Up at 6:30ish showered, packed and breakfasted by 8:00 and on the road soon after. It was a grey rainy day all the way down the west coast from Snaefellnaes to Reykjavik. Parked in Reykjavik and had a walk round town. Passed the Salvation Army hostel and several other interesting buildings.
It's a small island, we saw several people in Reykjavik that we had seen in other places on our travels and realised that you can drive from the north to south in about 3 and a half ours. We stopped in a massive N1 service area on the way, it was too close to the urban centre of Reykjavik to have anything interesting in the shop, but it had a huge selection of food, cakes and drinks. I will miss the N1 service stations.
Missed the fuel stop on the way to the airport and had to have a run round Keflavik to find a petrol station so we could return the hire car full. As is always the case, the GPS bateries ran out just when we needed it most. We had plenty of time though and am now sat waiting at the airport wishing the wifi was free. Instead I will type this now and post it when we get home.
The staff at Keflavik international have scooters for getting up and down the corridors. Now I don't mean small motorbikes, I mean scooters that you stand on and scoot. I have even seen a couple with luggage racks at the front. I suppose it's green and keeps the staff fit.
