The five minute border patrol took one hour, they needed to make a new sign. We boarded a bus for the hour-long ride to the hotel where we met four or five other buses from other cruise lines arriving at the same time. What a mess! After a quick breakfast we checked in and took a short rest. However, we don't like wasting even a minute of a vacation, so we headed out to see Reykjavík on foot.

Checking the currency exchange, we realized that a salad was $24 and a bowl of soup was more than $30. We decided we could find something more reasonable. We ate at a delightful restaurant down the road and had a full meal and dessert for the price of a salad and a half, our new currency. We headed back to the room to get ready for the next day and get some sleep.
