We flew into Reykjavik; at least that's how the airport personnel announced it. We drove out of Reykjavik; at least that's how the camper-rental-man pronounced it. Now we're sitting in a van looking out some dried out fjord.

Hangin' in the van, drinking Iceland beer, cooking with the door open, crack another beer: after-midnight dinner-time. Writing silly songs, playin' the guitar, read a book of things to do, turn the heater on: after-dinner midnight-time, I meant after-midnight dinner-time. Moving stuff around so we can lay the bed down. After-midnight dinner-time.

Hunting for campsites forever. Hunting for campsites all night. Hunting for campsites forever. Hunting for campsites all day and all night; by the water by the harbor, by the water by a lava field, in a parking lot by a glacier lagoon, in another parking lot and some wildflowers. Hunting for campsites. Finding campsites. We found our last campsite.
