Photo: Driftwood on A Beach in Northern Iceland

My travel partner Sean kept referring to the driftwood hotel in Iceland and for some reason the detail stuck in my mind so that every time we passed driftwood on the beach i remembered his descriptions of Iceland - the ones that made me want to see it for myself. the funny thing is - there was no driftwood hotel, just the occasional pieces of driftwood on almost every stone cold beach we passed in Iceland.
