Iceland Holiday Planning

I really get a kick of itinerary planning for a holiday. This time it was 4 days in Iceland. I have wanted to go to Iceland for the longest time. However the cost of flights etc. had always put me off. It was a toss up between a cheaper holiday to Amsterdam or splash out for Iceland. We decided to treat ourselves and go for the latter. I am so glad we did, as the holiday turned out to be one of the most memorable!

We went just after the Easter holidays in mid April 2013; flights were 100 GBP per person with Easyjet. As we are from Scotland, everyone thought we were crazy for going somewhere colder than home!

Not long into reading about Iceland, I realised that 4 days and 3 nights was not enough time. My girlfriend and I made a list of 'must-do's'. They were; Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle Tour, Husky Sledging, and a hunt for the Northern Lights. 

Hiring a car was the most cost effective, it meant we didn’t need to get transfers to the hotel or to the Blue Lagoon. But more importantly, it meant we could do the Golden Circle Tour ourselves.
