20 degrees difference


Well, we have arrived in Iceland on what is considered to be a warm day, the only trouble is it's about 20 degrees colder than the UK. Guess that's why it's called Iceland :)
 We have only seen a small part of the island going from the airport to the city of  Reykjavik. In that short distance the scenery was pretty amazing. Can't wait to get out into the real countryside.
We were taken to collect our cars this afternoon. Found molly all tucked up in a nice container. She started first time and ran well. Some of the other cars needed a little bit of persuasion to get them 
going.
It's scrutineering tomorrow and we get the all important stickers. Once they are on the car you feel like you're on a proper rally, and Molly looks at her best.
The organisers gave us a route back to the hotel giving us instructions know as a tulip map. For some reason, best described as a ' your right not mine' moment we had a slightly longer drive back to the hotel than planned. We have now seen most of the delights Reykjavik has to offer, including the bus garage, twice 😉
I am writing this at 9.00 and it's still light, we are hoping to see the Northern lights on this trip.
Looking forward to starting the Historic Rally Endurance Organistions Iclendic Saga, snow tyres at the ready.
