Foss Hotel - Reykjavik, Iceland

 

One of the smaller craters in Iceland 

Today we had nothing planned except to return to Reykjavik, drop off the rental car, confirm the bus to the airport and have a farewell dinner at the Thai restaurant in Hlemmur.  Using Trip Advisor, I found three things to do that were “nice places to stretch your legs.”  The whole trip was only about 60 miles anyway.  All three things were in Bifröst: a crater to walk around, a small cafe and yet one more waterfall.  We have officially done all of the exciting things to do in Bifröst, although a round of golf on a course carved out of a lava field sounds pretty interesting, with balls careening off large boulders.

The car rental drop off is a mile or two away from the hotel, so after dropping the car off, we could wait 45 minutes for a shuttle or walk back which would take 45 minutes.  It turned out that most of the walk was through the park, so it was quite enjoyable.

Another piece of Iceland trivia,  the ICE-SAR (search and rescue squad) maintains a map with the location of Rescue Teams, Police, EMT’s and other units with different colored Lego mini-figs, also beer wasn’t legal until 1985 (they have a lot of catching up to do!)
