Default ICELAND frozen section.

We just done Iceland in winter and it's amazing.
-11 was the coldest we got down to and it did make me beard freeze.
It was just going to be me and my wife as her 40 Birthday present but we had to take our 3 younger children. Then the 2 older ones wanted to come. So it ended up a full family holiday which was great as the 2 older ones never want to come with us.
We went for 3 nights and only took hand luggage. We had to do this on the cheap. We hired a 8seater land cruiser which done it's job. It did get stuck a couple of times in deep snow but a few wiggles back and forth got us out.
The apartment we had was fantastic, heated floors throughout including the garage and even the driveway was heated. Mains hot water is pumped into the house's.
We done the golden circle. The Reykjavik bit we done on the first day and the rest on the second day and it took all day. The next day we tried to get to Vik along the south coast but the road was closed due to strong winds cars were literally being blown off the road. So we traveled through the lava field which is well worth it.
The whole cost including airport parking, fuel, all food and £60 worth of duty free and card transactions was £1428 ... £204 per person
So Iceland can be done on the cheap.

Thumbs up Nice one !

Iceland was on my Bucket List circa 2007- I hesitated at the cost then when I had the dosh my Heart Failure made it impossible - hot places only from now on but not too warm !

Iceland sounds a really exciting place, good that you made the effort and got to sample the place.

The place is made for it
Like you we did it on the cheap and will be returning this year again.
We got lucky and our return flight was delayed overnight. I've since claimed back 800 euro less commission
Big boy 4x4 session next time
