Kicking back in Keflavik

We made it to the airport near Keflavik by 2pm in the afternoon and then needed to catch a 7-minute taxi ride, 4.7 kilometres away from the airport. Our hotel told us it would be about AU$35, give or take AU$5. Well, it was already AU$16 before we got in the car and the speed in which it was racing Usain Bolt probably couldn’t keep up. It was AU$30 before we got out of the airport grounds. AU$55 later and we were at our destination.

The seaside town didn’t seem to offer a great deal as we walked through the main street. It seemed like a sleepy sea-side town, the home to a little over 15,000 people. We picked up some provisions from the local Lidl and went back to our hotel to get a little bit of shut-eye before we needed to get up at the crack of sparrows.
