Whimbrel on the mount

Back to Akureyri for our last day in Iceland. Tomorrow we fly back to the UK, first the short hop in the wrong direction to Reykjavik and then back to the mess that is Heathrow airport. Why is it that the more they do to Heathrow, the less finished it ever is? I hate the place. Akureyri on the other hand is the perfect airport. It is just a shed by a runway with a bar serving good coffee. You drive in, park the car, check in, walk out to the plane and off you go. No messing about with car parks miles from the airport, multiple terminals, departure lounges, duty-free shopping, travellators, gates, gangways or worse, on & off coaches and the finally onto the plane. Ugh - no wonder I'm a grumpy old man.

Despite all this, we'll be back again soon ... I hope.
