz nic przeciwko). W jaki sposób organizowałaś cały wyjazd? Tanie bilety lotnicze? Ktoś znajomy na miejscu? Couchsurfing? Wybacz moją ciekawość, ale sama będę chciała zorganizować podobny wyjazd i zbieram wszelkie potrzebne info.
Z góry dziękuję za odpowiedź.

Sorry it took so long to answer (and that I’m answering in English because I’m too lazy to run a grammar/spell check if I write in Polish =)
Ok, I flew there on Icelandair, the one cheap airline that goes there from KRK. I contacted some people on couchsurfing.com, but that didn’t pan out so we ended up staying at this apartment, which was quite affordable and nice and the location was great, even if it was a bit of a walk to the very centre of Reykjavik. In general, you can get a nice central apartment for under 50 euro per night in the off season, which is good considering how expensive Reykjavik can be.
We hadn’t planned on renting a car, so we didn’t have anything organized, but the apartment had some information about car rental and when we asked the manager he actually booked a car for us that was quite cheap. I think that was the best way to see Iceland, as hitchhiking is great if you have a lot of time, but if you don’t the buses may end up costing you more than renting a car, and you have a lot more freedom and can see more on your own.
One of the coolest things we did was spend a night on a horse farm, and then went riding the next morning. It wasn’t cheap but if it’s something you want to do it’s worth saving up for, and the hospitality (and homemade Icelandic food) are totally worth it. There are tons of horse farms with guesthouses in the south of Iceland where we drove through, with flyers advertising them at just about every tourist spot and gas station.
Basically, I did some early research online, asked the advice of a couple of friends who had been there, and booked and planned everything myself. It’s totally doable, and better (and cheaper) than any packaged trip out there.
And happy very belated birthday to you too!
