comment Why is public transport from/to the airport so expensive?
London City Airport is in Zone 3 (not that it changes anything). Also to get EasyBus tickets for £2 you need to book months in advance, on the day they are at least £8.

When it says "2 passengers", does it include the driver? I.e. if there is only the driver and one other person in the car, do they count as "2 passengers"?

As far as I know these paque booking sites usually target better hotels (4* an up), and these usually don't have free wifi, at least in the rooms...

Your schedule looks rather tight, it might take a while to disembark the ferry in the first place...

comment Iceland over Christmas period
Thanks for a detailed answer! Coming back to point (1), did I understand correctly that if the weather is favourable then you are guaranteed to see the northern lights? What time of night does it usually happen (e.g. hour)?

comment Are there any cafes serving breakfast in Bakewell / Peak District that open around 8 on Sundays?
After checking in person, I can confirm that all the cafe's seem to open at 9:00 AM. There is quite a few of them, so everyone should find something suitable.
