When I was visiting Iceland on holiday last year, we went inside some turf houses. A turf house is an unusual kind of traditional home because it has turf and grass on the roof! Icelanders lived in turf houses hundreds of years ago, before homes had running water and electricity. The turf and grass on their roofs helped people to keep warm during the extremely cold winter weather. The design of a turf house is clever because it uses materials that were easy for people to find in Iceland. The one we visited was in a museum. There weren't many windows, so it was dark inside and there wasn't much fresh air. When I noticed that the toilet wasn't inside, I nearly died! Instead, it was in an outhouse - you had to walk outside to get to it! Before we arrived at the museum, I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy myself. In the end, I wasn't disappointed - the turf house was so interesting! It was great fun, but I don't think I would like to live in a turf house.
