All at sea

A sea day on our way to the Faroe Islands.
Iceland was great - a good place to visit. It is very different, with a lot to offer in history, landscape and (often quirky) culture. We had the feeling we really only skimmed the surface.
Tourism is getting bigger. There were about 400,000 tourists 20 years ago. Now there are 2 million. It will be interesting to see how many more the country can take. Tourism has liften them out of a big hole that opened up in the GFC. It sits along fish as the major export earners.
Interestingly, Iceland is a foundation member of NATO but doesn't have a military. But it is not a member of the EU. Apparently, it doesn't want any other country to have access to its fisheries.Weiterlesen
