In no particular order:
I thought Iceland was one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever been to.
I went in their summer which was colder than our winter and me and DH were there for a week.
The ground is volcanic and the whole landscape looks like green moonscape with occasional snow and shards of ice thrown in.
Puffins are soooo cute.
My favourite part was staying in a home in the middle of nowhere. The hostess cooked great food.
Swimming in the geothermal pools was great fun.
It’s a very ‘green’ country - lots of recycling, geothermal energy, all food local, clothing made up of recycled material etc.
They love their sour and bitter flavours which leads me to my #1 lesson from Iceland:
If you have bipolar and are on meds do NOT indulge in their grapefruit juice. It is a bad idea. I fell in love with it, drank it daily and by the time our 2nd week of holidays began in Denmark I was already experiencing both lithium and Seroquel toxicity.
I’d love to visit again and just avoid the grapefruit.
