First things first... 
Oh maybe I think it's fudge....
I think it's fudge 
So one of the reasons that I wanted to go to Iceland
is because I never really bothered with New Year before          
(Happy New Year!)  
I didn't just opt out of New Year   
You bothering this year?  
"Nah mate, don't do New Year. Still on 1995" 
I just didn't do things to end the year. I mean, I did do things, but it was just ...  
There's no fireworks :/ 
No! Don't shut me out, oh you're a f-
Last year we tried to do something, wanted to see the fireworks ... 
Left it too late. We had 5 minutes to get across the whole of London.                
Ok, run, we've gotta make it, it's nearly midnight.
WOOPWOOPSIRENHELLO  
...Is it New Year?
(Cheering)
It's New Year!
APPARENTLY ITS NEW YEAR!
ITS NEW YEAR APPARENTLY!       
WOOCHEERING    
HELLO NEW YEAR
What a view...
YES UMBRELLA 
So last year, we went to see some fireworks, didn't see any fireworks, so we were like  
Next year we should make something happen. Let's go to... ICELAND.   
And now here we are. Dreams do come true.       
♫ Dreams can come true ♫ 
(Pleased) Got a feast. 
I'm phasing my body nicely  in to the Iceland temperatures
(Keen) Aruns in Iceland!! 
(Still thinking about feast) Aruns in there!
We'll see him shortly!   
We wouldn't even know if we died. 
♫ Do, do do do dooo ♫  
I didn't realise how cold Iceland would be...  
Ohhh, it's a bit nippy. What the hell?                
They gave me a clue with the name. ICEland. If it wasn't freezing they would have just called it... Land.              
But, y'know, Iceland was cold, but... The cold never bothered me anyway :   )         
I love Frozen so much.
Olaf is so amazing. And Elsa, she never lets it go.
I love it.
I love it.
Oh my god, what can you store in here?! 
Toothbrushes. 
The water smells. 
(erm)
Have you smelt the water? 
I did smell it...  Yeah what does it smell like?    
During the winter Iceland only has 4 hours of daylight. Just woken up, is it day? Is it night?  
Who knows? It's Iceland.                 
Sometimes at home I wake up at, like, lunchtime. 
If you wake up here at lunchtime...
you'll never see the sun.
We're on the way to the airport because we're hoping to rent a car. Hopefully do a little iceland roadtrip. 
Have you ever driven in a country where they drive on the otherside of the road before?
No. 
Because it was so dark when we arrived the night before, we didn't notice: The mountains.
There's mountains outside! 
I know! I know! 
That's beautiful.  
But I wanted to see a mountain up close. I wanted to touch a mountain. I wanted to... Feel the mountain...
I wa-  
Edit that out.  
Made it seem like I wanted to make love to a mountain.
So we entered "Mountain" into the sat nav and hoped that took us to... Mountain.       
♫ MUSIC: Tom Rosenthal - Going To Be Wonderful ♫
Shall we go down? Shall we try it? Yeah.
(Delicious crunching of snow underfoot)
Thats the Iceland walk! 
He's got it down! 
OK...That's deep. 
Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints. 
I've left a lot, but. I just wanted to double check I left them.   
Is this safe?! 
One of the main reasons I wanted to go to Iceland was to see the Northern Ligh-
Oh what? 
Northen Lights condoms.
OK. Good.
I don't wanna see the Northen Lights anymore.
The fun thing about the Northern Lights as a tourist destination is that you'll never know if it'll be there or not, which makes things interesting.
You have to try and find the Northern Lights.
If you go to London you know Big Ben's always gonna be there.
Leaning Tower of Pisa is never just gonna wonder off.
Northern Lights: It does its own thing.
Is that the Northen Lights?    
Is that it?!
That red one! Northern Lights!   
No, that one there. 
Which one?!
So we drove to the middle of nowhere to try and find it, and it was great, it was just the 4 of us.  
...The 4 of us? Me, Chelsea, Arun.
Who's the 4th?! 
Oh don't flash the lights like that! 
No, I'm trying to turn it off.
OHHHH
Don't huff the windows 
That's a genuine tactic they use in the army.
What, so Monsters cant get in?
No person in the army huffs a window so the enemy cant see them.                
Yep...Yeah!    
(HUFFS)
We need to get out shes gone, shes gone! We've huffed and we've huffed, shes gone, she got scared, we've scared the scarer.
There's only one thing left to do. And it's puffing.
No we're not moving onto Puffing, Chelsea.    
Oh my god! I think- Oh no, that's not it, that's the moon.
(Car starts up) I can't see it- 
DON'T LEAVE
DON'T LEAVE!
After huffing ourselves silly we eventually got lucky, the clouds cleared and we finally got to see The Northern Lights.
Woooww
Oh my god
I can't believe it.
It's so vivid.
It's so real.
Look how nice that looks in the- it's
I'm so happy we came here
I didn't realise it was gonna be like that
I know.
It looks so green
This is the best New Years I've ever had.
This is the best time in my life.
Is that alright?
Shall we come here next year?  
I really like exploring new places and seeing what's different but however far away from home you are  
There's always stuff to bring you back...
Guys should we get a pizza from Iceland? 
2014 was an interesting year. Not as
interesting as the last day of 2014 though.
Which started off with a visit to a tomato plant for some reason? 
You know, I'm a bigger fan of tomatos as the next guy. 
Whos the next guy?
Oh its a sloth. Who- I ain't afraid of no sloths.
No I love a tomato though. And I tried some Icelandic tomato soup.
Oh.
Could you just hold my bread?
Hold his bread.
I can't hold his bread-
Could you just hold my bread? 
- I'm texting
After TOMATO SOUP we headed off to try and see some G- Geysers. Hey guys! 
Geisers? Guysers? Jes- I don't know.
OHHH WOOOWWW 
That's something you never would have said before Iceland.
Wheres your phoneOHHHHH 
THAT SURPRISED ME MORE THAN I THOUGHTOHH OHOO
The first two times the big boy blew off I jumped and missed it.
We'll get it the third time.
OHHHHHHH
It happened again and I jumped.  
Oh wow.
That was good. Nice height on it.
Enjoy the gift shop!
Chelsea and Arun have left me to explore on my own because they're worried about slipping.  
"It's too icy" Yep, Iceland    
No slipping on the ice with these heels.
Dangerous. Kill someone with them: easy.
I just keep thinking, 'do I go up any higher? or not' because I know I'll regret it if I don't
I'm just thinking I don't want to leave 2014
with any regrets
Even if that does mean I'll die. That'll be a big regret but... Y'know I'll be dead, so...
Ah fuck it.
♫ MUSIC: Slow No Wake - Leave The Light On ♫
Oh my god. 
♫ MUSIC: Sufjan Stevens - Now T hat I'm Older ♫
Oh shit 
♫ Sufjan Stevens - Now That I'm Older ♫
The only problem now is that I've got too many layers on, I'm sweating if anything.
Sweating In Iceland. Perhaps the first ever person to get a sweat on in Iceland.
Let's see how the gift shop was
Chelsea, that's my Leo!
No, you're My Leo!
You have to show the-
OH
(Great rounds of laughter)
OK erm
New Year is a very arbitrary thing, it's meaningless, humans give stuff meaning. It's like the alphabet. 
 It's a mess really, isn't it? Just a load of letters! But we give it an order.  
Why does it start with A?
If I had to guess I'd say a Zebra and an Aardvark, probably had a fight. We all know how that turned out.    
The Zebras over here looking all sad. Aardvark up the front...    
Cocky little shit. 
And we're essentially celebrating New Year because we've gone round the sun again, thats what were celebrating: The Sun.
The Sun? Ungrateful.      
Every year we're throwing it a party. "Waheey, another year!" 
In the end it's going to kill us, so...That's how it says thanks.   
Sun: WOOOO
Iceland has very lax firework laws and when our tour guide said:
"At Midnight tonight: It all goes crazy"
I was thinking: "How crazy? How crazy we talking, Secret?" 
That was the name of our tour guide by the way, Secret. Lovely name.
With an hour to go until we finally killed 2014 we headed downstairs into the crowd.
It kinda reminded me of the intro of Saving Private Ryan.
But instead of on a beach its in Iceland. Instead of a war... It's New Year.
So... Not at all, really, similair.  
Just noises. That's the only similarity: Both had noises. 
And it  was all going crazy!
It was going crazy, the tour guide had warned us how crazy it was going, it was crazy.
We'd gone crazy.
This guy was just standing, holding fire, smiling to himself.
And then as it neared midnight, it started snowing. My camera died with a minute to go...
♫ MUSIC: BoyFromTheLastFloor - Минуснаминусестьплюс ♫
And it was 2015 :)
WOOOOOOOO 
YEAAHH 
WELL DONE ICELAND!  
2015!!
Yeah...
Other things to shout.
(Loud explosion of firework)
WOOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOWW
Iceland was nice.
(Sigh from below camera)
Don't sigh before I've even said it.  
NICELAND.
(Groan)
(Outro Da Ding)
