We have moved on to a new hotel, Hotel Katla, which it soooooo unbelievably romantic!
From our window in the far distance, we can see we can see mahoooosive waves breaking on the the black volcanic beach. We are almost in the middle of nowhere, under the shadow of Katla, the largest and most active volcanoes in Iceland ……..
…… Stuart says if it decides to blow we have to move immediately, which even Nigel finds slightly worrying, and as such has been keeping an hourly spume watch since we arrived.
Our first hotel was very modern and lacking atmosphere, however Hotel Katla is very much to our taste and style with it’s wooden panelled rooms, rustic chandeliers and antlers …..
…. ambient lighting ……
…… Icelandic net pelmets ……
…….. and very welcoming fish and chip suppers …..
…… not to mention the opportunity to do a little Icelandic lounging on squashy real leather sofas !!!
Yes, Hotel Katla will do us very nicely, this is how we dreamt it would be ……. however, if we hear or feel even the faintest of rumblings in the night we will definitely be the first on the Johann’s vunderbus ….. and why we have chosen not to wear our pyjamas during our stay!
Oh boyz - you do make me chuckle - I would be with you on the no pyjamas!!! JantheFan x
