Iceland has been on my bucket list since I fell in love with Bjork in college and WOW’s cheap flights were just too good to pass up. But Iceland is notoriously expensive, and I am notoriously cheap. So we tried something a little different this year for our annual summer trip. We booked a ten-day trip to Iceland and planned to rent a car and camp for 7 days, then spend a few days in the city. We were able to bring everything but a tent without checking a baggage and we rented a car from Avis since I didn’t trust any of the budget Icelandic companies (which all get terrible reviews).
For a budget airline, WOW was fine. We’ve flown better, but we’ve also flown Ryanair (so much worse). We stayed at KEX hostel for our first night. The building is an old converted biscuit factory, with a full bar and live music. We checked in and were able to walk most of the city in a single day. The weather was exactly as we expected, cold and rainy. There was great live jazz playing at the hostel when we returned. We were pretty jet-lagged, but I stayed up for both sets (Sunni hates jazz and chose to sleep).
We had to buy lots of new gear for this trip. Somehow we found it all in black.
