‘We should go to Jökulsárlón,’ Graham said. Really? It is a five hour drive from Reykjavik, so this was going to be ten hours of driving. But the essential rule when travelling is, 'never say no', so we nicked some food from the hotel breakfast to make into sandwiches, and we set off before dawn. It was March. Still bloody cold. But you want Iceland to be cold. The road twists around the southern coastline, past the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano, and it is a spectacular drive. And OMG! Jökulsárlón is utterly worth the trip.
I promise to post more of Iceland – but for the four of us (Sue, me, Graham, Jen) Jökulsárlón was the highlight. It is where the great Vatnajökull glacier calves off into the sea. It is awe inspiring and humbling and beautiful. If you visit Iceland, put it on the top of your list.
