Thanks for the message. Having just returned from Iceland two weeks ago, I have vivid recollections of Vik and other little towns like Husavik and Stykkisholmur.
On a side note, you may wish to consider taking up some advertising space on Globo in future as we do not generally support free ad postings. This post was bordering on that. Cheers and welcome to Globo!
