We could not go down to the breakfast buffet so they called to get our order. I ordered food for the two of us.. However, when it arrived there was that amount on each tray. Chuck ate two bowls of oatmeal. We saved the two bowls of Greek yogurt (with honey from last night’s charcuterie board) for lunch, ate the bowl of melon and the orange juice. Ate the toast. Saved the bread. Drank the coffee (really wanted a second cup.) Good thing we have a refrigerator here.
Then the laundry started. We were at the end of our trip and had enough clean clothes to get home —barely. I blew up the two inflatable hangers that I had. Chuck strung the braided elastic clothes line from the light to the shower rod in the bathroom. I washed unders, socks, tee shirts, and a fleece top. Chuck was on clothes line duty. I threatened to take a picture of him balanced on the stool hanging up socks. Most of it is now clean and dry.
We took a walk and tried unsuccessfully to find a grocery store. Yesterday and today were holidays so some stores are closed. It rained yesterday, but today was typical grey, cloudy. We commiserated with the other detainees. We keep getting conflicting information on how long we have to isolate, tests, certificates, etc. It continues to be a strange feeling to be held hostage in a foreign country by our own country’s requirements.
Interesting fact: If you run into a sheep on the road, you have to pay the farmer. He does not have to pay for damages to your vehicle.
Iceland is very tied into geothermal and hydroelectric power for heat, light, and power. Gas costs over $3/liter ($12/gallon). Electric cars are popular.
Stay tuned.
