Hello Reykjavik!

I'm attempting to blog on my phone! Below is the view from our Viking ship room:

We departed July 22 at 8:30 pm from RDU, non-stop to Reykjavik, Iceland, six hours, arrived 6:30 am Iceland time (2:30 am our time) the next day. Caught Fly-Bus to our ship, amazingly easy and cheap. 

Did I sleep well that night? Oh yes, thanks to soft eye cover that blocked out the midnight sun.

Next day in Reykjavik: horseback riding, my own excursion (not Viking's which was full). Long story to be filled in later.

Special note: Islandic horses are a separate breed, shorter, wider, and shaggier. I discovered my hips are not as flexible as they used to be!

I made it back to the cruise ship with about 45 minutes to spare!

Ship departed 6 pm. I slept 10 hours thanks to eye cover, Tylenol, and Dramamine for the 7-foot waves.
