When James first suggested we detour our trip around the UK and Ireland to Iceland I didn’t really know what to expect. Turns out that odd, rocky, snowy, place would be the one that keeps calling me to come back.
For those that don’t obsessively follow travel Instagram accounts (shameless plug, follow me! @Laurenpardee) you might not be aware of the immense natural beauty of this island. It’s difficult to put in to words the various states of awe I experienced driving around, but I hope the photos help.
If you get the chance to take advantage of Icelandair’s generous layover program, or make Iceland your only destination, do it. Go. You won’t regret it.
We’ve taken two different trips one in December of 2014 and one in November of 2015. Our second trip was a suprise and is where we got engaged! (What can I say, we’re cold weather people). Links to some of our favorite and not so favorite things are below.
