Wow! Tivo picked up the fact that Iceland was the beginning of the Amazing Race...
They have to find Seljalandfoss. It's a beautiful waterfall that you can walk behind.

A pair of the cars drove too far and wound up at Skogar and next to Skogafoss. We both were laughing at the contestants asking people where the waterfall was. That's like asking a NYer where the Pizza shop is...

From there they had to go to Vatnajökull Glacier and they camped out there overnight. The following morning they had to drive to Glacier Ice Beach, which they mispronounced whatever the name is... it's the beach across the highway from Jökulsárlón. There they had a choice to either do an ice climb on one of the glacial tongues or search for a bouy in Jökulsárlón.

Their final destination was Blue Lagoon, which most couldn't find because the signage all says, Bláa Lóniđ. One pair of contestants in their haste put gasoline into a diesel engine instead of reading the gas pump and the actual gas caps.

While I'm no fan of most reality TV... this is pretty funny because the letters in Iceland seem familiar, but at the same time... aren't.
It was nice to see some of the sights that Skogafoss and I love so much...
