Airport Market
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
We got our food from this small market inside the airport. Only people who are still traveling are allowed to shop here, which I found strange. To make sure, you even have to scan your boarding passLes mer
Great Prices!
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
One thing that really surprised me about this little market was that the prices were very reasonable and in line with the average delicatessen or 7-11. Food prices at airports are usually astronomicalLes mer
Trolls!
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
I knew that Iceland had a lot of stories and legends about trolls but I never expected to see one of them at the airport! I’d love to find out more about these mythical creatures.
Bathroom Break
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
Before leaving, I made a trip to the restroom and was very impressed by how they are set up in Iceland. Each stall is like this, set up like a very roomy and comfortable private bathroom. I’m veryLes mer
Time to Go
5. november 2023, Island
We’re ready to continue our journey on to London but it was great to get a small taste of Iceland. I’m already looking forward to coming back here again!
Boarding
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
We’re boarding the plane now but, as always, there seems to a some sort of delay getting from the jetway onto the plane itself. What is the problem? If everyone has got on in an orderly manner,Les mer
A Window Seat
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
I’ve got a window seat for the last leg of our flight. I’m happy that I’m able to look out the window and take pictures but the aisle seat is also great because it allows me to get up and walkLes mer
Found Our Seats
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
We were among the first group of people to board the plane. I guess, for this flight, it doesn’t really matter since we don’t have any carryon baggage to put in the overhead bin. I do like notLes mer
Ready to Go
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
Groot’s ready to leave Iceland, for now, and fly on to London. Groot is always traveling with us now. He can be a lot of fun and he’s always a great source of good photos. He’s my favorite, andLes mer
Lights Out!
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
The lights just went off so I’m guessing that’s our signal that it’s time for us to take off. I’m hoping to sleep for a bit before we land in London. Despite being very tired, I doubt it’llLes mer
Take Off!
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
And just like that, we’re up in the air again and flying off towards London. Bye for now, Iceland! We’ll be back to see you soon!
Bye, Reykjavik!
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
This is exactly why I love to sit in the window seat while flying. The aisle is more convenient but views like this are unforgettable. Compared to other cities we’ve flown over, Reykjavik looks veryLes mer
Comes the Dawn
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
Although it’s a bit past 8:30, it’s still very dark in Iceland. It’s interesting to see that that they have a daily cycle that’s so different from what we’re used to. I’m so eager toLes mer
Sunrise
5. november 2023, Island ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
How often do you get to watch a sunrise while so high up in the sky? It’s such a rare opportunity but, as I look around the plane, almost nobody is appreciative of this spectacular view. EveryoneLes mer
Getting Close
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F
I was relaxing, but not sleeping, for a while now and I’m seeing that it’s nearly time for us to land at Heathrow Airport. I’m tired but excited! I’m looking forward to being back on the ground.
Nearly There
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F
We’re very close to London now and I’m getting eager to land. I’ve already bundled up all my stuff so I’m all ready to go!
First Look
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
This is my first look at London. From up here, it looks, pretty much, like every other big city. I’m just really happy that I got a window seat this time so I can enjoy views like this.
We’ve Landed
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We just landed at Heathrow Airport and we’re now headed to whatever gate we’ve been assigned. The weather looks great! I’m excited to be back in England. It’s been a long time…
The Big Rush
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
This is the worst part of a flight, in my opinion. As soon as we get to the gate, everyone is in such a rush to get up and then just stand there, crowding the aisle, until the gate is opened. ThisLes mer
Luggage Handling
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
While waiting to get off the plane, I’m watching the baggage handlers take care of the luggage. They are fast and efficient but not very gentle with the passengers bags. I haven’t seen ours comeLes mer
Long Lines
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’re off the plane, inside Heathrow Airport, and now waiting on the passport control line. I feel like nearly everything about traveling involves waiting on long lines. It’s frustrating butLes mer
Moving Quickly
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’re moving through this line faster than I thought we would. I usually dread these lines but this time it’s not so bad. I hope it’s this easy when we get back to Iceland.
Where’s Our Bags?
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’re out of the immigration area and ready to pick up our bags. I’m disappointed that we didn’t have our passports stamped, since I like collecting them, but everything is automated here now.Les mer
Big Empty
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’ve got our bags, but where is everyone else? I had thought that an airport as big and as busy as Heathrow would be packed with people but I guess not. I’m happy not to deal with the crowds though.
Now What?
5. november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F
We have all our bags and we’re ready to leave but first we need to figure out the best way to get to our hotel. There are so many options! We’re leaning towards using the underground but gettingLes mer
