Hello all! Today was the fourth day of driving and our last full day in Reykjavik. All in all we did not have much driving to do today, so we woke up and decided to go play 9 holes of golf. We went to a little golf course in the town where we stayed that was mixed in with a handful of hot springs and bubbling gysers. The course was pretty and since it was in a mountain valley it had a lot of blind hills and turns, which made it interesting. The weather was also outstanding (it actually almost got warm)... Until the ninth hole when it started to rain hard. Luckily we were able to wrap up the hole and get to shelter before it got too bad. All in all it was a successful and fun outing and took up our whole morning. I should also clarify, when I say "we played golf" what I really mean is Ben played golf and I walked around hitting a bunch of balls that went wherever they pleased.
After finishing up with the golfing around noon, we loaded up into our little Jimny and made our way back to Reykjavik. We got into Reykjavik shortly thereafter and after dropping off the camping equipment we decided to walk around town again. Our first stop was to go and get a couple hot dogs. After wolfing them down we went to a little coffee shop to get out of the rain that had started to fall. Eventually the rain stopped so we just walked around town looking at little shops and stuff and laughing at how so much of the stuff for sale in Reykjavik as touristic things were just "designed" or "origins" in Iceland. It was hard to find something actually "made" in Iceland.
After spending a few hours doing this, we loaded up into our Jimny again and headed to our Airbnb just outside of Reykjavik. It is so nice to be in a house again with a real roof and a real bed... And best of all a shower. For the rest of the night we are just cleaning up, packing, and get ready to fly back home tomorrow. Anyway that is all I have for today, it was a nice relaxing final day in Reykjavik. All the best and until next time.
