To finish our stay, we hopped back in our car and drove around the Reykjanes peninsula.\u00a0 This is where the airport is, and therefore where Dan spent Thursday morning, but Leigh hadn’t seen any of it, and there’s a lot to see.\u00a0 Driving around randomly looking for lunch brought us to a delightful little oceanside cafe in Grindavik that mainly just had lobster bisque, but that’s OK, because it was *good* lobster bisque.<\/p>\n
