New Icelandic novel, hot off the press!

My Walter Mitty Moment

A Warm Welcome

I’m back in Iceland, and so happy to be here. The night we arrived I’d chosen to stay near to Keflavik airport in a hotel that I have been looking forward to trying out. Never make a judgement based on first impressions. This is a single storey building that has been set into the lava with a  geothermal power station as a backdrop. You’d probably drive on by. But I hoped that I knew better and wasn’t disappointed at all.  We had a very comfortable room, delicious breakfast and before leaving, had time to explore the beautiful interiors within. The hotel offers some important extras that mean that I’m certainly adding it to my list of tried, tested and very much enjoyed places to recommend and book for Iceland Traveller’s guests. Enjoy the few photos here and be sure to let me know if you’d like to find out more. This is a perfect place to enjoy the aurora.
