Well, talk about batting out zero. All 4 things we had planned today were a bust. Our trip to a nearby lake was abandoned because of the blizzard. We then decided to go to the local outdoor pool. No luck. We could not find it. We made a mistake by going into a school and the teacher sent 2 children with us to find it but once there we found that it was only open for the students. Next we decided to try to visit the aeronautical museum. That was closed. Back at our warm hotel, we came up with a fourth idea - a dinner at the Thai restaurant. We were looking out the window at the blizzard and the electricity went out. It was out for hours. Blizzard kept raging on. It was predicted that the electricity would take until next day to fix. Thankfully it was on just before dark. So we knew the Thai restaurant would not be open. So we feasted on local cheese and good breads.
What a remarkable sight seeing the kids swimming in the warm 83F pool with blizzard roaring around them. The teacher is on the left dressed in his parka.
Where we were at our hotel the snow would melt fairly soon. Further north it was deep and some travelers were delayed for quite a while.
Snow kept the tour buses home.
Thank God we stocked up on local cheese. The Icelandics produce very good baked goods and breads too.
Excellent Icelandic cheeses for sale at the supermarket..
The weather is predicted to be better tomorrow so we hope to go to Borganes.
