XMAS in ICELAND

---

We went to Iceland for XMAS with Daves family who are also over here (Daves cousin Mike and is wife Caz and Jen Irlam).
This was the most amazing holiday ever for the unbelievable scenery.. It was also very cold it reached a high of -8 degrees on our first day there with a wind chill factor of something rediculous.

We hired a car and drove around the surrounding areas of the capital Reykavik. So here are all the photos which really dont do it justice. Hope everyone had a great XMAS too!!!!

The sun was going down. There was not too much day light with sunrise at 11 and sunset at about 4pm.

Waterfall
Our next stop on the day trip was the most amazing waterfall. Yet it was -8 outside and we were getting the water spray off the waterfall and wind chill. Very cold but worth the view....
