** Traditionally, Iceland has been a very expensive place to visit from anywhere...let alone Australia. It's hard to find a place on earth further away from Australia than Iceland... And yet, here it is, on top of a list of value for money destinations.
We've always wanted to go...but time & cash are currently fairly significant obstacles.
Oh, and wanting to visit some other people and places first :)
