Iceland

[van cleef]

I've got some time off in November, and my missus has mentioned Iceland, which I'm slowly warming to

I've looked at trip advisor for places to stay, and things to do but I'm none the wiser.

Has anybody been and have any recommendations/ tips.

I was there week before last.

Booked it all through icelandair as a package just to keep things simple.

You can choose various excursions in advance but it's just as easy to book ones when you are there - we did both.

Or you can hire a car and go your own way of course.

Hotel wise we stayed at the leifur eiriksson - nothing too fancy but has all you need really.

Boat trip to see northern lights was a highlight. Also plenty enough to see in Reykjavik itself if you just want to have a day in town.

Thanks for that as the furthest I had decided on was seeing the northern lights.

I might try and squeeze a boat trip to do a bit of whale spotting.
