Our first order of business in Iceland was to pick up our rental car, a fancy Toyota (see pictures) from the esteemed rental car company SadCars. We next drove into Reykjavik to find our apartment, which we did shortly after correcting one wrong turn made at the outset of entering the city.
The drive from Keflavic (name of airport) provided us with views of the rugged Icelandic terrain, which is mostly rocky with thick moss and grass. There is also an abundance of wild flowers, in particular the purple and white lupines. In some spots, the ground looks as if it has been pushed up from beneath by some huge fist, which leaves behind many rocky mounds crisscrossed by large cracks. The terrain turned more grassy and hilly as we entered Reykjavik.
We ended the day with a walk along the ocean and dinner purchased from a nearby supermarket. (TS)
