Landed in Iceland! Now on the bus into Reykjavik. So pleasant, calm, and easy.

Toot

A few, final, random observations:

• Although I’ve spent plenty, I have not seen any Icelandic Krona. When I arrived, I asked the front desk at the hotel where I could change some money. And she said, “You don’t need it. Only tourists pay with cash.” Indeed true.

• I haven’t felt the need to wash my hair. Probably thanks to weather. It’s cold and windy enough that I haven’t gotten sweaty, and it’s humid enough that my ringlets have stayed intact.

• I like salted licorice ice cream more than I thought I would. I thought the “rye bread” ice cream would be my thing, but it just tasted like … ice cream.

@alysonsee Iceland is great! How long do you have? If you can get beyond Reykjavik, you’ll thank yourself.

Have you tried the fermented shark? It’s horrible.

We dutifully changed money at the airport and then had trouble spending it all. Everything uses credit cards.

@c_dan4th Leaving in the morning. So just in Reykjavik. When I made the plan, my intended destination was Glasgow (for a work thing). The best flights were on IcelandAir, and they let you stay up to two nights and still count it as a layover. It worked out perfectly, and I’ll be adjusted to the time change in time for work tomorrow.

@alysonsee Smart thinking. Also Iceland in January is probably not as appealing as it was last summer.

@c_dan4th Also, no fermented shark. Not even tempted.

@alysonsee It was pretty horrible, but I’m glad I tried very small bit.
