Day 1: Reykjavik

After landing and customs and a 45 minute bus ride i made it safely to reykjavik about 5pm. Walked around and took photos but it was getting dark. Found a pub downtown and met a dude from boston, and a number of locals. Had a pretty good time, had some mentholated vodka that is made by a candy company, there’s actually a couple brands, gajol and opal. I liked the gajol better. We met this old crusty icelandic dude who was verry drunk, he spoke broken english, he told us he was a street fighter. “they call me black cat” I’m guessing he was a boxer when he was younger.. but thats about all the sence we made of him.. pretty entertaining evening.. viking brand beer is quite tasty.
