We have planned a trip to Reykjavik, it’s been booked for several months, and we’re finally going in a couple of weeks…If you have been following the news you may of heard that they have been having strong earthquakes, and thing that one of the volcanos, the Bardarbunga volcano could erupt any day. Earlier this week they increased the warning to orange, which is the second highest, and yesterday it was increased to RED! 🙁 They are now saying that it’s almost certainly going to erupt, they just don’t know when, and already small eruptions have happened under the glacier! 🙁
If you remember back in 2010 the Eyjafjallajokul volcano erupted, and not only knocked out flights around Iceland, but the whole of Europe!
I hope we get there, it’s been planned for months and we were going to see a lot of cool things, it was a holiday of a lifetime kind of thing, seeing the Northern Lights etc. I have never been to Iceland and it’s not your every-day holiday destination where you think of going. I can only hope that it doesn’t effect our holiday and we actually get there.
UPDATE – They’ve downgraded the warning to Orange again…Hopefully good news.

I am sure you will enjoy it! Reykjavik is one of the quaintest cities I have been to as it feels like a small town though I did go off-season in November which made it even quieter. I was there just months before the last volcanic eruption! I recommend taking the trip to the top of the church tower for some stunning shots of the colourful roofs of the city and the Blue Lagoon is a great place to relax and unwind – really refreshing!
