Day2 {Iceland}




      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
