Lisco's American Life
Chapter 84: First Arrival in Iceland
After explaining the good things, Lisko also planned to hit the road. Although Rooster was very busy, he still found time to send Lisko to the airport.
"Okay, let's stop here." Lisko got out of the car and took out his luggage from the back.
Rooster leaned against the car door, watching Liske smooth out the wrinkles in his clothes while riding in the car.
"You have to keep an eye on the house for me, and send me an email if you have anything to do." Lisko knew that he would take care of the ranch affairs, but he was a little worried about building the house, so he still had to give instructions.
"Do not worry."
The two people who were already very familiar with each other did not have those mundane formalities. Lisko walked directly to the airport and waved his hand to indicate that Rooster could go back.
When I got on the plane, I was still familiar with the first class cabin. Lisko would not be stingy with himself in these aspects.
Lisko took his seat and was not in the mood to communicate with the people in the same cabin.
Close your eyes and take a nap.
This time the destination is Reykjavik Airport in Iceland. Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland.
After an eight-hour flight, Lisko never fell asleep on the plane. Even though he had been sitting, he was exhausted.
Lisko got off the plane. It was already night in Iceland. Lisko exchanged some Icelandic kronor at the airport and waved for a taxi with his luggage.
The main language in Iceland is Icelandic. Due to its unique geographical location and the constant flow of tourists from all over the world every year, English can also be communicated here.
The airport is about an hour's drive from the city. Lisko was already so sleepy that he fell asleep in the car. Fortunately, Lisko told the driver the name of the hotel clearly, and he could be sent directly to the hotel without having to worry about it.
After much tossing, the day is finally over.
The hotel Lisko booked this time was the Reykjavik Konsurat Hotel, a chain hotel owned by Hilton. Since Lisko was a senior member of this hotel, he showed his membership card at the front desk and was easily admitted.
Brought to the room.
When walking past the front desk, Lisko also picked up a promotional poster for the hotel.
It says this hotel is about a 5 minute walk from Harpa Concert Hall and offers a health spa, free fitness center, restaurant and lobby bar.
Each room in the hotel is equipped with a balcony, private bathroom, seating area and flat-screen satellite TV.
A continental breakfast is served daily at the hotel.
Lisko was still very satisfied with the environment, but what was more urgent in his heart was to take a hot bath to get rid of his fatigue, then order dinner and have a comfortable sleep.
I gave a ten-dollar tip to the hotel staff who helped carry my luggage, and asked him to go to the front desk to ask for dinner.
Lisko took out his change of clothes and entered the bathroom.
There was a bathtub in the bathroom, and Lisko filled it with bath water. When his skin came into contact with the hot water, he groaned in comfort.
"Hmm~"
The soaking in hot water soon made all the fatigue leave his body. After wiping his body, Lisko dried his hair and walked into the house.
Wearing a bathrobe and just about to sit down and watch TV, the door to the room rang.
"Sir?"
Lisko opened the door, and there was a dining car outside. The waiter helped push it in and looked at Lisko with a smile.
When it came time to tip again, Lisko tried to avoid using the Icelandic coins he exchanged, so he had to give another US dollar.
After the waiter left, Lisko was in the mood to eat.
The dinner delivered was very sumptuous. When you are in Iceland, you can’t help but try the world-famous Icelandic lamb.
The traditional delicacies of Iceland are fish and mutton. Smoked fish and dried fish are world-famous specialties. The reason why Icelandic mutton is world-famous is because Iceland prohibits the use of chemical fertilizers and growth hormones, and also strictly prohibits the import of meat. Therefore, eating it in Iceland
All are pure Icelandic meat. Icelandic lamb is unparalleled in its delicious taste. This is due to more than 1,000 years of traditional grazing methods. The sheep eat fresh grass and plants. When traveling to Iceland, lamb is a must-have.
taste.
Lisko first cut off a piece with a knife and fork and put it into his mouth. The meat of the roast mutton was extremely tender and delicious. The juice of the meat itself flowed into his mouth, and it was so delicious.
Some people say that the sheep in Iceland are the happiest sheep in the world. They have never known what it means to be kept in captivity throughout their lives, let alone see things like fences. They live extremely "boundless" and drink glacier water when they are thirsty.
When you're hungry, eat the plants and berries you can find everywhere. In the words of the Icelanders themselves, "they pickle themselves."
Next to the grilled lamb is salmon. Iceland is an island country with developed marine resources, especially fisheries. Icelandic families eat fish every day. Fish is the mainstay of Icelandic cuisine. Icelandic seafood, headed by fish, is also Icelandic.
One of the mainstays of the economy. Cod, salmon and haddock are the most common, as well as langoustine, a favorite of most local gourmets.
In Iceland, the economy mainly relies on marine fisheries. Fisheries provide 60% of Iceland's export revenue and employ 8% of the labor force.
So the most common delicacy here is fish.
The salmon in front of Lisko is usually only provided in other hotels with four stars or above, and it is only provided in the morning, but Lisko is a senior member of Hilton, so of course the hotel staff does not impose restrictions.
Iceland's salmon has made countless food lovers salivate. Compared with salmon delicacies in other places, Iceland's salmon delicacies can be said to be the most pure. "Iceland's salmon delicacies are tender in texture, delicious in taste, and are derived from pure natural fish raising and freshness.
Generally speaking, the fish ingredients in Iceland are caught on the same day and are very fresh. Although salmon with high nutritional value is expensive, it is still favored by most people.
The dessert is a kind of yogurt unique to Iceland, called Skyr. Not only is the name super nice, but the taste is also very special. When you bite it in your mouth, it’s like taking a bite of the soft sky! Skyr is more like a cross between yogurt and cheese.
One thing in between is a kind of yogurt with a very thick texture. It is mainly eaten with jam and nuts. Of course, some people also eat it with olive oil. The taste is not greasy and it is amazing.
With so many delicacies, of course, wine is indispensable. People near the Atlantic Ocean are accustomed to drinking gin. What Lisko tasted today was a fruit gin.
Gin is also called gin. The main ingredient is corn, so the liquor is golden yellow all over.
It is a kind of spirit with an alcohol content of up to 40%. It is generally based on neutral alcohol, plus herbs, fruits, spices, etc. (usually juniper is the main raw material) for secondary distillation to extract the essence and aroma, and it is gin.
It brings unique aromas such as rosin, leather and grass, which is very charming.
The name of the drink Lisko drank was Nordés, named after the trade wind blowing toward the blue-black Atlantic coastline. When Lisko saw the name, he thought of his old joke, "Drink the northwest wind."
