Reykjavík, Iceland [Sunday afternoon into evening, February 17, 2019]

[heroic_jawline]

Fandomites arrive in Reykjavík around 2pm, which is plenty of time to explore the city before the sun goes down at 6. Museums and shops are open, and it's a good time to take advantage of buying warm Icelandic sweaters and cute boots before we head out to the wilder parts of the country tomorrow. We won't make it back to Reykjavík until Friday afternoon, after all, and there's a ton to see here!

The hotel is all ready for us to check in as well, if you'd rather just settle in and enjoy the spa and the room service.

"I just hope there's a lot of them," Astrid said, sounding a little sheepish, figuring that was just an easier answer than trying to explain away so many night spent trying to pick whatever she could out of the LA skies. "So many of them, that everywhere I look, there's a new constellation, some story that would have inspired them all the way back then, too.

"I mean," she added a hasty second later, "the stars were probably a little different all the way back then, but it's still a nice thought."

"I like that," Sabine decided. "And it seems like you should be able to get that up here. Either that or all my research lied."

"I think your research is right," Astrid grinned a little with her assurance. "Not nearly as much light pollution here. Even just a little while out of the city back home, and it was like looking at an entirely different sky."

Then she tilted her head curiously at Sabine. "Did you do a lot of research about this place before we came here?"

"Not an excessive amount or anything," she replied. "It's just a planet I don't know that well, with a bunch of different cultures and climates. I try to know what I should expect."

"Not a bad idea," Astrid said approvingly. "Anything you come across that you're hoping we get to see?"

"I feel really obvious when I say the Northern Lights, but I'd like to see the glaciers and hot springs and there's a plane crash wreckage that could be interesting, but that's lot on my list."

She saw enough stuff ruined, she could skip it. Especially when this all was going to make her a little homesick.
