Some hopeful news on the weather

Having all day to get ready I've been getting as much new Iceland information as I can - notably on the weather. It is supposed to be 12C and sunny-ish on Friday so we've booked a mini-bus tour of The Golden Circle. 

This will cover a popular area that is not accessed on the cruise. They suggest rain gear and hiking boots so I suppose fitness will be tested right off the bat. We have the suggested gear but hope not to need the rain stuff. Just in case, I sprayed all jackets, shoes and rain pants this morning to add a measure of waterproofing. Dad's Tilley Hat will be my headgear of choice. My blue toque will be headgear of last resort if we encounter really nasty cold weather.

We will set out from Windy Ridge at 5 pm to give us enough time to get to the airport for 7 pm, through Toronto traffic. Despite a hiccup of the travel agent forgetting to book our seats, we have that sorted out now. I'll shortly check in online to hopefully shorten the airport experience.

I will probably use some time today to learn a few helpful phrases in Icelandic. Based on the cost of things I can probably start with "which way to the nearest ATM?"
