Fulfilling a light dream

I've been trawling the internet for weeks looking for where to go on holiday next. A hot country? An interesting city? Visit Santa? And I finally decided to check off one on my travel list and decided on Iceland. I searched Reyjavik high and low for a good deal in which I wouldn't end up in a cheap b&b (when I say cheap, I guess I mean tacky...as nothing's cheap in Iceland) with a nightclub in the basement and tourists flooding the place. 

I kept searching and kept losing patience at how many options there were. I decided to ring the company who sorted out my Burma flights who have the most exceptional service I've ever experienced from a travel company. It's Dial-A-Flight, by the way. 

They suggested a holiday to a place in the middle of nowhere in South Iceland. Specifically for Northern lights, which is why I want to go Iceland. 

The hotel has outdoor hot tubs and surrounded by lakes, mountains and glaciers. It looks amazing. Although the price deterred me a bit...you only live once! 

I just hope I actually manage to capture some northern lights. Watching them from a hot tub sounds pretty amazing to me! And hopefully I can make some snow angels and snowmen too :) 

It's been weird not travelling this year. I can't say I miss it.... But I do miss visiting random places I've never been to before. Working in an office environment, although not quite the normal office, is quite a change. I have to sit still for long periods of time! Not easy for someone like me... I've been used to bounding around the world, constantly being busy and physically active. 

Now I eat cake and play with servers. 

Anyway I am too excited about going away again in December. I can't wait. It always excites me to go to a new place and I usually look for the unusual. I am still searching the net for random things that can be done while in Iceland. I have 5 days to fit as much chilling, light searching and snow playing in :) 

Bring on December!
