Keflavik, Kennitala, Roundabouts, & IKEA

We landed at about 7:50 a.m. at Keflavik International Airport. Customs was super easy, and so was getting the rental car. Everyone was extremely nice, and we were very impressed with their English. After checking the car over, I had my first international driving experience. McKelvie says I did great. It really wasn't so bad since nobody ever drives more than 80 km/h. Cars are tiny, though, so they zip in and out of lanes a lot, and once you get into Reykjavik, there is a roundabout every mile or two with three to four exits off of it. We found an IKEA about 15 miles away. We got a lot of basic housewares for the apartment, and they will deliver the bed and love seat tomorrow afternoon. Before then, we've got to get an esim card for Kelv's phone, and we're going to explore the University.

We managed to find room in the car for her twin mattress, so we're going to cuddle up on that for the next 15 hours or so because we are exhausted.

PS. She has an amazing shower in her apartment. The water gets very hot, and the pressure is awesome, but Icelandic water tastes and smells a bit...fishy. That will take some getting used to. 😝Read more
