HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Firstly, How was everyone's New Year, did you all have fun?? Secondly, do you all like my new blog, I gave it a bit of a make-over!
If you follow me on Instagram or on Snapchat then you will know that I went to Iceland for New Year, it was a place that I had heard was insane to visit but just never thought I would make it there. Ringing in the bells in another country with the hustle of Edinburgh was so relaxing!! I had the best time and I thought I would share some pictures!
As there was 6 of us that went we booked a cute Airbnb in Hestfjall, just outside Selfoss. It was absolutely stunning, it was more like a cabin, it was so cute and cozy. Waking up to this view every morning was just a dream!!
We got into Iceland super late on the 29th so the first proper day was the 30th. The girls had booked to go Snorkeling in Thingvellir National Park, however, I decided not to due to my bad ears! Watching them struggle to get the suits on was funny but at the same time quite stressful. I got great views of the snow and mountains, and as much as it was freezing I love soaking it all in!
The second day (31st) was all about the Blue Lagoon, this is what I most excited about! We paid for standard but on the day we upgraded to premium, we got robes and flip flops and were able to use most face masks, as well as get a drink at the bar. The water was stunning and it was so relaxing, deffo one of my highlights and the best way to spend the last day of 2016!
We then went back to the cabin, played a few games, got a little merry and rung in the new year with viewing The Northern Lights singing 'Auld Lang Syne'.
The next day we decided to tackle the Golden Circle' by ourselves, we had the car so it was perfect. We had researched the main places and headed off. First stop was the Keris Crater, then we drove to Gulfoss Waterfall, which was stunning! Lastly was the Hot Springs Geysir! We had a bite to eat and then headed but, we did the whole thing into 3/4 hours which was amazing!
We had planned a cruise to see the Northern Lights but unfortunately due to the weather it was canceled so we headed into Reykjavik for some dinner, I wished I could have spent more time there, as it was such a cute little town!
We left very early on the Monday to catch the flight, having a smoothie and crying over how expensive the Victoria's Secret was at the airport! :(
Hope you enjoy my pics, photo cred to Steph and Danielle on a few pictures!!

The pictures are beautiful, credit to some of your friends of course but it all ties in to your blog post perfectly. It looks like you had the most magical time and you've officially convinced me to start looking into visiting Iceland at some point in the next few years, so you'll have to tell me all the deets! Great post Emma, and happy new year x
