Due to a change in timetables I'm arriving just in time
at the Berchem (Antwerp) train station so the whole group
can just catch the International train to Shiphol (Amsterdam).
Since I'm arriving last, I get the last foodpackage (we already
received the biggest part of the package before)
The two hour trip to the airport gives us enough time to
learn to know each other (10 peoples who never met).
At 11:30 check-in of 10 backpacks and lot's of tent-bags.
At departure we rewind hour clocks with two hours and at
three o'clock we arrive in Keflavik (the international
airport of Iceland)
The weather is not as good here: low clouds and a light
drizzle... but then again, this is Iceland and not Spain.
The bus brings us in one hours to the youth hostel in
Reykjavik through a rather desolate landscape... it's a
very "un-earth" sighting...
At 5:15PM we can take our rooms. All male persons are in
ROOM 1. The three woman of our group share a room with
Germans.
After a refreshing shower, we take a (long) walk into the
city center (through the shopping street) and enter a small
Italian restaurant for a delissious meal.
At 9PM we return to our sleeping bags... tomorrow is an early
wake-up call.
