The First Day in Iceland

What a great start to the trip. Everything went really smoothly – except the plane was an hour late leaving Denver because of the winds, TSA broke Annie’s lock (which was a TSA approved one and supposedly they could just open easily), we missed our tour in Reykjavik, we had a terrible time unlocking the lock box at our house/room rental, the winds here are fierce and it’s freezing. Actually, we rescheduled the tour with no trouble, spent most of yesterday walking around the city and taking a free walking tour, our room is in a great location – right in the middle of the city, it’s got a great kitchen and we share it with 4 other rooms in the apartment (2 baths), were able to get a good/cheap pizza for lunch and bought bread, butter and cheese to make sandwiches for dinner. Our bags are much heavier to lug around than I expected so we’ll have to make some adjustments but all in all it’s been a great start. Oh yeah, Annie slept over 9 hours last night (over double her normal sleep time) and I was up before her for the first time ever so you know things are going well. The internet at the apartment is very spotty so I don’t know when I’ll actually post this.

The city is nice and pretty empty right now because it’s a holiday. Plenty of shops and it reminds me a little of Halifax because of the harbor and fishing vessels. Too cold to eat outside but most places have tables set up anyway. People are very friendly and it seems like a lot of tourists. Everyone speaks English which makes it easy to ask for directions.
