Last week I set off to Iceland with the hopes of fulfilling one of my Bucket List desires: Seeing the Northern Lights. Trying not to get my hopes up too much, I flew into Reykjavik with four days (or rather, four nights) to try my luck at seeing the heavens dance with green lights.
The first two of nights in Iceland were met with mixed success. Now, the hunt continues.....
Not all those who wander are lost - but I'll be disappointed if I don't get lost frequently!

Clare and I both groan at the misery of getting up so bloody early, a few sorry hours since we had finally stopped chatting and switched off the headlamps.
Welcome to a new day, it is 3.45am and we have to be on the truck driving out the camp gate in fifteen minutes!
