The ice cave at Perlan, at -10 degrees it was that cold my glasses streamed up when I came out

To this in the space of 30 mins, I know which I preferred

If we had this in a UK town centre, every Fri and Sat night you'd need an ambulance on stand by

Very busy end of the pub for tonight's Arsenal game

Final Drive

August 31, 2022 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

This morning had to drop the car off in Reykjavik for 10:00, so had a whistle stop tour of Geysir on the way, you can't come to Iceland and not see Strokkur blowing it's top.

For the first time in 11 days I encountered heavy traffic entering Reykjavik, well first time I've seen any traffic at all really in the whole of Iceland. It was raining hard most of the day so spent a fair chunk of it at the Perlan museum. Which showcased everything Iceland, from volcanos, to glaciers, to an ice cave, to waterfalls, to the northern lights. It was really interactive and very well put together.

The evening was off to a sports bar to watch Arsenal v Aston Villa. The pub must have had at least 40 local Arsenal fans watching the game, was like watching in a north London pub, great atmosphere and obviously winning 2-1 helped.

Weather: 13 degrees, heavy rain
