We arrived in the afternoon, had just been through the car wash, with our rental car, and while my better half went to check in, I took some paper tissue, and cleaned out dust in the door openings. Later my wife told me that the owner had closed the door in her face, to make her use some coded entrance. And had to come and help her. Then the owner came out to me and asked what I was doing. And I told her that I was preparing to return the car. It was sparkling new washed, as I wanted to make sure that there were no hidden dents. She asked who I was renting from, and because I thought it was none of her business, I for fun said that I wouldn't tell her, in case she would tell them that I was fixing up the car. By now we could get in, and I took a bucket of hot water from the bahtroom, to flush out some snow at the front grill of the car. And I laid down to push a rubber thing back in place under the car. When this lady, the Owner, came around the corner of the hotel with her phone taking pictures of me and the car. Now she was absolutely furious that we were washing and repairing our rental car at her property, and that we had taken water from inside. I tried to make her calm, but she was mentally gone. I moved the car one spot, and removed the snow that had come loose. She kept complaining that we were washing and repairing a car on her premises. After 5 minutes we decided to leave. Under no circumstances would we spend our last night on Iceland, under her roof. When we drove away, I tried to rationalize that other people might have brought in dirty cars to clean on her parking, and that might make her pre-tick. But ours were sparkling from the recent wash, and I had used own paper tissue, to clean hard to get to places. NOTHING in our behavior could redeem hers. We had paid, and paid again for another, very nice place, but rather double pay, than staying in Bates Motel. I will hopefully, with this written account, get her completely out of my memory. Iceland is wondefull! And we even saw the vulcano from the airplane! Total bonus :) Stefan, Denmark
