    Reykjavik Day 2

    May 22, 2019 in Iceland ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Smooth flight 5.5 hrs Toronto to Rekyjavik..via Icelandic Air. We were met by our Viking Rep and transported to our hotel the Grand Hotel Rekyjavik..lovely.
    We have read about no trees and volcanic landscape but were very surprised to see the entire landscape of volcanic rock and moss. It is a beautiful day clear skies and sun already bright at 6am. We arrived at the hotel and were invited to enjoy the hotel breakfast buffet as rooms were not ready until after noon. The buffet was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by all. We were able to catch up with Lucie et Jean our travel companions. We met on a previous cruise and found they share our love of travel and our desire to gain a broader perspective of life through travel.
    Iceland has a population of 350 000 and hosts over 2 million tourists a year. Our first impressions are it is so friendly, very clean and has unlimited potential being developed by tons of young people.
