        That is hilarious. I like the assumption that everyone in the village knows everyone, and that they speak English!

        that's a fair assumption to make in Iceland and a Dane (former colonial overloards for a millennium) would know :)

        I marvel at the amount of detail it takes to make the destination unique.

        For such a small island, indeed. Some time back, some Brit did a similar experiment but with riddles and poems. Post arrived.
