From the Blue Lagoon, we headed east along empty roads towards the mountainous interior. We soon learned that driving anywhere in Iceland was going to take us much longer than expected – partly because of the snowy conditions (I’m very glad we hired a 4x4), and partly because we ended up stopping every few minutes to marvel at yet another amazing view. Eventually, we descended into a wide . . .
Iceland | A visit to the Blue Lagoon
Chris and I have just returned from our longed-for visit to Iceland, and what an incredible week we had. The country was everything we’d hoped for and more: otherworldly, elemental, strikingly beautiful, and completely and utterly magical.
