    I was at Reynisfjara black beach just the other day. It is truly amazing! On the other side of the headland is basically the same beach, without all the tourists. It’s possibly my favourite place in Iceland, there’s something so beautiful about the black sand, the mountains in the background, the stunning geological features and the crashing waves. Not to mention the breathtaking waterfalls, glaciers, mountains and volcanoes!

    I went to Iceland in June last year and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. By far the best place I've ever been. Although I went with a group on a guided tour so next time Id definitely want to go in the winter time and explore in my own time so thanks so much for the tips!!! I can totally vouch for Reykjavík being expensive - I spent the equivalent of FOURTEEN POUNDS on a tiny notebook in this boutique shop. Would highly recommend visiting the penis museum also - such a laugh
