Toronto marathon

Watching the Toronto marathon.  Can't see a damn thing through the barriers.

Corrupt media probably put them up.

Car rental

We arrived at keflavik airport and were greeted by a cheerful young man delivering our car to us.  There are no rental booths like at other airports.  They just bring you the car.  Going over our agreement he says

1.  You are not covered for gravel.  Damage from gravel.  We say...ok.
2. You are not covered for damage to the undercarriage.  um. ..ok
3.  You are not covered for wind.  WIND?  Yes, like if the wind blows a door off.  Ha ha, we laugh.  Ok. 

As he hands over the keys I ask...is there anything else we should know.  Yes, he says, there may be sheep.  He said this with a smile.

There were sheep!  Everywhere.  Not contained in fenced in areas.  Sheep on the road, sheep on the mountains, sheep everywhere!

As for the wind...it almost happened.  It's hard to tell how windy it is because there aren't any trees. 

Wild life

On safari in Iceland we had some sightings of the wildlife.

Signs

It seems that Icelandic people have a good sense of humour.  We saw all kinds of signs warning us of things we should not do.  Such as, do not use the side of the highway as a toilet.  Here are a few of the signs we saw.

And this one is in the airport building:

Heat wave

It was ridiculously hot here all week.  We were sweltering and overdressed.  Sunburn was a big problem. I have never had such a burn.

Bathrooms

Three women travelling together spend an inordinate amount of time searching for bathrooms.  In general, bathrooms were very clean in iceland.  They often charge 100 to 200 kr which translates to 1 or 2 dollars so if we paid to get into a museum and used the bathroom for free we felt like we had gotten our money's worth.

Now...the free outdoor bathrooms, on the other hand, were the most disgusting we had ever seen.  First prize goes to the port o lets at Diettofoss waterfalls.  Second prize goes to the toilets at the caves. 
I wouldn't want to be there in august after another million  visitors traipse through.

Volcano

Just went to the center of the earth.
