Arriving in Reykjavik

After a nice dinner and cozy nap on board IcelandAir, I arrived at Keflavik International Airport at 6am Iceland time. Formerly a US Military base during the Cold War, it was turned over to Iceland and has been named the "Best Airport in Europe".  This is a sleek, modern facility that is highly efficient. Just outside I boarded the Fly Bus for 45 minutes drive into town. Fly Bus (Reykjavik Excursions) is a comfortable large bus with wifi access.

Such a delight to be greeted by Dr Sigurveig Siguroardottir, Dean of the Social Work program at University of Iceland. She graciously stopped at the grocery so I could stock up for my apartment then off to downtown for coffee. This charming local shop has been operated by the same family for several generations.

A latte in Icelandic coffee shop is more than coffee, its topped with a stunning design. Icelandic baristas are award winners in many competitions. And, yes, the latte taste is equally fabulous.
