Our Uber driver Herby dropped us off at the Newark Delta Departure Terminal at about 5:30 AM.  The long ride made us stiff, and it was hard to get moving again.  We had already done a lot of walking this … Read Full Post

We knew we needed to wait until the JFK flight arrived a little after 9:00 AM to get our luggage from baggage claim, or “reclaim” as they call it in Iceland.  We had about 90 minutes to wait so we … Read Full Post

We really enjoyed our night at the Mosskogar Campground.  It was perfect for the first night, and although we thought we did not want to be next to the bathroom building, it was actually better, we could see when it … Read Full Post

It was rainy when I got up this morning and headed to the bathhouse to visit the restroom at about 8:00 AM.  It was barely raining now, but it had obviously rai ned harder earlier in the morning.  Of course, … Read Full Post

We slept pretty well last night, we are getting more used to the bed and especially to the smaller size of the bed.  We (well me) are not big fans of the bedding we have, the duvets are thick, but … Read Full Post

For the first time, we had a sunny morning when we woke up.  I was up at about 6:30 AM, mother nature was calling so that meant a trip to the bathhouse, about 75 feet from our campsite.  It was … Read Full Post

After having had such a beautiful and sunny day yesterday, this morning we awoke to cloudy skies and a light drizzle.  I am not sure that we can get two days of sunshine in Iceland at this time of the … Read Full Post
