Driving Through Reykjavík from the Airport

 

 

 

 

Yes, my first photo in Iceland is of the windshield wipers on my car on the highway from Keflavík International Airport to Reykjavík.  I picked up a rental car from Route 1 Car Rentals (I HIGHLY recommend them) at the airport and proceeded into a fierce rainstorm.  The storm was the leftovers of Hurricane Irene.  My rental car was a Toyota Yaris with a manual transmission.  While I have driven a manual before, the six days that I was in Iceland were the first six days in a row that I had driven a stick shift.  A few days after returning to the states, and I am STILL searching for the clutch on my automatic transmission car!

 

Yay Iceland!

The first real scenery I saw.  Thanks clouds and fog.

All of the hay is packaged in these white plastic sheets to keep it dry from the incessant rain.
