End of Iceland, onto London

After our adventures with the Toyota, Natalie and I were more than happy to return our little car to its rightful owner. We also needed recovery time and spent our last three ish days wandering around Reykjavik, highlighted by a tour of the northern lights, some serious coffee shop thinking, and the great Icelandic pub crawl, called the Runtur, on our last night. We journeyed out over the ice in our heels around 11pm, left the bar around 6am and found a group of people still queuing to get in. It rounds out the list of top nights out, but unfortunately we had to catch the flybus to the airport at 8:30 the next morning.

Arriving at Gatwick around 3, I made my way into central London for one more day in England before heading back to Michigan for Christmas. The trip manifested itself with Indian food, walks along the Thames, a trip to Camden, the Tate Modern, and the various large and not so large Christmas trees of London.

so the first two pictures are of the northern lights (much more spectacular in person but nevertheless present), and the rest are from various locations in London including Parliment, Camden market, chinatown, millenium bridge, and St. Pauls.
