Ikke med i min plan / Not part of my plan

På vej fra sommerhuset i søndags stoppede vi i en fin lille by, Borgarnes. Der er den fineste havn og udsigt til havet! 

Mens vi var på vej til Reykjavik - og flyet - kom der SMS om at flyet var aflyst! Der gik så et par timer med stress og spekulationer. Altså - vi skulle jo på arbejde mandag!

On the way back from the summer house on Sunday we made a stop in a pretty little city, Borgarnes. They have a very pretty harbor and view of the ocean!

While we then were going back to Reykjavik - and the flight - we had a text message that the flight was cancelled! So the next few hours were stress and speculations. We should be at work on Monday!

Arbejdet var der jo ikke noget at gøre ved. Mine kolleger og jeg blev ombooket til dagen efter - men på helt forskellige fly med helt forskellige mellemlandinger. Min ene kollega tog i lufthavnen hvor de blev samlet op i en bus, fik mad og blev kørt tilbage til Reykvavik til et hotel. Min anden kollega og jeg valgte hotel i nærheden af lufthavnen - hun skulle nemlig flyve kl. 07 og skulle virkelig tidligt op! 

Landskabet der er virkelig anderledes end der hvor vi var i sommerhus. Ved siden af hotellet er der et varmeværk og der er fyldt med lava omkring, så det ligner faktisk noget fra en science fiction film. Vi nåede lige at komme en tur omkring Grindavik! I skal se billeder i morgen. 

So we couldn't do anything about work. My colleagues and I were re-booked to the next day - but on totally different flights with transits very different places. One of my colleagues went to the airport and got picked up by a bus, got food and then taken back to Reykjavik to a hotel. My other colleague and I chose a hotel close to the airport - she was flying out at 7 a.m. and had to get up really early!

The landscape there is really different from were we spent the weekend. Next to the hotel is a heat plant and there is lava everywhere, making it look like something out of a science fiction movie. We managed to drive though Grindavik, actually. I will post pictures tomorrow. 

Hotellet lå ikke bare i nærheden af lufthavnen, men også Den Blå Lagune! Ingen af os havde været der og vi havde nok begge to tænkt at det ikke ville ske. Jeg havde ikke gået alle mine skridt, så vi gik derhen på den fineste sti mellem al lavaen, og da vi kom nærmere også ved siden af det blå vand. Altså - det er HELT blåt! Det var en rigtig fin gåtur! Vi kom da aftenen startede og der blev færre og færre mennesker. Det var fantastisk! Jeg ved ikke om jeg nogensinde har siddet i et bassin i hele 3 timer tidligere! 

Så - aftenen blev rigtig god. 

The hotel was not just close to the airport, but also to The Blue Lagoon! None of us had been there, and both of us had been thinking we would never go. I hadn't walked all my steps, so we walked there on a very pretty path in between all the lava, and when we got closer, beside the blue water. Seriously - it is BRIGHT blue! It was such a nice walk! We came at the beginning of the evening and there were fewer and fewer people. It was amazing! I can't remember that I ever sat in a pool for entire 3 hours before! 

So - the evening turned out really well.
