    Rick, the original series “Vikings” about Ragnar Lothbrook is one of the best series I’ve watched. Definitely give it a chance. Also The Last Kingdom was also a brilliant series too

    The last Kingdom on Netflix is a brilliant Viking series to binge.

    Jaysis I’m dumbfounded. I never thought Iceland had so much to offer. Absolutely beautiful country. Mind you £55 for 5 crepes… eh, no thanks 😮. Rick’s scrambled eggs and fried potatoes looked bangin. I’m in Ireland 🇮🇪 and I’d say I’m 🥶 colder than you. I’m really enjoying this trip. Only for Rick and yourself I’d never get to see such beauty. Of course I mean you not just the scenery 🤣🤪🤣. Seriously though. Thanks 🙏 for sharing with us. Only for you I’d never see it because I’m too old and I’ve bad health. I’ve also said it before. You have a beautiful family. 👍
