We are traveling as a family (2 adults, 2 upper elementary school-aged kids) to Iceland in July. We will be traveling in and out of Reykjavik, touring the Snaefellsness Peninsula, the South Coast, and the Westman Islands.
We are planning to get groceries to make 1-2 meals per day in our AirBnBs to cut down on our food costs, enjoying one restaurant meal each day. We have a couple of days where we only stay 1 night at a location, though. All of our lodging has refrigerators so we can stock up on some fresh foods, but then will need to transport the food for many hours on the days when we are touring and changing towns.
Any advice on whether or not I should bring a soft-sided cooler and reusable ice packs, or do they have readily accessible (and cheap) disposable/recyclable ones there? I would prefer to travel lightly (and greenly), but I think having a way to keep some of our food cold en route to new towns will end up being a necessity! I'd love to hear any advice from people who have traveled to Iceland and hopped around with their groceries in tow!
