TO ICELAND AND BACK TWICE IN A MONTH by Anthea Gerrie on Fri 25th Sep 2009 at 10:40 am |

It's been 20 years since I first visited Iceland - and then, as now, I made two trips very close together, one to the capital, the other to the beautiful wild countryside. Knocked out as much as ever by the rural landscape, and astonished by the uber-cool capital Reykjavik has become.
Can't wait for the new service which will open up the north and east of the country next year - and spur my fifth visit. Have become an expert on both foodie developments and the Saga trail, great new reasons to write about this stunning destination.

"In 1992 I was invited to join the inaugural flight of Richard Branson's Vintage Airways, an airline operating holiday flights from Orlando to Key West using two restored Douglas DC3 aircraft offering 1940's style service, livery, uniforms and experience—one of their signature moments was the excited announcement from the flight deck that they had just heard on the radio, news of the Japanese surrender in the Pacific. I remember the thing that surprised me most—besides Japan tenaciously holding on for another 50 years—was having to walk steeply uphill to my seat."
