the SAGA continues

Day Two and look out Reykjavik!
I slept rather well last night, two young ladies from Switzerland arrived late to the room while I was out blogging, and one of the roomies knew about the blind for the window, I had closed the curtain but was not aware of the roller blind, it made the room much darker and sleep was easier! Yaay!
About quarter to two back home, and quarter to 9 in the morning here, I am still a tiny bit sleepy, but then nine is still a tiny bit early for me if I am honest!
Colors on the wrapper of a chocolate bar will help you decide, if you pay attention.
There was one last night form the machine that was yellow and black. I know the word for chocolate, but it was hiding a long large stripe of black licorice inside...blech! So, I had to go buy another one that was edible. Such a sensitive palate I have. Thank goodness that the snickers bar has a distinctive wrapper. What is fun is that so far the vending machines I have seen all will take your credit-card.
There was a “cereal” bar, some puffy grains, flavored with banana and a nice layer of chocolate.
I guess I will be taste testing the chocolate bars while in Iceland, as the options for other snacks is a bit limited. Apples were 500 Ikr a kilo, or about $2 a pound, I may have to get a few of them for snacks and cooking with.
Still on the fence about doing the fishing or not, and thinking what the heck, they have a bulletin board, if I catch anything I will just cook it up and offer to anyone who wants some for dinner tonight.
Well, no more flavored skyr for me, it does not taste right. I will pick up some of the plain stuff today and give it a try. The good side of the flavored stuff is the spoon inside the lid for you to eat it with. It is a plastic shovel shape, that folds in half in the middle, and snaps into place. It can be unsnapped to fold back up. I now have two of them. Cute and clever!
I now have a map of the buses and places I want to try and see today, so we will see if I survive the system to return and actually get the blog up-loaded tonight allowing for the further adventures.
NOTE the Lupine is considered a weed, and imported, likely by the US from the base. It gets used for some erosion control, but now i looks like they are trying to get rid of it, disruptive to the native plants in a big way.
