Day 1
- Flight at 12:45 at gate 26. We bought an excess of booze and because I forgot my books I bought Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at WHSmith. We had lots of space on plane because we were next to the emergency exit so legroom but no chair table but we did have lap tables that came out of the arms of our seats.
- We landed in Keflavik (South-West of Iceland) [see map marker for location] and met up with my French family members. We proceeded to take the bus from the airport to the car hire where we drove to Hafnarfjordur to meet the lady who was renting the house. We then drove through the outskirts of Reykjavik to get to Selfoss where the house was.
- The keys were not under the front door mat. Panic strikes as the fear of a con settles in and the seller isn’t answering her phone. We search every exterior possibility for about 20 mins until the lady calls back and ends up sending the owner to the house who had forgotten to set the key up.
- I cook pasta. Dad does cocktail. Life is good. Bed after a cup of tea and discussions of the oplan for tomorrow The shower is great: high pressure, good temperature control and lots of space for flailing when one gets shampoo in one’s eyes. My bed is squishy and and welcoming after a day of traveling. I've come to the realisation that all anyone cares about is how nice the bed and shower is. So there you go.
