First Day in Iceland

After taking the 'Flybus' from Keflavik to Reykjavik, it was about 9:30 AM. And dark.

My hotel room was not ready, but I was nicely offered a go at the breakfast buffet. Nothing beets a good breakfast (yes, there they are in the upper left)

Breakfast was actually quite good. I had skyr with my corn flakes (or whatever twenty-letter name there is for corn flakes in Icelandic). Skyr is a cross between milk and yogurt, and way better than either.

After breakfast it was light outside, and a perfectly pleasant 42 degrees. I walked down to the harbor.




Clean air, clean water, mountains...I was falling in love.

  1. Any thickish mild product such as "skyr" leaves me a bit dubious. I would be very reluctant to try such a thing.

  2. Skyr was easy. Other local specialties such as puffin or whale would have been significantly more challenging!
