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...
