After stopping by a bookstore, Icelandic design store I realize this trips souveigners will be memories/moments and not things. Everything is ridiculously expensive. The t-shirts are almost $30! Although funny not worth it.
I check into my hotel finally and relax, unpack, and organize things for my upcoming day trips. I didn't realize how dehydrated I had become between the flight and the lagoon. I drank about 8 glasses of water in the two hours before dinner. (And peed almost as many times.)
I decided to eat at the restaurant downstairs. After I had made my reservations I found out its French - goes with the theme of my trip. I was the first one and after ordering the lamb I was joined by a retired couple from Canterbury.
We had a pleasant conversation throughout dinner. The lamb was cooked perfectly and I loved the balance of the dish. It was just the right amount of food and I soaked up the juices withe remaining bread.
The couple had been chasing the northern lights for awhile. Last being Norway and no luck. This was their last try. Unfortunately no northern lights for tonight. All the excursions are cancelled. I took a covert picture of them at one point:
The wife and I bonded over the GreatBritish Bake Off - I've been watching it on PBS and surprisingly love it. The husband was a civil engineer and perked up when he found out about our commonality.
I retired to bed at 8 pm and slept almost nonstop until my alarm woke me up at 7 am! As I was getting ready for bed I was amazes how soft my skin was all over. My face and hands had been dry all day but I think that was the weather/wind. The rest of me is usually ultra dry this time of year. I can't remember the last time my skin felt so good - amazing lagoon waters.
