Day 1 – Landed in Reykjavik

Landed in Reykjavik at 6am. The cold surprised me. Took the FlyBus that dropped me off right in front of Reykjavik City Campground. The facilities here are really nice, definitely the most luxurious camping I have done. Its also conveniently attached to the Reykjavik City Hostel, which offers for indoor comforts when you want it (+ internet!)

Walked around a bunch, into the “downtown”. Things are expensive, the city has a european nordic feel to it.

Ate some icelandic fish stew for lunch as well as the famous Icelandic HotDog.

I found a volcanic rock, that I thought was cool until I saw many more everywhere. Not as special as I thought I guess. After exploring the city and the Old Harbour, I walked back, took a nap, and went back out at night for the nightlife. Meh, its nice but nothing special after Montreal.

What I found more interesting is that it never really got dark. It goes directly from twilight to dawn. The birds were chirping as I walked back to my tent at 2am. Surreal.

Also, the women look like supermodels and the men are huge.
