Hi Ian, I like Cleveland! Not withstanding the old joke about it from Robin Williams in the hit film Good Morning Vietnam!

'Oh, so you're from Cleveland! So the Vietnam war's not much of a change for you I guess then!'

lots of Iceland travel stuff and trip details/facts from those there before you at the LP Lonely Planet website and their forum at The Thorn Tree too there!

Er, Trev, I think he might mean Cleveland, as in the north of England (sort of Redcar way) Cleveland, rather than Cleveland, Ohio

Trevor - I suspect Ian is from Cleveland in this country!

Oh and don't believe everything you read in a Lonely Planet Guide

Welcome to the madness Ian!

Edit - CB beat me to it!

Sorry Ian, it is just you appeared there at a time of day when the American souls using the site often come out to post here, I have noticed before. That was why I jumped first off to that conclusion so quickly there!Welcome anyway! The info at the links provided still remains of use to you regardless of my obvious locational mistake.

You're lucky, round our way here in East Grinstead, West Sussex, it is more like Planet of the Apes I feel sometimes.

By that I mean lots of rather ugly Gorillas parading about in little thug gangs, conducting anti-social behaviourisms while awaiting an ASBO as a medal, to wear like a badge of authenticity with pride.

Proper tents are green. Naff tents are red. Red tents are for those on the Dark Side. After all, did you ever see Darth Vader in a green tent? No. Proof enough, I think you'll agree.
