Planning a trip is difficult at the moment, but one of the easier places to travel to (if you’ve been fully vaccinated) is Iceland. Is it on the green list? Yes. Is it the classic summer holiday? Hmm, not so much.

But the windowless, sunlight-abandoned room didn’t really seem like the best place for a living creature (apart from me during my toileting and showering).
