A few hours already here and it feels sweet like home.
But lets take it from the beginning.
My flight was departing from gate 5A (Iceland Air to Reykjavik). Attached next gate, 5B Aegean was flying back home to Larnaca. What a coincidence. Me living on the most South-Eastern point of Europe and my dreamland Iceland being at the most North-Western point of Europe. The flight was full (41 rows X 6 per row)
Anyway, the flight was quite interesting (just a regular flight) with some details that uprated it. Personal touch screen TV, an amazing book about the island. Plenty of interesting quotes all over the place. In addition half of their flight shop magazine included icelandic designers.
I also found out about their "Halloween" that takes place from 11-13 February. Have a look below.
An event is held tonight "swimming pool day" where parties and events are held until midnight for free for all citizens. I am too tired though and decided to pass and just relax at the amazing KEX Hostel. Just a photo from a part of the bar. More are soon to follow.
Its time for good night.
And if the Halloween did not surprise you, bare in mind that the main street trees, in neighborhoods and around the windows of the houses, many "Christmas" lights are still on

In general except films, series, someone can see documentaries about Iceland, how Harpa conference hall was built (and that would be a nice documentary for Cyprus politicians to see how they dealt with the financial crisis). Last but no least in 2013 Icelandair will install WiFi in all its planes!!!!!
About the flight, it was sunny i must say and smooth (since you are just flying above the sea). When we started landing i noticed that after flying below the first level of clouds we were in between two different cloud levels. Interesting.
Drizzle was the major event, temperature around 8 oC but it was windy. My new coat though made it too easy to face it. The bus from the airport to the city (40 minute trip) had WiFi also.
Nice weather but not a good one for Northern lights. The tour has been cancelled for tonight and i will probably go tomorrow if the weather permits.
A walk down town for a hamburger and beer at Solmon (16 euro). I forgot to mention that no need for cash in Iceland. Everywhere your card is accepted.
