Aand back.

Wow so definetly didnt keep up with my promis of writing everynight on this blog. I started of my stay in Iceland by getting sick, and not just some cold or sniffles but the flu with chills, fever, bone aches and a throat so swollen I lost my voice for three days. Feeling like that I wasn´t up for much writing or sightseeing. But I hope to make up for that in the next few entries. I will dedicate each one to a place I managed to drag my carcass to and take pictures and include some of those visual aids as well.
So far I have gone into the new symphony house Harpan (I was corrected that technically it wasn´t an opera house as I thought), I went into Hallgrims Kirkja (which was cool to do but just a bit underwhleming lol), went to my old hometown of Hveragerdi which is totally changed (it has trees know 0_0) and then yesterday, my first day of feeling pretty darn good, I spent wandering around Reykjavik taking pictures and buying EXPENSIVE souvenirs.
But right now...copious amounts of caffinated tea is needed.

Arrived smiling and coughing


My apologies for the late posting. The time change has me completely confused and my brain is not very happy with going to bed when OBVIOUSLY it is bright and wonderful outside, and 4 am is a great time to go for a walk. Yes, I said 4 am. It is awesome. Wish it was like this in California. But only the summer part where it is bright all the time, the winters are pretty much the complete opposite.
Anyway, so far I have got myself a sore throat and a stuffy nose and a huge bag of candy. That monster of a bag weighed over 800grams. Full of licorice hard candies and other goodies I haven't had in years. I was bad and got some candy I am sure I shouldn't be eating as a gluten free dudette buuut since this could possibly be the last time I can have them and I haven't had any of these for over 20 years I told mah belly to suck it up. So far so good tho, don't think there was any gluten if the stuff I have eaten so far :D

As I have been sleeping and forgetting to bring my camera when I do go outside (I need to graft that thing to my arm I think), there is not much in the way of pictures except for the following:




Fields of lava rock overgrown by moss, on the ride from Keflavik to Reykjavik.















4am outside my window the first day here.
