ICELAND IS STUNNING, R AIN, HAIL OR SHINE
In Iceland there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. During our voyage,
the sun shone brightly most days, and sunscreen was a must. Our only rainy day was a bonus
rather than a disappointment as the scenery was moody and dramatic and waterfalls flowed
down the cliffs as we drove from one scenic highlight to the next in our tour bus. While we
had initially hoped for perfect weather, we discovered that any kind of day is a winner with
scenery this good.
WILDFLOWERS ARE EVERYWHERE
During summer, bright purple lupines
impor ted from Alaska to hold the volcanic
soil together with their strong root system
create a stunning purple carpet across the
landscape. Ever y where you look there are
also colour ful local wildflowers that aren't
just beautiful to look at, they also make for
truly stunning photos.
