Destination 2 of my 14 day family cruise with Holland America to Northwestern Europe is three ports in Iceland!
What can I say? Iceland is a pretty cool place. It's very different from anywhere else I've been, and I imagine it's sort of what the Canadian tundra would look like.... if the Canadian tundra was built on years and years of volcanic rock? So really, what I'm trying to say is, there is really no place I can compare Iceland to but itself, and it is a very interesting place. There were lots of cool rock formations covered in grass and other small foliage, along with what I liked to call "tiny Christmas trees". Geysers. Hot springs. And you really got the sense that this was indeed a very small country with a very small population.
Also. Damn. This place is expensive. Let's get started, shall we?

Eurotrip 2018 - Scotland (Edinburgh and Inverness)
Hello, I'm back.
I've actually gone on a few trips since my last post - my biggest one was a trip to Northern Spain which I apparently never wrote about. The sad thing is I created all the posts ahead of time and then just... never wrote them, so that trip will never be remembered properly. Instead, I have come to share my latest trip I took which was a family cruise to Northwestern Europe on the Holland America cruise line.
My trip started in Toronto (which is where I have since relocated). I met up with my parents at YYZ and we took the flight together from Toronto to Amsterdam, which was where out boat was leaving from. We left on the evening of August 4th and arrived the morning of August 5th in Amsterdam where we also met up with my brother who had arrived a week earlier. We got on the boat at around 1pm, and the boat officially set sail at 5pm.
