iceland at last

At 6:15am yesterday morning the Icelandair grounds crew secured our plane at the gate at Keflavik airport, Iceland.

I had returned to Iceland! At last.

Flying overnight, the northern lights made an appearance – across the aisle. From my seat this is what I saw.

Dawn brought views of Greenland.

After deplaning, a quick wheelchair ride to Customs, luggage grab off the baggage carousel, car rental, and we were off!

The 2-hour drive from the Keflavik airport to Búðir took us 8 hours. A combination of constant photo-op views and a roadside nap, was in keeping with our style of travel.

Every direction held views. Almost more than I could hold in my soul.

We arrived at our destination for the night, Hotel Búðir. Our plan for three nights was thwarted by the flight cancellation. Still, one night in this space and place, was enough. For now.
