We checked Brad´s card in my camera and his pictures are fine! It doesn´t appear his camera survived, but a nice gentleman lent him his camera for his Iceland stay and we were able to contact Doug and we are bringing and extra camera for Brad to use, so all is well.

Today, was a glorious day weather wise. The sky was robins egg blue and the weather was really comfortable. Brad, Leslie and I took a Golden Circle superjeep tour where we saw waterfalls, geysirs, powerplants, glaciers, volcanos, all sorts of landscapes, flora and fauna. There are loads of gorgeous horses everywhere. All of a sudden a group of horses dashed out into the road and ran right towards our jeep head on then went thundering around us. I got a picture of it. It was amazing.

I am still having a hard time getting used to the continual daylight here. It is 10:30 and there is a sunset...the sun is still above the horizon. However, it doesn´t drop below long and stays light almost continually. I awoke twice last night thinking I had overslept because it was light.

Sitting here in the lounge, we can see the snow capped mountains and the sea and it is a pretty view. The Grand Hotel across the street has the same view.

We had lamb soup for lunch today and it was quite tasty and went to a seafood restaurant for dinner tonight. It´s quite a hike--even by cab--to town. It was about a $10 cab ride. The town is very cute and is very reminiscent of Norway villages. In fact, the entire area around Reykjavik is very Norwegian.

The landscape has few trees. The ones it has have been planted and are not very tall. Animals consist of loads of horses and some sheep, ducks,fox and swan. Minks were introduced here to farm and became loose and have become terrible pests to the farmers as they kill for fun.

Well, must get to bed, as I have another full day of sightseeing tomorrow. Brad and Leslie head off in a rental car to the far end of a peninsula and I am staying around and will meet up tomorrow night with the LCTers who arrive in the next wave tomorrow. Doug will arrive on the 20th.
