Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly recommend Sabatini's Italian trettoia. It was really good.

I recommend it. If you book through Blue Lagoon, those are the buses there.

I recommend this suite. I don't know if we would have paid full price for it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research your transit options from Heathrow to Southampton, as direct trains may not be available.
In Europe, prepare for very little public toilets; keep local currency for paid restrooms.
Wear hats and sunscreen in Norway, even on cloudy days, to avoid sunburn.
Book the Blue Lagoon shuttle in advance and arrive early to avoid crowds.
