I read all I can on Iceland, could pronounce the name of That Volcano and have recently started re-reading the sagas ... but I have still never managed to go there.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-60335406539264287332012-07-29T10:46:43.703+01:002012-07-29T10:46:43.703+01:00Ah, a difficult choice...

Life and family got in the way and I think it unlikely I will ever get to go.
