It lies on the Southern side of the Rhone valley in the canton of Wallis. This Swiss canton (State) is home to two of the four national languages of Switzerland, German and French. Zermatt is situated in the German part, although in the village you can normally hear Read on...
Our Icelandair flight arrived at Keflavik (pronounced Keplavik) at 6:20 a.m. All flights from North America appear to arrive in this time slot and the airport ramp is densely packed with more arrivals than there are gates.

We didnt have that much territory to cover today, so we did not leave the hotel until 8:55. But the real reason is that we are on the far west side of the eastern time zone and it is still dark at 7 AM. So we did not wake up until after 7:30. So, two excuses, you pick one. LOL
When we left the hotel it was 67 degrees with a promise of warming into the 80s. And it did. The plan was to drive east f Read on...

For breakfast, we had ordered room service before retiring - a little disappointing because there was so little choice on the menu. After this first day, we figured out that it was better to order in the morning after waking up. Then we could order whatever we wanted, like scrambled eggs and toast. The service never took longer than about twenty minutes to deliver. One day Ruth ordered, and it did Read on...
