...earlier but there wasn't a cloud insight. I left The Slightly Chilled Guest House around 10.30 am. I was about half way up when I could see the clouds starting to gather around the top. If I had left at 8.30 I would have had some amazing views. It wasn't all lost as I still had good views from the top but if I had got my act together and left early it would have been more rewarding. They are putting in new steps and are asking for a donation before entering. It's very hard work of taking the cement up on their heads so please give generously. This letter is continued from the other day. I have now climbed a very thrill seeking hike. It was quite scary at times. I also hiked up Adam's Peak again with a bunch of great spirited people from Israel yesterday. As soon as they arrived they started dancing in the guesthouse. They were in their 50... Read review

...The Travel Inn Guesthouse in Reykjavik benefits from an excellent location and it is apparently very reasonable (difficult to be very accurate on this, see below for why), but I expect that there are nicer places to stay in the city and more reasonable, and maybe even both. The owner is very chatty and quite a character, but this probably doesn't make up for poor value for money. Whilst our accommodation did not spoil our holiday, I think that in retrospect, with a bit more research we could have found somewhere a lot more reasonable that would have been a more pleasant place to stay. ~~~How we came to choose this guesthouse~~~ We know from experience of travelling with our 3 and 7 year old sons that self-catering accommodation is a real bonus. It means that when we get to the end of the day and they are really tired from the day... Read review
