Having recently returned from a trip to Iceland I thought to share my experiences and adventures. From driving in hurricane-like weather to staying in the luxurious Hotel Borg in Reykjavik – I can truly say my trip was full of wonderful experiences and sights full of continuous contrasts. I kept asking myself, where in the world can you drive for miles and see nothing but lava fields, waterfalls abound, black sand deserts, glaciers galore and empty roads….the answer, no where but here in Iceland.
To further Iceland’s wonderful appeal the food was fabulous too. Being a pesco-vegetarian sometimes travelling abroad can be slightly pesky in terms of finding a variety of dishes to try but I can truly say every restaurant offered a range of dishes, all of which I devoured to my delight. The delicious giant sized portions of fish, tasty skyr yoghurt, delightful chocolate (of which I ate a lot!) and fantastic restaurants, Iceland definitely ticks all the boxes for me!
As soon as I landed in Iceland I felt relaxed, with so much space and untouched surroundings it is hard not to feel anything but serene. Travelling along the south coast we visited many a waterfall, of which I have never experienced such a thundering and powerful fall as Seljalandsfoss. Incredible. In Iceland you really see the full force of Mother Nature and never have I seen a country so clearly shaped by its geological history, it really is a geologist’s paradise. I had a wonderful trip and would recommend Iceland to anyone interested in seeing a truly unique country.

Iceland is such an amazing place with an almost addictive quality. I can't remember the number of times I've been now! There's always something else I want to see, that I have to keep going back.
You're right about the food – it is good. It has certainly come on in leaps and bounds over the years.
Iceland is good for the soul.
