A honeymoon in Iceland

I was delighted to be asked to put together an exciting and exploratory honeymoon to beautiful Iceland for my good friends Jen and Ric. Five days of romantic times, driving in snow and seeing the Northern Lights – here’s what they thought:

- Where did you go on your honeymoon and have you been there before?

We’ve just been to incredible Iceland – never been before but it’s been on the ‘bucket list’ for a very long time!

- How would you rate it out of 10 as an all-round destination and as a honeymoon destination?

9/10 definitely! What a magical place, despite the snow flurries and crazy February temperatures, it really was such an adventure which was just what we asked for.

- Is there anything you wished you could have seen/visited or done which you didn’t have time for?

We would have loved to have stayed longer to explore the north and east of the island but unfortunately time just didn’t allow, this time. If we went again, we would like to visit in the summer to get more of a feel for the colours and landscape – the day before our arrival it snowed more than it had done since 1937! We would explore closer to Vik to see the waterfalls there and perhaps fly east, and add about 10 days to our trip!

- What was your favourite food/restaurant or bar there?

There were lots of really nice places in Reykjavik to eat and drink. We also really liked Kaffi Krus in Selfoss. My favourite eatery was a little, simple and slightly scruffy cafe in Hveragerdi called Gottis og Maeran – delicious ice cream!

- Would you go back?

Absolutely! I think it’s already planned in my head, so watch this space - Melissa I'll be in touch!
