Day 1

This is the first post from Iceland where we are spending the May/June school holiday.

Day 1
We flew from Manchester to Reykjavik via Glasgow on Icelandair. The flight was good apart from the landing in Iceland which was very bumpy. We had hired a car and were given a Suzuki Swift 4x4 which is very nice but very underpowered on the hills. The drive from the airport to the Hotel Orc (very Lord of the Rings) at Hverageroi, I don't know how to pronounce it but it is very nice being on a flat piece of land with a very hilly, thermal, backdrop. We went to the local pizza palour and had a nice pizza and watched the Eurovision song contest where the Icelandic entry was greated with raptourous applause and then it came nearly last. So Sad!!
The locals seem friendly but we will see.
Tomorrow we will explore the local area.
