“Thai” dinner

Posted on August 21, 2014 by sumi

To make up for the inconvenience of missing our flights and landing us in a completely different country than we were supposed to be at, Iceland Air graciously arranged dinner for us at a Thai restaurant. I didn’t care for it but my bear bud and Pokin were hungry and they went.

They gave us a voucher. It looked like this.

And our “thai” food looked like this.

Nick poked at it and we decided we’d be better off going for a walk instead. At least we found a lighthouse.

This “GIANT” 10 footer of a lighthouse probably wasn’t the best representative of Viking engineering prowess. But it’s what we’ve got. Wait do I even care about lighthouses? Or Vikings?

Icelandic for hospitality

So we’ve missed our flight and we’re stuck in Iceland overnight. At least Iceland Air arranged for us to stay in a hotel.

And then we drove up to this.

Thankfully this is the back side. I was a little worried about how this trip is going.

Nicholas, why are we even here? We should be gaming.

Oh right, you dismantled our computer.

See this was payback. Let’s just turn around while we’re ahead.

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.

And an American hamburger in an American diner.

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.

Oh there’s the troll.

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?

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.
