Thank you!

I have a question for him, and I'm not sure where to address it. I've heard that people can go snorkelling in the sifra rift (in Pingvellir National Park) and I was wondering if there would be time in our itinery to do this.... Thanks again!

Hi Sarah
Snorkelling in the Silfra Rift is not something that Just You can provide, so you would need to make your own plans if you wanted to do this.
You might find time on New Year's Eve if you don't mind missing the excursion to the Golden Circle, which includes the beautiful Gulfoss waterfall and the Strokhur Geyser.
I'd also suggest making sure your travel insurance covers you for such an activity.
But let me know how you get on - it sounds very exciting!
Kind regards,
Olly, your editor

Hi,
I have found out it isn't possible to buy Icelandic Kroner in the Uk (at the moment. Would it be best to take US dollars or GBP given the current economic climate? Thx Linda

Thanks Olly - do you know what time I'd need to get back for for dinner on new yeare eve?

Hi Sarah
I wouldn't like to say for sure as timings can change, but check with your tour manager when the group meets up.
If you need to book your dive before then, I'm sure you'd be fine getting back by around 6pm.
