18: farthest hiked in 1 day, in IMEU
16: letters in Eyjafjallajokull
9: gears of the busses in/out of the Highlands

5: possible huts for shelter along the way
4: rivers forded by foot

0: serious injuries (to us!), regrets about paying a guide, correct glacier pronunciations, hot pots, showers, earthquakes, eruptions, buildings, pavement, cell phones, night skies
More Reykjavik adventures to come!!
