Reykjavik or bust!

That's sort of what it felt like yesterday.  Eight hours on the train, fed within an inch of our lives, then an hour and a half ride through London rush hour traffic with a driver who went fast whenever he could, even if only for a few feet.  This followed by a 1+ hour wait in the security line at Heathrow, a late flight that left late, and we got to our hotel room at 2 am. Whew!

We woke to clear, sunny, blue skies this morning...just beautiful.  Today we went on a three hour tour of Reykjavik, a three hour tour and the weather never started getting rough ;) It is an interesting city and a blend of old and new.  The modern building below is the new city conference center and performing arts complex.

These vehicles go off-road and onto the glaciers.  Tomorrow we go on the all day golden circle tour and will see Geysir, the namesake of geysers, as well as the Gullfoss waterfall.  Can't wait!  We are also signed up for northern light alerts.  If the northern lights appear, the front desk will call us and we'll come down to the lobby in our jammies to watch.
