My flight from Boston to Reykjavik was a smooth and happy one. I didn't get much sleep on the flight but I did doze off for a hot second I believe. It was only 5 hours long and before I knew it I was already at Keflavik Airport ! The airport itself was immaculate, kinda pristine actually, and very easy to navigate. The Flybus drove me and a band of others from the airport to Reykjavik center where I had to switch to another bus to drive me to my hotel which I reserved only 8 hours prior. So I get to my hotel, very tired and hardly able to keep my eyes open, I just wanted to fall asleep so bad. The receptionist wasn't able to find my reservation, I guess because I arrived too early so she referred me to another hotel, The Grand Hotel Reykjavik which is supposedly the largest hotel in Reykjavik. Well let me tell you, for $104.00 this room is DA BOMB ! I had not expected it to be luxury living, the mini bar is totally full, two beds instead of one, and the bathroom is amazingly beautiful. I LUCKED OUT ! I may even stay another night.
I drew the heavy curtains until it was pitch black in my room and fell soundly asleep for 5 hours until 2pm. I showered, left the hotel and now I'm exploring the city centre of Reykjavik. The landscape surrounding me is enchanting, the locals are so beautiful, almost flawless, and I am speaking of the ladies here..not so much the men. Right now I'm sitting in an internet cafe enjoying a beer, I'm still on my first one because it's so effin' strong, wow I'm so buzzed and I'm only halfway through it :-)
I have more exploring to do, and I don't quite understand or have a grasp on the Icelandic currency here, I'm still trying to get a handle on it. Otherwise, I don't think I come off as a tourist to anyone, I'm keeping it low key...
My laptop battery is about to die and I need to get out and explore some more, take more photos and speak to the locals. Icelandic language is beautiful and a bit difficult to understand. I mean, I can speak and understand Norwegian fairly well and there are just some minute similarities but it'll take some time getting used to.
Anyway, off I go !
