For my last bank holiday in the UK, I headed to the weird and wonderful Iceland, joined by Alison and Kiwi friends Sarah and Glen (pronounced "Glin").

We based ourselves in Reykjavik (staying at a really cool place called Home Luxury Apartments - if anyone is looking for a hotel tip) and headed off in the 4WD each day to explore the sprouting geysers, lava fields, ice-capped mountains, and thundering waterfalls that make up Iceland's breathtaking landscape.

We didn't see any of the elves or trolls that lurk in the moutains according to Icelandic folklore, but we did get a chance to do some traditional dogsledding which was fantastic fun (the dogs were so cute - although apparently deadly), and we made the most of the near 24 hour sunlight.

I hope everyone is well back home, and I'm looking forward to seeing you when I move back in August.

love Ver
