July 6 – Reykjavik, Iceland to CALGARY

Weather – 8º when we left Reykavik at 6:30AM and 23º when we arrived home

Steps – 7,560

Ahhhh, travel day. Not my favourite day in the world but I don't think I can stay on vacation for ever. The ride to the airport from downtown Reykjavik was about 45min and $220CAD!!!!!!! We knew this would be the price, it is a flat rate to the airport, so weren’t surprised and knew we weren’t getting screwed like so many cab drivers the world over like to do. We actually were screwed, but it was just upfront.

The fun didn’t stop there – the Westjet “system” at the airport was ‘down’. GOOD GRIEF!!! We were in the ‘priority’ line, so didn’t wait as long as those who weren’t in that line, but – sheesh! One woman in the other line was quite irate and voiced her displeasure to the airport staff, who basically told her to get stuffed and take it up with Westjet.

The flight was fine and that was that!

Thanks to everyone who came along on this Artic journey with us! Until next time…ALASKA and JAPAN (I guess Chris has grown to appreciate the cold – nope)
