Iceland here we come
Sunday, June 13, 2010 Better late than never I have just booked my summer holiday and yes, we're going on another cruise, this time to Iceland where we will visit Reykjavik (above) and Akureyri.
Perhaps now I might actually see some of that elusive volcanic ash.
After Iceland the ship will sail to Norway - Aalesund, Hellesylt and Geiranger. No, I've never heard of them either, but visiting the Norwegian fjords is something I've always wanted to do.
The children, needless to say, are thrilled. Not.
What is it with teenagers? When I was a child I was grateful to go anywhere, including the Shetland Isles which we reached via overnight ferry - while high on seasickness pills - from Aberdeen. Today they want sun, sea and superfast broadband - guaranteed.
Sorry, no can do. Iceland here we come!

Oh! - Iceland...how thrilling!
I've been there. I loved it. Take a trip to the hard Rock Cafe and make sure you get a t-shirt. Always a good conversation starter when back at home.
"Today they want sun, sea and superfast broadband - guaranteed."
They sound very well adjusted and sensible youngsters.The thought of not having interet access is a serious worry.
