Further Greetings From Reykjavik

[NoMercy]

Sunrise was 03:36 but it never really got that dark.

Went to the Blue Lagoon yesterday - absolutely fantastic! Expensive though. I think entry was about £70 each (pre-booked in the UK) then two drinks, hire of two towels and lockers was a further £40.

Went to a restaurant called 73 last night, 2 drinks + 2 burgers = £65. That's reasonable by Reykjavik standards.

I would recommend this place as a once-in-a-lifetime destination, but do bring some spends with you.

We have a free day for exploring today and then it's the Golden Circle Tour tomorrow. Monday, it's Boston here we come.

Murdo, there's a bit of an obesity epidemic over here, thanks to the rise of affordable eating in the form of kebabs and towering burgers. However the Icelanders are a handsome nation on the whole.

Chris, I definitely fancy venturing down to the harbour for some fish and chips.

This whole 20 hours of daylight is mucking up my sleep pattern. :-(

[ummmm]

What's the price of alcohol like in the shops?

[NoMercy]

Ummmm, they don't sell it. There is no alcohol in supermarkets and not an off licence in sight. Very strange.

[gness]

NoM....if you don't get out of there soon we'll have to start crowdfunding your stay!

Enjoy the next leg and....congratulations.....Gx

[NoMercy]

Thanks, Gness xx

They sell alcohol in Boston. You'll be fine there.

[NoMercy]

Tilly, half a real ale is my limit but the OH isn't limited.

Thanks JNO. We encountered an exhorbitantly priced wine shop earlier.

[ummmm]

How far gone are you?.

[Tilly2]

I understand that you are limiting your alcohol intake, Nom. ;-)

Where's your doggie gone? Kennels?

[NoMercy]

Just over 5 weeks gone and Phoebe is in kennels in the countryside. I'm really missing her. :-(
