"Iceland = Amazing!!" Iceland by sue_stone

Iceland Travel Guide: 6,197 reviews and 14,646 photos

In the past, Iceland was not a place I ever knew much about. It was not on my "Must See" list. I didn't know anyone that had been there.

But since moving to London, I met more and more people who were raving about Iceland, so I started to learn more about it....and the more I read and the more pictures I saw, the more excited I became about seeing this country for myself - and I am so glad I did!!

My husband Alex was particularly excited about this trip, as he says he has been dreaming about going to Iceland for a number of years....in fact he was so excited that he planned the whole trip and I could just sit back and relax and discover this breathtaking country.

For full details of the (much too short) trip, please visit my travelogue to read a full trip report, written by Alex.

For tips and info on Reykjavik, visit my Reykjavik page.

Oh - and you should really add Iceland to your wish list - you won't be disappointed!
