Arrived in Iceland this morning , Sunday, at 7 AM. Found our way to baggage claim and then to the arrival gate. My husband chose to change our USD currency at the Iceland airport. No fee. Exchange rate wasn't insane.
I wandered to the tourist guide/pamphlet desk. I like reading material.
Purchased our round trip flybus tickets to hotel and back to airport. Stepped outside to seek bus and saw snow. It had snowed and we got the end of it. Exciting.
The flybus tendants loaded our luggage and we boarded. I sat next to a stranger on the bus and we sparked a conversation. He was from Chicago but actually from The Woodlands, TX. He graduated high school in '03. He was visiting a friend I Iceland
Stopped at a bus station to unload people but we ...
Whooo, past out and took a nap.
So the bus took us directly to our hotel. We were able to check in early. The receptionist was such a sweetheart and very nice. She told us we needed to make reservations for Tuesday night (New Years Eve) and helped us with where to go in the city to gain our grounds.
We got to the room and then ate breakfast which was provided by the hotel. After returning to the room for a power nap we showered and headed out to the town.
Walked the city. I plan on getting a sweater & lava jewelry. The shirts here are funny. Plan on getting one.
Ate at a hole in the wall place with a yummy burger , lots of fries and a drink. Expensive though to eat out. So on way back, we went to grocery store to buy hot chocolate, noodles and cookies. We saw lazy town things at this hole in a wall place. Had to take a picture. It was filmed here.
The church closed at 5 for viewing from tower. The city was decorated still for Christmas. Beautiful. While walking I saw a glacier from afar. Tomorrow I will have to visit it. And take the ferry across.
It is only daylight here for less than 5 hours. One must use that to their advantage. Shops close after.
