Anyone been to Iceland? Yes the Country

Got 4 days left off to book before Christmas, and a couple of friends are coming over from Americano for 3 days before they go to Iceland. I'm thinking why the chuff not go
 
Off to Riga (Latvia) in mid December for 5 nights. Anyone been?

I love travelling but haven't got the money to travel the world so I set myself a target of visiting every European capital last year. Been to London, Rome, Budapest, Prague so far and got Riga in December. Not really a fan of doing the quick visit on a train thing that has became quite popular, I prefer to spend a decent amount of time in each city.

Budapest is probably my favourite place out of them all. I went in Late January last year, freezing like but it adds to the experience for me. Found it mad how peaceful it was past about 7pm in all the main areas even on a weekend. Such a difference to a big city in other European city's.

Yo, when was this exactly mate?

I rarely visit our capital. Once a year maybe, max two.

Would have been fun to see and have few
 

Just booking my Euro 2016 accommodation before its too late and I'm left having to pay OTT prices.

Got tickets for two group games at Lens, one at 3pm, one at 9pm. For the latter, I have reserved a upmarket shack on booking.com, about 20 miles away, nothing closer available.

I haven't got any accommodation booked as of yet. Will likely just go for a cheapish hotel with breakfast in a fairly central area. Usually does the job!

Nice one anyway, I'll keep what you've said in mind if I get bored in Riga after a couple of days.
 
So went to both Koreas last year, as well as Thailand and China, and heading back to Thailand in December then on to Vietnam afterwards.

Who here has been to Chiang Mai in Thailand, and/or Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) or Hoi An in Vietnam?

Starting my homework in earnest to make sure we have the best time possible.
