A traveller's reflection: 2018 Ireland and Iceland: 01 Back to Nature Tour

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

2018 Ireland and Iceland: 01 Back to Nature Tour

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream..."

(Vatnajokull Glacier Lagoon, Iceland)

For the start of our travel in 2018 we picked two awesome countries to visit.

Hubby and I joined Safir Travel with other frequent travellers for a 10-day tour of Ireland and Iceland. In South Ireland, we visited Dublin and Cliff of Moher in Liscannor. In North Ireland we visited Belfast and the Titanic Centre. In Iceland, beside Reykjavik City tour, we took the South Shore Tour and Golden Circle Tour to cover most of the amazing attractions in our Iceland bucket list.

Both Ireland and Iceland are not exactly known for being cheap destinations but they offer stunning scenery, off the beaten paths and hidden gems, quaint towns and friendly people. Given such a short duration, it was quite a challenge to visit all the exciting and interesting places listed in the packed itinerary but Alhamdulillah we covered almost all.
