We are heading to Part 2 of our honeymoon today! Next up - ICELAND.
We took the morning packing up and buying some souvenirs before heading to the airport.
Our flight was Finnair costing us about USD$300+ for 2 person to Keflavik. Upon arrival, we took the Gray Line bus that stopped near our apartment. We chose a budget apartment since we will be out most of the time and also prices in Iceland is not cheap! Oh, actually everywhere also not cheap lah, but we spent quite luxuriously at Finland remember? haha..
We stayed at Stay Apartment at Einholt, which is a self-service apartment. No front desk or anything. If you need help, there's a phone to call them. We chose this also because it has free parking as we will be renting car after this.
The place is clean so that's fine for us.
Because my luggage cracked when I landed, I had to check some insurance stuff and also went to the supermarket to stock up snacks and water. There is a big supermarket called Bonus near our apartment so very very convenient. However, here the supermarket closes early at 6pm so do your grocery before dinner! Oh, and bring your own carriers cause they charge.
By the time we were done, it was getting close to dinner time, so we headed for the tourist information centre first before going for dinner. We need data for our Iceland journey, and our Starhub data didn't cover Iceland... so we found out tourist information centre do sell that.
Then we headed for Sagreifinn - The Sea Baron located near the seaside, supposedly famous for lobster soup!
It also sells lot of different types of seafood, fishes, and you can pick what you want (in sticks), and they grill it for you, similar to "lok-lok".
We order lobster soup, 1 grilled fish and scallop. It is not cheap.... cost us ISK4.5K, which is about SGD$50. I find it not worth it... and not that great....
It was quite dark already, so we strolled back and purposely pass by the famous Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur - the famous Baejarins hotdog! If you didn't do your homework, you couldn't have stopped by and eat, cause it's just a cart out of nowhere.
It was dark, so no photos, but it was really tasty and warm - shiok when the weather is cold. It cost ISK450 though.
All ready for the next day to tour the city!
