Hello, glad to hear of someone else travelling to Iceland for the New Year. I did the same trip 2 years ago. It was such a good time that I am repeating it. The New Years Eve was fantastic, lovely restaurant, just a fabulous time. Quite smart dress that night, but also need to take a bag with warm clothes as we go to the bonfire during the evening also, before returning to the restaurant. Different hotel this time, but just round the corner from before. It's about half hour walk into the city. Golden circle trip really worth doing, also northern lights. We did get to see the northern lights, but it was freezing cold, but the local guide persevered until we were successful. Bring lots of warm clothes! This trip was one of my favourite JY trips.
