Jet lag had me like … an insomniac last night. All I could think about while I laid awake in my KEX dorm room was their yummy AF breakfast that started in 4 hours 😂😂. Fricking starving. There is nothing worse than a hostel dorm when your body clock wants to jump around and eat food and you have to be quiet. No shuffling through your pack or raiding a kitchen. Note to traveler self: when traveling 8 hours out of your time zone and your flight leaves @11am DO NOT sleep the night before. Be exhausted so you can sleep 😴 en route.

The hours finally passed during which I booked a Kexland Golden Circle tour and new accommodations for later in the week. (Don’t wait too last minute to book stuff here…..Iceland is having a moment). Found out via a 4amText:Travel partners are delayed a day 🙄……BUT Yay! It was finally breakfast time. Heaven. Made a to do list. Shop for a warm coat, buy snacks.

Some photos of today’s walk about

The anorak with faux fur trimmed hood was the best idea ever.

I’m holed up tonight in my cozy attic working on my cheeks, listening to A bunch of Icelandic playlists and the RAIN on the skylight windows, happily napping, eating snacks, 👀 at maps and unpacking my pack. 

This was nice
