In Iceland ahead of schedule

So my bear bud tells me we’re in Keflavík, Iceland. I thought we were supposed to be in London.

It seems like we missed our flight. And the one after that. So we’re stuck here in Iceland. For the rest of the day.  And night.

Well nothing better to do than kick back in this tiny town and enjoy an Icelandic specialty drink, “Erlu”.  I don’t know.  It looks like coke to me.

Well since we’re stuck here all day let’s see what else is in this town.  Looks like they have a big anchor.

Locals tell us to visit the troll cave down this way.

Keflavík-5

Oh there’s the troll.

Keflavík-6 Keflavík-7

These appear to be pacifiers hanging on a tree.  Is this an offering to the troll?  Or is this some kind of “kids-I’ve-eaten” count?

Keflavík-8

I’m speechless.  That was somewhat disturbing.

I think it’s time to walk back to our hotel and try to forget what I just saw here.

We’re travelling again

Except we’re not.  Nick tells me we’re going on an epic trip.  Then I woke up on the plane to hear about some sort of mechanical failure of the engine.

I decided that sort of inconvenience was something I wanted no part of.  So I got back in the bag and passed out.

Next thing I know we’re sitting at an airport in Iceland watching bags go around and around and around on the conveyer belt.  I thought we were going to London.

It’s been an hour.  I’ve given names to the luggage –I’ve seen them go around so much.  There’s one!  Hello luggage buddy.  That’s purple tag.  Next comes green checkers.

And there’s my bear bud.

He looks about as thrilled as I feel.
