1st Nov (Mon) - Iceland Day 7 + Back in Copenhagen

It rained today at Iceland, making it rather impossible for me to head out and grab some lunch. The cold weather plus the wind chill would be enough to kill me - figuratively speaking. So I opted for an earlier bus to the airport today and got my lunch there.

I also got a bottle of Icelandic vodka (1 litre), a bottle of Icelandic wine and a tiny bottle of Icelandic Schnapps from the duty-free to try when I'm back home. Oh boy... i wonder how they taste like and I do hope that they will survive the journey back home.

At first, I wanted to ship them back. But considering that there was no post office nor TNT/ DHL near where I was staying - be it in Iceland or in Copenhagen, I gave up the idea. And since I'm beginning to feel unwell, I thought it's better to stay indoors as much as possible and not risk getting it any worse. A sore throat and a cough had caught up with me.

Think it's partly because my immune system was down with my rib injury, and also partly because of (1) the horrendous wind chill while I was doing the glacier hike + the northern lights chases and(2) my dorm mate from a few days ago was down with serious flu and I could have caught the bug then. Darn. What luck.

So now that I have checked into my nice hotel room in Copenhagen, I shall get my medication and go to sleep. Ciao.


* P.S: I hope to be back in Iceland someday and explore the other parts. And hopefully, I'll be in time to see the Puffins and the whales as well. :)
