Day 7 Leaving Iceland

I got most everything packed yesterday, but we needed to check the weight again.  We did a little moving around and got all three bags under 23 kilograms.  We are probably up to 60 pounds of beer now.

We cleaned up everything at the apartment and left for the airport.  On the way we stopped for gas and I took a couple of photos of our dirty car.  It is a little bit cleaner than it was at one point.  Might have been the trip through the river.  Did I  say that?  We didn’t drive through any water with the rental car.

 

We then went to turn in our car at Sixt.  They were the really busy again but could be because they are the cheapest place to rent a car.  So if you want a cheap rental be prepared to wait a couple hours. Our car was the dirtiest one that was turned in. I guess the people didn’t have as much fun as us.

Now time to catch the shuttle to the airport.  There was some interesting art outside the airport.

When we went to check in I told them that we had paid for a bag in London and they told us that it was paid all the way through.  She wanted to see my receipt which luckily I had on my email.  Glad I don’t get rid of that stuff until the trip is all over.  We loaded our luggage on the weighing belt and we had 1.4 kilos to spare.  Yeah! We passed the weight allowed.

Then off through security where I managed to set the bells off as normal.  After getting patted down and having the wand run over my body, to bad it wasn’t a guy doing the patting down, I was let through.

We picked up some licorice in the duty free.  I was going to get some whiskey made in Iceland and smoked in sheep dung but thought $89 was a little much.

We found a place to sit and had a sandwich I had packed.  Now we are waiting to see what gate we go to.  Then we will be off to Anchorage and our own bed for the night.
