Traveling to Iceland day

We had an incredibly early start this morning, with a wake up call at 3am. We were up and away at 330am traveling back to Helsinki on a bus, where we all crashed. Our flight out of Helsinki was at 730am . We were all soo tired, but we arrived in London, where we had to go through immigration physically get our bags and then head to a completely different terminal. Unfortunately Zanzee's hockey bag somehow didn't get on the flight and was left bag less. Also one of the two stick bags didn't arrive, which is very inconvenient considering we have a practice game tomorrow. We had a three hour stopover in London, where we spent most of the time transferring terminals, but it all went smooth. Our flight from London To Iceland was only 3 hours which seems so short to us all now compared to the 13hour flights. We arrived in Iceland at around 4pm, Landing in Iceland seemed like we were landing on the moon. You cannot see anything but rock, moss and snow, its unbelievable, no buildings, no nothing. Not a very interesting country to fly into at all. When we arrived Sharee Haslemore was here to meet us! she couldnt join us on our finland camp as she goes to Uni in the states and couldnt get time off. Very good to meet up with her though, then we were straight onto our team bus then headed for our hotel which was around a half an hour drive. We all settled in, the rooms are SO TINY!!! we headed down for dinner at 7pm, very yummy food, soo we are once again very happy :) Good to arrive here in Iceland! Everything is good with us, we are just really hoping The stick bag and Zanzee's bag arrives asap! Early night for the team, have a game tomorrow at 11am playing the actual Iceland womans team soo we are excited for that. Will keep you posted :)
