Arriving in Iceland:

You will all arrive at the Keflavík international airport which is situated 45 minutes away from Reykjavík. There are regular Fly buses in connection with every flight, between Keflavik International Airport and the Central Bus Station (BSÍ) in Reykjavik. Often the bus service can bring you to your hotel, but be sure to buy a ticket all the way to the hotel. More information here.

Tickets can be bought on the internet or at the arrival inside the terminal building at the Reykjavik Excursions booth or in the ticket machine located by the exit door of the terminal building. Tickets are not sold on board the bus. If you need a taxi from the Central Bus Station to your hotel you will see taxis lined up outside the building when you exit the Central Bus Station in Reykjavík. 

Money can be exchanged at the local bank at Keflavik airport, and ATM machines are located widely around town, close to the hotels and credit cards are accepted (almost) everywhere in Iceland.

The excursion to Reykjanes and the Blue Lagoon:

The excursion is on Wednesday June 12^th and we depart from the conference venue at 13:30. We will visit The Reykjanes Peninsula with bubbling hot springs, dramatic lava fields, migratory birding cliffs, lonesome lighthouse, and a small wooden church, typical of rural Iceland, built right on the coast. We will among other things take a walk to the top of a small crater and finally end the day at The Blue Lagoon, one of the most visited attractions in Iceland, were we can relax in the hot water.

For the excursion please bring with you good clothes and shoes for outdoor walking and your swimsuits for the Blue Lagoon. Towels will be on the place.  And remember weather in Iceland is for ever changing so be prepared for all kinds of weather.
