Iceland is an island nation in the North Atlantic Ocean. The land area is small, only half the size of Guangdong, and the population is even smaller, only 350,000.

Except for the Vikings who first landed on the island and settled on the island, it has experienced the rule of many countries, so the history is also quite rich.

There are parts of the area covered in snow and ice all year round, and the average temperature is around 5 degrees Celsius, so you can feel comfortable every day. Iceland is surrounded by many mountains, with plains in between, and many of these mountains are active volcanoes. Therefore, as a tourist destination, many people from all over the world come to visit.

Since there are volcanoes, there are hot springs, so Iceland is also famous for its hot springs. What a pleasure it is to soak in the hot springs in the same temperature as winter! It's cool to think about.

It's the end of July, and I've heard that you can see the polar day phenomenon in Iceland, there is almost no night, and the special natural phenomenon attracts many tourists to come and play, and you can set up tents and camp in the wild, and even save the lights at night.

Iceland has low forest cover and most of the plains are grasslands, so animal husbandry is well developed. I heard that Iceland has a complex ethnic composition, mainly Germanic people, as well as immigrants from neighboring countries such as Norway, Finland, and the United Kingdom, and there are very few Asians.

The person who picked us up at sea was Yu Youchun from the Chinese Embassy in Iceland. He knew we wanted to travel in Iceland and go back and welcomed us warmly.

He helped us find a hotel to stay in and then arranged to exchange local coins. The local coin is called 'Icelandic krona', and the minimum denomination of the banknote is 100 kroner, which can be exchanged for 0.7 US dollars, or 5 yuan.

Yu Youchun asked how much we want to exchange? I don't know what the local consumption is, so I asked if one million is enough? He held out a finger, what do I mean? He said he could eat, live and play for ten days.

Wow! 1 million yuan for 10 days of food, accommodation and play? Too expensive, right? Sure enough, the country with the fourth highest happiness index in the world is different, and this happiness is all made of money?

I turned around and asked Lian'er, how many days are you going to play? She glanced at the mountains outside the window and said let's just play for a month!

Ah! Whatever a month? That's three million, I don't know how much money I have in my card? I looked at Yu Youchun with a bitter face and said buddy, let's go! Take me to exchange money. I don't even know how much money is left in the card!

Let Lian'er wait in the room, and I will follow Yu Youchun to the first floor, where there is a bank in the lobby where you can exchange coins.

I don't speak the local official dialect, so Yu Youchun will translate for me. Insert the UnionPay card into it, enter the password, and fortunately, there are 8 million in it!

Secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yu Youchun, three million for krona, one million for dollars!

Yu Youchun was also surprised, and he also said to me on the elevator, let's play for a few days and buy a ticket to go back, the consumption here is too high. But I didn't expect that I still have eight million in my card.

In fact, I forgot how much money I have, I scraped a lot in the Philippines last time, it seems to be 50 million! then transferred 20 million to Jiang Ming, and returned 10 million to the fat man. Transfer 10 million to Xiaolan, and she will take care of logistics. also asked Brown Sugar Sister to transfer some money to Lian'er's parents for the New Year.

Then these eight million are enough for us to play abroad for a long time? Can't you borrow a little more from the president? Hehe! If you want to find a local businessman, you won't trouble the president.

Exchange money, $150,000, crowns 60 million, and then you can play for a month. Let Yu Youchun buy me a mobile phone, and ask him if he is free these days? He said that Iceland is very safe and there is nothing to do, but he can't accompany guests on non-business trips, so he has to report.

Is that not available? I asked him what he should be aware of when traveling in Iceland. He is a local expert and naturally knows Iceland.

He said that as long as you don't stir up national sentiments, respect local customs, pay attention to safety when traveling, and nothing else. In terms of politeness, there is generally nothing to do, and if there is something, call the embassy.

Shaking hands with Yu Youchun and saying goodbye, I went back to my room and took Lian'er to dinner. It is normal to eat a meal here for a thousand pieces of RMB.

I found a local rice fat man, and went in and sat down to order. Looking through the English menu, none of them could read it, and only knew a few words. Lian'er on the other side saw my expression and covered her mouth and smiled. The waiter waited respectfully, and he didn't order a dish for a long time, he was in a hurry.

"Brother Heng! Let me do it! ”

"Didn't you graduate from high school too! I'm also a high school graduate! But these words have long been forgotten. ”

Lian'er took the menu with a smile and turned a few pages, I was in a hurry.

“Goose live

of spaghetti，Tha

k you！ ”

I looked confused, they were all nine years of compulsory education, and they all went to high school for three years, why is the gap so big? What did she order?

"Brother Heng, are you still drinking?"

"Drink! I don't know if this wine is expensive! You ask what kind of wine there is, by the way, red wine for girls is more suitable. ”

"Okay, let's have a bottle of wine bar!"

Lian'er smiled and nodded back to the waiter.

“Excuse me，Do you have a

“yes！ What ki

e would you like。 ”

“Is the

“1997 Lafite？”

“Yes, the

“1997 Lafite！ Tha

k you。 ”

“OK！”

I held my chin in my hands and looked at Lian'er with adoration. How could she be so proficient in English?

The waiter left, and I touched Lian'er's hand, and she smiled at me, her face flushed.

"Lian'er, I adore you so much! I couldn't speak a word of English for a long time, but I didn't expect you to speak so smoothly. ”

"What's this! I was the best in English and history in high school, and if you ask me how many sons and daughters Qianlong had, I know them all, and I even remember their names. I even know the name of his illegitimate son. ”

"Partial science? Or English and history? That's pretty weird! I have the worst English and a decent history. ”

"When I was a child, I was very fond of foreign languages, so I learned them quickly. Interest is the best teacher! As for history, you know that too. ”

Lian'er has always wanted to find her way home, so she has studied history very thoroughly. Unfortunately, I took her to play, and I promised to take her to the altar, but I ended up running away to Iceland.

With Lian'er's English background, we have no problems traveling in Iceland.

After a while, a lot of dishes were served. When I looked at it, it was caviar, foie gras, steak, pasta, and a bottle of open red wine in an ice bucket, two goblets.

Pick up the red wine and look at it, guess it should be Lafite, the following is written 1997, that is 97 years of production? People say '82 Lafite is the best, but I don't know how to make wine.

The waiter took the wine, opened it with a 'boom', and poured half a glass into our glass. Then he bowed to us and said something. Lian'er said Tha

k you。

I asked Lian'er what he said? Seeing that I was curious, Lian'er laughed 'poof'.

“please e

joy it means to use it slowly. ”

"Oh! Please I understand, but I don't understand the back. ”

After hearing this, Lian'er laughed, fortunately there was no one in the restaurant. I blushed and took a big sip of the wine. Wow! What the hell is this? Bitter and astringent?

Seeing the expression on my face, Lian'er burst into tears and laughed. She said that the red wine should be slowly shaken and tasted, and when the air oxidizes the red wine, the astringency will be reduced, and it cannot be stuffed in one sip.

Is there so much more to pay attention to? I thought it was the same as in China, shirtless, with one foot on the chair, and taking a big gulp of red wine.

I looked around, and a few people in the distance looked over and shrank their heads. Our Asian faces are rare here.

To eat this kind of Western food, you have to straighten your waist and pretend to eat it slowly and elegantly. A hungry ghost like me, I can't get used to it when I stuff it in a few bites and chew it. I eat and my mouth is fragrant, and I close my mouth and chew slowly, which is my style?

Pay after the meal, 50,000 crowns, that is, 2,000 yuan. If this thing is half full, it will cost 2,000 yuan? With 2,000 yuan, you can go to the restaurant several times in China.

After dinner, go to see the aurora, which is the polar day. There are no railways in Iceland, and only roads are used for land transportation. However, sea and air freight are quite developed.

The aurora is a brilliant and colorful plasma phenomenon that appears at night.

These multicolored colors, which are ribbon-shaped, arc-shaped, curtain-shaped, and radial, are especially beautiful in the night sky.

We went out to take a taxi, and Lian'er told him that we were going to the grassland to see the aurora. The driver snapped his fingers and pulled us inland.

The city of Iceland is beautiful and has a bit of a Danish fairytale feel. The buildings are several stories tall with colourful roofs and a bell tower in the distance.

The road to the grassland was clean and free of any garbage. When you pass by the farm, you can see the wooden houses of the farmer, all of which are high-story colorful houses, which make people feel like they are living in a fairy tale.

The driver pulled us to a prairie farm, let us down and ran away. This is a wooden house farm, with a lot of wooden tables and stools at the door, a bit like our domestic farmhouse, which also provides food and accommodation, as well as tent rental.

Seeing that there were already people setting up tents in the distance, the sparse tourists seemed very deserted. In the distance, there are snow-capped mountains, which are said to have come from glaciers, and they are beautiful and sacred to look at in the sunset.

We rented a tent and the workers asked us to pick the site and then set up a tent for us. He skillfully set it up in a few minutes and brought a lot of quilts.

Lian'er was reading the color page, and she said that the farm could also organize to go to other attractions to see it, and the fee was low. There are glaciers, active volcanoes, hot springs, waterfalls, ice floes, and horseback riding.

The glacier is not a snowy mountain, but there is an ice cave at the foot of the mountain, an ice cave several meters high, which people can drill into and play, and it is like a transparent crystal palace.

The farm also offers geothermal hot spring cabins for an additional fee, which is similar to our own home. It is a red wooden house with a white roof, and it looks like walking into a fairy tale.

We wanted a nice cabin, so we went in and locked the door. However, there are large glass windows on three sides, and it doesn't matter if it's locked or not. If you look at the other wooden houses, everyone is red. Strips of hot springs.

Since everyone is like this, we also follow suit, I look at them, and they look at us, haha! Anyway, if you don't know it, you won't suffer, just watch it!

This is a living hot spring that comes out of the ground, and the environment inside is beautifully decorated. Put away your clothes, sit on the edge of the pool, and put your legs in first.

Lian'er is not afraid of being hot, it may have something to do with her status as a celestial maiden, so she went into the water and swam a few laps directly. I also went into the water, and the temperature seemed to be 50 degrees, which made me feel uncomfortable, but I got used to it after a while.

After soaking for half an hour, I felt that my mouth was dry, so I took out a few bottles of mineral water from the sachet and gave one to Lian'er. After drinking water, the body is much more comfortable, and then take out the shower gel to take a bath, and rub the old mud of these days.

Soon the sky darkened, and you could see the brilliant sky outside from the window. The colorful aurora is like a white cloud, but it is very thin, and it is really pleasing to the eye, especially when accompanied by beautiful women.

We soaked in the water, lying on the edge of the pool and looking out the window, enjoying the beautiful scenery that is rarely seen in China.

After soaking in the hot springs, people will be very tired, and they will sleep comfortably under a warm quilt at night.

In the morning, we had breakfast at the farm shop. Iceland is a country with a well-developed livestock and fishing industry, so you can order whatever you want for breakfast, and the milk cheese steak and lamb fillet are all high in calories. There are also various kinds of marine fish, cut into sections, and the taste is particularly delicious. The staple food is rye bread.

We signed up for a day trip organized by the farm, and our next stop was to see the glacier.

This is a very classic minibus, with various fairy tale patterns painted on the outside. Seven or eight people in the same car were Westerners, and I didn't speak English without knowing anything, and I heard that Lian'er communicated fluently with others.

After half an hour of driving, we reached the bottom of the mountain. In front of you, there is a huge snow-capped mountain, and there is a cave at the foot of the mountain, and after entering, the cave made of thick ice is smooth and beautiful, like a blue crystal palace.

The top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the foot of the mountain is an ice cave, this is the legendary glacier?

I took Lian'er to play in the cave, and when the sun penetrated somewhere, the inside of the cave looked crystal clear. Lian'er said it was too cold inside, so let's go out!

The next attraction is the nearby active volcano, the kind where you can see the lava tumbling.

There are more than 100 active volcanoes in Iceland, and the volcanic attractions are not just a single active volcano, but also the beauty left behind by volcanic eruptions. Volcanoes are also diverse, with various shapes and landscapes, and the magma cools to form a variety of strange landforms.

The minibus took us to an active volcano that has been burning for hundreds of years and is quite stable.

We walked up the trail to the crater several hundred meters high, and standing near the crater, we felt that the air was very stuffy, and there was a strong smell of sulfur, and it was so hot that I wanted to get rid of it. The impulse of clothes.

From here, you can see that the crater has plate-like condensation cracks, surrounded by several thick slabs of tens of square meters, and under the middle is hot magma.

The Westerners who came with them all held high-end cameras and photographed the orange tumbling magma from various angles. Their love for magma baffles me.

Lian'er grabbed my hand tightly and looked at the bubbling magma excitedly, trembling a little.

I asked her what was wrong? Doesn't it stink? If it's uncomfortable, we'll go down, let's not look at it.

"Brother Heng, I want to go down and have a look." Lian'er's words surprised me.

"Don't be stupid! How do you have that thought? ”

After saying that, I took Lian'er and left. On the way down the mountain, she didn't speak. This girl is crazy, isn't she? This hot magma, must there be thousands of degrees? Go down? Didn't that man also gasify?

Descending to the bottom of the mountain, I pulled her into the minibus and sat down. The driver outside was chatting with acquaintances, just looking back at us, and individual tourists were dizzy when they smelled the sulfur, and they saw a lot.

"Brother Heng, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll go get something from the volcanic magma."

"Lian'er, are you stupid? With such high temperatures, is this what you can go down to? ”

"Nope! Brother Heng, you don't understand. I'm a fire attribute, and those magma won't hurt me. Magma is like hot mud to me. ”

I looked at Lian'er in surprise, trying to see something on this girl's face. But also, I can have five thunder palms and unicorn arms. Can't you let Lian'er take a bath in the magma and recharge it for a while?

Since it is a fire attribute, it is compatible, and there will be no harm, but she said to take something.

The volcano is lava, is there any treasure in it? Lian'er's big eyes stared at me, and she wanted me to believe that what she said was true.

"Alright! But you don't want to be too long. ”

Lian'er was also relieved to see that I agreed, and asked me to follow her to the public toilet. We got out of the car and walked to the toilet in the management area, I washed my hands in the basin at the door, and Lian'er walked in.

"Brother Heng, come in." Lian'er called me in the women's bathroom, I looked back, there was no one nearby, and then I walked in with my legs raised.

Lian'er gets off in the women's bathroom. The light scared me. She gave me the clothes in her hand, smiled at me, and disappeared in an instant.

I could feel that she was already in the crater, and I had to get out of the toilet and put her clothes in my bag.

When I saw that there was a shop nearby, I gestured and bought something to eat, walked to the log table and sat down, and slowly nibbled on bread. After eating the bread and water, I looked up at the volcano, saw that the tourists were slowly coming down, and went to the toilet to pretend to wash my hands.

"Lian'er, are you back?" I asked softly.

"Brother Heng, you can come in."

I was thrilled to hear Lian'er's voice. Looking back outside, no one was paying attention, and then quickly approached the women's restroom. Lian'er Zhengguang. Standing inside, holding an egg-sized object in his hand, red and shiny.

Watch as she rubs the reddish thing into her right palm and begins to get dressed. I hurried out and pretended to wash my hands again.

Lian'er came out and washed her hands as well. I looked at her curiously, wanting her to give me an explanation.

"That's the Fire Phoenix Spirit that lives in an active volcano. Yuan, can conceive a fire phoenix. ”

Fire Phoenix? Essence. Yuan?
