The flight we were supposed to take to Reykjavik! |
Day 52 was supposed to see us make the trip from
wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen (as the song goes) out to the supposedly
accidently discovered Viking expansion of Iceland. As I previously mentioned,
my fondness of the TV series Vikings got me right into the history of these
sea-faring people. Having seen into season 5 after we returned from honeymoon,
they would have you believe Floki landed on these fabled shores after handing
himself to the gods and the tides. While Floki maybe have been a real person, this
is not quite how Iceland was found, but Floki did live out his days on this
intriguing and beautiful island.
