Icelandic was not an easy language for us. Still, we managed just fine on our trip, mostly because most Icelanders also speak English. They speak Danish as well and all three languages are taught in their schools.

Signs caused us some problems but the longer we were there, the more we began to recognize some words, just by looking into the long words for clues.

This was one of those times early in our trip where I knew we were in a bit of trouble...

But then I would see a sign like this and feel pumped up to keep working at it.

I don't know why it's so complicated. It just says hamburger.

I can find a wine shop in any country.

I put this one in the "Don't ask; Don't tell" category.
