Iceland - what do I need to take?
Discussion
Just got back.
We had a 4 days there and as bullet points are easier:
Didn't see the lights, it was stormy and mild over there (8 degrees). Just like a wet miserable day in the UK
It has 330,000 inhabitants and 6.8 million visitors a year!
Prices are VERY HIGH on most things. A beer is £9 and that's not shocking because its so much for a beer, its shocking because its just an example of the prices there. I think it is the world's most expensive place to visit.
Blue lagoon was very nice and modern
Waterfalls were very scenic
Driving is easy as there is so little on the roads. We had a Subaru Forrester which was nice and didn't have any issues with other drivers.
It would have looked lovely in the snow (90% had melted) but given how much driving we did I was slightly glad it wasn't snowing.
It was so mild we never used our cramp-ons, thermal undies, or even warm socks. As above you defiantly need a good coat that blocks out the wind, ideally with a hood.
We had a good time but for me there wasn't much 'wow' as there was for others on here, probably because a windy, cold and wet country anywhere is always a bit depressing. I am sure in the snow it'd more 'picture postcard'.
Would I go back? No.it was interesting but nothing more than that for me.
