Icelandic people have a phrase – ‘rúsínan í pylsuendanum’ – which literally translates as ‘the raisin at the end of the hot dog’. It is their version of the ‘cherry on top’.
Simply put it means a pleasant surprise or the highlight of a day.
Iceland had been on my bucket list for some time and after a weekend in Reykjavik, it is hard to say exactly what my ‘raisin’ was.
