Well maybe not Mum, but I recently went out to Iceland to discover more about what is a really interesting island, just a couple of hours north of Scotland. One of the first things you come across upon arrival at the airport in Keflavik is the vast amounts of alcohol in the arrivals lounge. Now you may think this is normal, but up until 1989 Iceland was still in prohibition, with the population celebrating ‘Beer Day’ every year on the 1st March. So it is seen as custom if you are staying or visiting Icelanders to bring alcohol.
The country as a whole is relatively small, but has scenery that will blow your mind. Many films have been filmed in the ‘space-like’ landscape and NASA do some of their training here.
In terms of things to do and see, you can go on one of many arranged guided tours, or alternatively hire a 4×4 and go out into the Golden-Circle yourself. Many different sizes of waterfalls including the magnificent Gullfoss which at 20m wide and 2.5km in length should definitely be top of the list to see.
Finally on your way back to the airport, you can get a bus that incorporates a trip to the Blue Lagoon, your chance to relax in the geo-thermal water, renound for its benefits to the skin.
All in all, a holiday you will remember for life and possibly choose to return, as there is so much to do.
