Bye bye Snaefellsnes, hello Reykjavik

Saturday. We leave Snaefellsnes and head back towards Reykjavik. Today's the day we have to return the car (we have to be back by 5.00pm) so we basically hoof it (after making a snow man and having a bit of a snow fight! hehehe) . One of the locals lent us his sunglasses (although in this pic the ones we used were mine)

The drive was pretty good, again some very beautiful scenery - and the weather was fine so we thought we would detour via Reykholt, a quaint little town. There was heaps of snow there, so I couldn't resist making snow angels!

The day was getting on a bit, time was getting away, so we didn't spend too long there (although it was a very beautiful town) and make our way back to Reykjavik. We get back to the car hire place at 4.30pm - but there's no-one there. So, we head back to Floki with the intention of phoning the after hours number (as for some reason its not working on my phone).

When we get to Floki we discover that they are overbooked and have booked us (for the same price) into the 3 star hotel Baron Hotel. Woo hoo!

The Baron chick phones up the car hire people - they want to charge us an extra 1500 IKR (AUD $40) for them to come to Baron tomorrow to pick it up - I don't think so! If you advertise opening hours until 5pm and decide to go home early, tough luck matey! So we managed to get that waived.

The rest of the evening was uneventful (except for the rubber band Agnieszka found around her asparagus at the same restaurant I suffered the glass in my food) until about midnight - we looked out the windows of the hotel and saw this:

I could never get tired of looking at that!
