Winter is coming

At long last our time in mainland Europe is come to an end. But I had one more thing I wanted to do before leaving Denmark: have a danish.

From the Andersen bakery near Tivoli Gardens. Delicious.

Then it was off to Iceland. It is about a 3 hour flight to Reykjavik from Copenhagen.

Disembarking in Iceland

Of course it is summer, not winter in Iceland. The temperature was about 13C when we arrived. By the time we got to our hotel and had dinner it was raining, so we didn't go out to do anything. The great thing about this time of year is it never gets dark, so you can go see things late at night, if you feel like it. Sunset was at 11:55pm, so no official midnight sun, but then it becomes dusk and never gets any darker, because the sun comes back up at 3:00am. The only drawback is no chance to see the famous northern lights at this time of the year.
