Well,finally I am getting over all the excitment and tiredness from the trips, now start to write my blog. First I will write about my Iceland trip,though it is not a very long trip (4 and half days),it was a good one.
on the 30th,June, we arrived in Reykjavik airport,because Iceland is not an EU country,there was a little problem with me and my passport. But things turned out to be fine,so we got the rented car and heading first to the hotel we booked earlier. Weather was not very good for summer, just rained and little bit cold (10 degrees,while when we left Finland it was about 27 degrees). Well, the way to hotel is not very diffcult,just one long highway,cars were driving all very fast even it was still raining. Along the coast,we could see rocks,grass,but no trees...
Arrived at the hotel, it was a nice little guest house,well....nothing can be for sure, the hotel owner said she had already canceled our reservation while we did not recieve any notification. The problem is during that weekend there was some kinda conference in Reykjavik,so hotels might be full. But the owner was kind,she recommended us to another newly build hotel,because it was new it might still have room for us.
Luckily settled down in the new hotel,well it was not bad ( have to say much better than I expected). Drove our rented Toyota to the city. It was not a very big city and seems everywhere have the smell of fish,since the major industry here is fishing. Walking around a little bit,it was raining again. We found an American style restaurant in the city since other restaurants had no space. Well, the food was ok and this place seems more for local people to meet friends or family going out together.
First day in this lonely island, it started with some problems but in the end turned out to be fine. We had to sleep earlier since the next day we have planed lots of things to do... [ to be continued]
