Sadly we will leave Iceland tomorrow. So today was set aside to move from the Hotel Rangá to an airport hotel. We did not want to take the chance of being too far from the airport with an early flight tomorrow morning. So, we had to say goodbye to our new friends from London, Nick and Eleanor. We packed up our Iceland clothes and had them sent back to the U.S., scraped the ice off of our car and headed back to the Keflavik Airport.
Usually we do not appreciate rainy days when we are on vacation but today it was a blessed rainy day! The roads were the clearest we have experienced in Iceland and it made our two hour drive almost pleasant.
We were a little surprised how fast the government has taken poor little Grindavik off the grid. This is the town that the latest volcano has swallowed up with its lava and earthquake activity that has destroyed roads to and from the town. They just scratched off the town!
We enjoyed going through a couple towns. The churches are oftentimes quite interesting structures.
With only a stop at a charging station to top off the car before returning it to Hertz we arrived at the airport in the late afternoon.
We did not do all of the things in Iceland that we had hoped to, but we did have a wonderful time, and we did see the Northern Lights! This was a good visit and we hope to return, though next time we will target a month with a little more dependable weather.
