ICLD = Iceland journey
Lobby, check in... assign rooms, meet back at 5 for Gate 1 orientation.
We hike up the hill for a half mile and come to the old ruins... the concrete pads of the WWII military Quonset huts, and the gun pits mounts... the firing platforms for artillery/ cannon guns/ anti-aircraft guns to protect the bay/ airport/ city.
A bulkhead w/ graffiti, stairs down to underground... I though was an ammo magazine... plaque said it was the underground command center for RVK defense.
Walking around the concrete foundation ruins pads that were on this hill, overlooking the Reykjavik airport RKV,... the bay,... the North Atlantic ocean port of Reykjavik... the commanding view of the city ports, airport, docks,... THIS was the high ground that military troops command to defend a position.
These are the ruins of the WWII British soldiers,... then US Marines stationed in Iceland.
Dad was HERE on WWII duty!
This was unplanned/ unexpected.... These discovery days are what you live for.
You never drink twice from the same stream.
Just because you wander doesn't mean you're lost.
