Arrival in Iceland and the adventure begins

This morning at 0530 hrs I landed in Reykjavik, Iceland. I had no idea I was coming to such a remote part of the world. Most of the land is very barren and the towns and the few cities are far and few between. The geothermal activity is abundant, even down to the water spelling like eggs in the bathroom.

The guest house we are staying in, Guesthouse Galtafell is amazing and the host and hostess are taking very good care of us. We started the day off with a great breakfast, then explored the city before hiring a super jeep for a four-hour private tour of the surrounding area. We got tons of information (like about the 25% tax on everything here) to the division of the tectonic plates and how it affects Icelanders. We got to see some thermal hot springs and boiling mud, which was high on my list of things to do.

Icelanders so far have been lovely people who are very proud of their land and their heritage. They are proud to educate people on what is going on here, and invite them to experience all it has to offer.

Tonight, The Spocker and I are going out to enjoy the Reykjavik night life and show them how Canadians to it.

The pictures say it all.

Stubs.
