Missing the water

tapwater Missing the waterThe one nice thing about coming back home was seeing the sun blaring in my window before 9am.  You won’t get that at this time of the year in Iceland.  And you’d be lucky to see the sun at all since it hangs low with the chance of clouds or fjord  blocking the light more often that not.   However what I dearly miss about Iceland is the water.  Simple tap water is what I miss.  Cold and clean water fit for drinking.  And hot water that is as hot as you want and nearly instantaneous.  No more waiting 5 minutes for luke warm water that must be heated by fuel.  Going down to the local outdoor pool in the middle of winter for a swim or just a soak is also a major treat I enjoyed there.  I don’t think I really noticed how clean the air was until I got back.  It is funny how clean air and clean water is most noticeable when you don’t have it any longer.

I miss the water, hot, cold, swimming.  The scenery and people ain’t bad either…
