6TH JULY - LONDON-REYKJAVIK

WHAT WE DID:

We flew from London Stansted to Keflavik airport in 2:30 hours. From the airpot we took the flybus (1.150 ISK each) to Reykjavik which took about 40 minutes. From the bus terminal we walked to the guesthouse. We then went to do some shopping to get some more food for the trek.

COMMENT:

The view from the airplane was quite good, in particular you could see quite well a tongue of Vatnajokull. Also, we saw that the Laugavegur area was completely covered with clouds. Already from the flybus you can see that this is a special place, with unusual colours. Also, trees are somewhat of a rarity here. At night it never got dark.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

The airport is quite small. Had to move our watches back by 1 hour.

Weight of rucksacks at check-in: (we also had hand luggage though)

Samir 9.2 Kg, Aztek 14 Kg, Gip 11 Kg, Fraggy 10 Kg.

Walk from bus terminal to guesthouse was about 1.6 km
