**7-Hour Layover in Iceland: Just Enough Time to Fall in Love… and Fill a Water Bottle 💧🇮🇸** 1. **Water so clean, it’s practically unicorn tears** 🦄💦    Iceland has some of the *purest drinking water on Earth*. You can fill your bottle from the tap—or a waterfall—and feel fancy doing it. 2. **No need for surnames here** 🤝    Icelanders go by *first names only*, even the president! You won’t find a Smith or Johnson—just Jón and Guðrún. 3. **More sheep than people** 🐑    True story: There are about **3x more sheep than humans**. Somewhere out there, a wooly welcome committee is ready. 4. **Home of the hidden folk** 🧚‍♂️    Many Icelanders believe in *elves and trolls*.

Loch Ness: 10/10 for mystery, 0/10 for monster selfies. 🐮 Funny Facts About Highland Cows: Their bangs are better than yours. Their long fringe (called a “dossan”) looks like they just walked out of a rock concert. Somewhere between a Viking and a 90s grunge band. Built-in umbrella. That shaggy coat? It’s waterproof. Rain just slides right off. Meanwhile, you're in your raincoat, soaked and questioning your life choices. Chillest cows on Earth.

And if you have, tell me your favorite Skye story — preferably one involving rain, magic, or a wild Highland cow. 🐮🗺️
