    Iceland!

    February 9 in Iceland ⋅ ☁️ 27 °F

    We flew direct to Reyjkavik this afternoon without issue. Elliot is off of school and we took boys out early. A little hiccup when our Airbnb was cancelled for day 2 because it is unreachable due to snow so a stressful start (we finally found a new one at 22:30). We got a 4 wheel drive car (steering wheel on the left side!) with metal studded tires and made the 5 minute drive to our first Airbnb. After settling in, Joce and I made the customary trip for groceries (just a few minutes walk away). We cooked in with pasta (as everyone has warned us, Iceland is expensive - groceries included). No hot water because of pipe issues from the active volcano right down the road (you can smell the sulfer in the air) so no showers but right to bed for our first day of exploring tomorrow. Sunrise not until 9:45 so will have to rely on our internal clocks to get up. It’s cold and snowy but not too bad so far - we will see how it goes tomorrow!Read more
