On the day we left Iceland the snow was coming down again hard. We’d been warned that we had to (as usual anywhere in the world) return the rental with a full tank of gas. We’d also been warned there would be a 50 Euro cleaning fee if we returned it dirty. We’d been driving around in storms and over gravel for two weeks, so it was indeed dirty. We asked at the hotel, but nobody knew where a carwash near the airport was.
We started pulling off into all the small towns looking for a carwash. We found ducks before we found the carwash.
When we turned the car in the attendant told us the 50 euros fee was actually for cleaning the INSIDE of the car. We’d paid almost $25 for a carwash we didn’t need. Well that’s just ducky.
Our flights were uneventful other than watching an orange full moon rise beside us on the way to Burbank and a harsher than normal landing.
