On my 60th<\/sup> birthday the children surprised me with a week Iceland. Halfway between Europe and the USA it was the perfect meeting place for our family. As Bj\u00f6rk sings: Iceland is \u201coh so quiet\u201d and as we experienced “oh so beautiful”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Icelandair, KLM, SAS fly several times a week between Amsterdam and Reykjavik. When you arrive at Keflavik airport you can rent a car. A car is the most used way to get around on the Island. There are no trains and public transport (buss passport), or taxis are expensive. Because there is a Ring Road \u201cthe Hringvegurinn\u201d most of the time you will be able to reach your destination. Be aware that it can be difficult to drive in Winter. Other possibilities are ferries to the surrounding islands or domestic flights, but we did not use that so I cannot tell you from personal experience how that works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We stayed in air B&Bs both in Reykjavik and in the countryside. Because we arrived close to Reykjavik, we did some grocery shopping there and off we went to our lovely cottage. With a jacuzzi and the most beautiful views, we really arrived in a completely different world. We did not know how to warm the water of the jacuzzi but after a phone call to the owner, we learned the hot water came straight from a hot spring in the garden! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to visit in Iceland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This time no interior shopping for me, but of course a lot of nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
