This last morning we hit a couple of museums. Skógasafn is a three part museum. Folk museum, Open Air with buildings and the transport museum. As usual, we could have stayed longer. The second museum, the Lava museum we did manage to hit all the interactive exhibits. They had a movie, with bean bags in addition to regular seats. Just a nice touch. Lunch was my last meal in Iceland, I made sure to have some of that fish.
If I thought the airport at Iceland was a quiet little hub, boy was I wrong. Apparently it's a huge airport for transfers. Once you got through the relatively small and calm check in area to the gates the chaos ensued. It looks small from the outside, but behind the gates there were masses switching planes. I thought I had plenty of time, but after the first security check, they had a second international check, then a third TSA check for 'special' people flying to the US. At that last stop I had to throw away my powder tooth paste I specifically bought so that I didn't have to deal with liquids. Can't win. I barely had time to grab a sandwich before I decided I should wait in the line that nobody said I should wait in but which seemed to be the thing to do. I find the proactive service in Iceland generally non-existan, us American's are actually spoilt a bit in that regard. The flight was good. I saw a little bit of Greenland as we followed the sun west. I had another stop in Portland before heading home.
Ready, set, let's go again! Loved this trip.
