All good things come to an end and this fabulous adventure that incuded nearly 2,000 kms circumnavigating breathtaking Iceand was no exception.
With a high Northern Lights forecast rating Tegan and I took turns on sentry duty (read looking out the darkened windows in the middle of the night with one partly opened eye) before going for one final drive outside of Keflavik at 4.00a.m. to check if there was any potential for the Lights.
Our fears that the night sky was fully overcast were confirmed when a growing white light broke through cloud to reveal itself to be an aircraft on approach to Keflavik Airport and seemingly only a few hundred feet above us.
Going back to sleep now was nearly pointless and we were soon up and packed having breakfast on the run before returning our well used hire car by 7a.m.
With an onward journey to family in the UK and with Tegan and Billy looking forward to their Spanish adventure it might be a few more weeks before we can all sit down and reflect on our whirlwind tour and incredible adventure which of course included seeing the fabulous Northern Lights - mission accomplished !
