We arrived in Iceland at 4: 30am and were supposed to be
picked up at the airport by a company called Green Motion who said they would
be there to pick up when we arrived, were nowhere to be seen. We waited for an
hour we tried calling a few times and finally got a hold of someone to come
pick us and another party up. He finally got there and picked up and took us to
the rental car company.We got are our and headed to our Hotel Laxnes to drop
off our things and try to get an h our of sleep. We had not had much on the
plane because our seats were right before the emergency exit and because of
that our seats didn’t recline. Sleeping straight up is not easy nor comfortable.
We woke up and we were going get
breakfast at the hotel but decided against it. We just grabbed a few things at
the gas station. We drove out to the catch the tour bus. The tour bus took us
to the National Park, the Gulfloss Waterfall, the geysers and another waterfall
that I can’t remember the name at the moment. The tour lasted about 5 hrs. My
favorite thing was be far Gulfloss waterfall. It was incredible!! Boy was Iceland
cold that day and rainy. I wore a light
jacket and a beanie but I was so cold! The mist from the waterfalls in
combination of the rain made it very cold. We went to a restaurant right across form the geysers called the Kantina where I had chicken nuggets and Adam had fish sticks. They had a souvenir
shop attached to it so we bought a few things and headed back to the bus. We
returned to the rental car and looked for a place to eat dinner. We can found a
place called the Celtic Cross it was delicious. The lady running the restaurant
had a small dog that greeted us when we entered. I guess you can bring your
pets to work with you in Iceland. We ate and began searching for our place we
had booked to stay. We found the
apartment we had rented for the night and met the host. She was very warm and
showed us around her home. She said she had a dinner party to go to with
friends and left us to fend for ourselves. We were so tired from not having
much sleep that we zonked out soon after arrival. We woke up at 4am in order to
get gas for our rental car and grab a bite to eat. We got gas and something
quick to eat. We returned the rental car at the airport and headed in to catch our
flight to London, We flew WOW air and had a great experience. Our seats
actually reclined this time so we could nap if needed…too be continued
