The friendly restaurant/coffeeshop Duus is nestled in the harbor at Grof in Kevlavik, home to Iceland’s International Airport and host to a Naval Air Station which supports NATO operations. In true U.S. fashion of course, the base does not operate under a Status-of-Force agreement and has been illegally occupying the space since shortly after World War II. On any given day at Duus, you will probably see any number of servicemen or women from the base enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee and some bouillabaisse.

The restrooms are accessible from the harbor-side of the building leading me to think I would be able to watch the dingy’s docking as I drained my wang. Unfortunately, I was not so lucky. The restroom was basicly a small windowless closet. The walls were adorned in a fake marble plastic sheeting which I found quite common in Iceland and a small thin radiator was mounted on the wall. Drying of your hands may be accomplished using the Vortice automatic handdryer (or seche-mains handretrockner asciugamani if you will).
