Good-bye Iceland
This morning was fantatically beautiful. Sunny, not so cold. A perfect send off for our Iceland trip. Sharon and I went on a shopping spree of sorts... souvenirs, etc. I got a great pumpkin colored thermal jacket (hmph.... I should have bought it at the BEGINNING of the trip!), christmas tree ornaments (Matt and I try to collect them wherever we go...), and a few other knick-knacks.
As we had even more time to kill after checking out of our hotel (*ahem* we had concerns as to whether or not our car would start and drive today. Long story... but lets just say off-roading in Iceland in a H.onda J.azz the day before was not the best of choices. A bit of a rattle in the right front...). Once we knew the car was functional... we drove up to Hallgrimskirkja, the main church in Reykjavik.
The interior is beautifully simple. While there, we scraped together our last Krona to take the elevator up for what is touted to be "the best view of Reykjavik". I'd say it lived up to the reviews!
Colorful city, no?
We reluctantly headed out of town and towards Keflavik International Airport. After a quick stop for lunch, it was Good-Bye Iceland time. We did, though, take a minute to record for posterity a picture of Matt's two "favorite things" about Iceland. No, not waterfalls, glaciers, boiling mud pits. FOOD, yes, food. On the left is a sparkly pear water drink-- I've gotta admit-- it is good! On the right is an EMPTY bag of cinnamon rolls. I cannot count how many of these we went through this trip. So here they are... Matt's favorite things about Iceland...
So there you have it... a chronicle of our adventure in Iceland. Ummmm yep, that's about it!
