Stupid Bankers! Egilsstadir, Iceland

Egilsstadir, Iceland Day 16. 07/July/2014 Stupid Bankers! Day score 6. First thing today was to get my bank card back. The cashier handed it over with no worries, but said they had called the bank to ask them to call me, so I would come back and pick it up. Oh no! This would mean that the bank would have cancelled the card. I went to the supermarket to try it and get some food. Indeed it did not work anymore, but my credit cards still did. I phoned the bank and had a futile discussion with the guy there to politely un-cancel the card but he said it could not be done and another had been sent out to my home address. What flippin use was it there… I went to the medical centre to pay for my examination. All a bit excessive I thought, considering there was nothing ever wrong with me and it cost 10,000KR £50. What ever. I walked back to the airport for more looking at weather and more drying of clothes. I went up to the control tower to pay landing fees and parking and discuss how not to embarrass myself on the next flight to Akureyri. I got to know the ground crew well and they were as kind and generous as all people have been to me so far. I dried more clothes and checked the engine over again and sorted out the oil. The weather is too windy here and not so good at Akureyri, but it looks ok for tomorrow. So back to the camp site for more rest. Thought for the day: That’s how I feel at the moment. I’m so fatigued from the lack of sleep for the last few months…
