Airport Market
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 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 passRead more

November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 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 astronomicalRead more

Trolls!
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 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
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 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 veryRead more

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 walkRead more

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 notRead more

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 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.
