Day 2 Keflavík and Reykjavik

Other then the delay out of Orlando the fights to Iceland and security and customs (they actually stamped our passports) were uneventful.  The delay just cut off some of the wait in Boston and the airline changed our plane so we ended up in the extended leg room section for free.
We landed had our luggage and we out of the rental area before 7am in Iceland.  However, with us there is always a car issue.  The check tire light is on, on the rental they told us it is fine.  It was excessively foggy when we were first driving around.  Hungry, tired, and lost we finally found our we to the hostel.  At 9:30 they were nice enough to let us check in and take a 2 hour nap.

The car might be smaller then the seating area on the airplane to Iceland.  Luckily most of it can stay at the hotel.
 After we got up at noon, we found a great pizza place and went grocery shopping.

 View out our hostel window-it rings however every 15 minutes until 9pm.
 our hostel-it is brand new so really clean and nice
 Don't bring your tractor to Reykjavik during these times:
 It is all volcanic rock-you can see why there are so many stories of trolls and faeries
 Walked around Blue lagoon, but did not soak.  Ok, I geocached, working on an earthcache here.
