We found a really good package deal for the trip through Secret Escapes. This included two excursions and free admission to a fabulous local swimming complex with hot thermal pools, bed (muchly comfortable), breakfast (totally tasty), flights and transfers.
The hotel was very IKEAish but no less lovely because of it.

We found our way around very quickly and the Icelandic folk are very friendly and keen to help with directions and information. We even managed to take the bus out of town to a rather fine old wool mill, more of that later.
Interesting.... It's a place I've always wanted to visit. Xx
ReplyDeleteI am going to check out their website - I like the Ikea look, it suits Scandinavia. Have you noticed the way they always have lots of candles flickering away all the time. It is something to do with their long dark nights, however, soon they will be daylight for nearly 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteMy son has just left Norway after 5 years, and Norway is very expensive. He is always telling me that a small size Mars bar costs £2 there.
