Breaking the ICE

As part of the Travel Belles first Across the Café Table question of 2012, bloggers have been asked...

In 2012 where do you most want to go but haven’t yet, & why?


After a quick look at the 'Where I want to go' section of this blog, and realising I would have to make a tough decision, my ambition for 2012 is...Iceland! Granted, Iceland has had a bit of a hard time of late; the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in March 2012, consequently disrupting flights across Europe and causing inconvenience/general havoc. Let's not even mention the banking crisis...

Actually, it's 'thanks' to the banking crisis that Iceland, one of the world's most expensive countries, has become slightly more affordable- reasons I have not to visit this country of astounding natural beauty are dwindling...

Being a self-confessed 'city lover', Iceland seems a strange choice in many respects. Yet who could resist this?



To do in Iceland

-Reykjavik. Iceland's capital packed with wooden houses and a thriving café culture.
-The Blue Lagoon, Iceland's most popular tourist attraction (and geothermal spa, no less).
-See the Northern Lights (between September and April). Absolutely breathtaking (so I've heard)
-Whale watching
-Eat delicacies, e.g. puffin heart. Er...perhaps not!


I'm off to listen to Sigur Rós...
