A Trip to Reykjavik, Iceland - 20th April 2017

It's nearly Nosher's 50th birthday, so Isobel arranges a trip to Ísland and the city of Reykjavik, whilst the boys are looked after thanks to Sarah and Suey. On our first night in the town, we get a taste of just how eye-wateringly expensive stuff can be - it's something we'd heard about, but nothing quite prepares you for it until you're actually there.
