Arrival in Iceland

Brian and Clare left Denver on an IcelandAir 757 late afternoon Thursday, arriving in Keflavik at dawn. EU immigration was easy at that early hour. Briefly talked with an agent and had our pictures taken and fingerprints recorded.

Iceland is apparently known for its many gins, as seen on the menu. Brian tried the Lundey puffin-style blue gin, which turns pink when tonic is added! Perhaps the colors are from the clitoria flower?

After getting a few hours of sleep, the sunrise woke us up just prior to the announcement that we would be landing in 30 minutes.

After croissants at the airport, we hired a taxi to get us to our hotel in Keflavik. We had to pay extra for early check-in, but it was good to relax and shower!
