Iceland 6: debrief

Back in Singapore, I initially struggled to explain why I had so much fun in Iceland.

- We didn't see the Northern Lights
- The weather was mostly bad
- Only 4-6hrs of light per day (if not totally cloudy/rainy/snowy)
- We spent many hours driving

However,
- we ate really well, thanks to our icelandic home cooking expert
- it was very pleasant to spend many hours in the car with YH, Julia and Seok. Yes, there was some singing involved. And after awhile it was ok that the entire car smelt of antifreeze whenever we cleaned the windscreen. (Also nice chatting with YR and SW when we switched cars.)
- even when we were stormed in, somehow managed to entertain ourselves. if they ever need second careers, SQ and YH can start a talkshow...
- Iceland has a rugged beauty, and snow can transform a simple field of grass or scrub into a landscape worthy of Lord of the Rings/ vampire horror movie.
- awesome sunrises and sunsets. And believe me, the sun was ALWAYS either rising or setting.
- puffins.

Worth the trip. Might be even better in March (better weather?), and/or summer.
