17th August - Reykjavik

Upon our arrival at the capital of Iceland we went to pick up a car. Before the trip could be started we had to get an insurance on this car as it was not ours. The woman at the insurance company just looked at the papers (the car is 16 years old) then looked at us and asked: "Are you sure that the insurance is not more expensive than the car itself?" Pat and me just looked at each other and spent some time convincing that woman that our cute little Subaru was worth more than a few hundres franks. We succeeded and finally got our insurance.
