P.S. I just took this photo (11:25PM) from our room in Reykjavik. Between cars with their muffler cutouts roaring by every 5 minutes and the incessant beat from the dance club down the block I'm hoping to get a decent night's sleep. Oh yeah, and people walking by screaming for some God knows why reason. And I'm on the 4th floor  with thick double glazed windows!!!!! There's got to be at least 3/4 of an inch of glass between us and the outside world....

 

Makes me long for the middle of nowhere again, or my apartment in the middle of NYC.

Ear plugs?

We didn't bring them. Who thought you'd need ear plugs in Iceland? Eye masks, check - even though I feel like I'm suffocating.

 

Also, it was nice to come back to the hotel after dinner to find a sign out front saying that they lock the front door after a certain time for security and if you need to get in you have to call a phone number!

Holy shit.

 

Not the most comforting last night.

 

I hope you guys can get some sleep and your flights are all good.

 

Can't wait to hear that ya'll are home safe and sound.

Hey they only get a few months a year in which to party like this, right?

Why can't they do it when it's dark out? I'm to understand that Reykjavik is like this after 11PM all year long.
