In Iceland

We arrived safely in Reykjavik and quickly found that the prices here are VERY expensive. About $10AU for a block of chocolate at the duty free shop on the way in......

We picked up our car - a Kia Sportage (very nice) and made our way to the beautiful 'Blue Lagoon' - a thermal pool. I wasn't going to go in, but Dave said I was. I am glad I took his advice!



After about a couple of hours, we headed off to Reyjkevic to find our apartment. The GPS worked pretty well, once Lawrie figured it out, although we do wonder if it took us on the scenic route!

The GPS took us to the place we needed to be, only the street was blocked off for roadworks. About three times around the block and we sussed out where to park.


Very comfortable beds - from IKEA, I think!

Friday was the day for our Icelandic photo tour. We met Tony at the end of the street (!) and went on our 10 hour tour of Snaefellsness peninsular. Tony is a Bit who has moved here for love and has been here for 10 years. We just about learnt his life story and his view on politics.....
He took us to many lovely places and we picked his brain for things to watch out for and a few photographic tips.


We finished up at the place where everyone wants to photograph and it features on the wall of Charles de Gaulle airport.
 
A sound sleep was had by all.
