New Year’s Eve need not be over rated, anti-climatic and overpriced. Having spent the last six years in different cities, from London, to Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and Abu Dhabi, we love finding a new destination to enjoy the celebrations of New Years Eve. To ring in 2016 we picked Iceland. Iceland has to be one of […]
Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina is quirky and conveniently located in the heart of Reyjkavik. The views from the room over the marina were breath taking.
