we are planning a trip to Iceland in Feb, hoping to do a 4X4 self drive explore type holiday.
pre booked accommodation in a couple of different places, and roam around seeing the area.
just wondering if anyone had done similar, what to see, maybe what not to bother with ?
any tips, companies to look for when planning etc.
PS: would like to see the northern lights as they are a long time "must do" for both of us, and they are supposed to be stronger than ever in 2012 according to NASA ?
I've been skiing for 5 weeks over 4 years in Sweden & Finland and STILL haven't seen the northern lights. Maybe I'll see them this year then, but good luck! Sounds like a cool trip.
The days will still be quite short in Feb. Why not go in March, it makes quite a difference?
it has to be feb due to work commitments I'm afraid.
i'm going to be in iceland from 14-19th Feb on a similar vacation. STW iceland ride perhaps? leave the ladies lounging at the spa...
David, I'm planning on being as lazy as possible 
(1st plan was Veg out on a beach in Cape Verde, but that was overuled as being a bit too lazy)
What have you arranged so far ?
