@tomfromhr
There's a trend here not to be as blunt about some things. A big important exhibit at the Culture House is behind a nondescript door.

A cute/friendly hot dog vendor informed me that the Icelandic word for apple sounds like orange, then made several bad puns. Love this place

Alright got all my shopping done. Everyone has souvenirs and I have some t-shirts. Bag is gonna be full coming home!

Got to the National Museum. Small, but well done, good history of Iceland. Going to try and do some last minute shopping before back home.

Very neat caf in the city hall. Great pastry called the...einsla?

On the way to find the National Museum I stumbled on the Reyk city hall. Beautiful, built right on the water.

The 871 settlement exhibit has a picture of the landscape of Reyk, overlaid with small screens, where a ghostly image appears when you pass

Saw a date listed as "6073 winters since the beginning of the world and 874 years before the incarnation of our lord"

Getting ready to hit the bar next door. It's 10pm and I'd swear it looks more like 7. Crazy.

The natural beauty of this place is seriously stunning.

Had a nap, then walked down to the shore by the big Viking boat statue. Stomach's killing me, not sure why. Had my first pylsur (hot dog).

Reyk is very hipster so far. Lots of fashion-forward looks.

Wow fatigue just hit me like a ton of bricks. Nearly falling asleep sitting in a wooden chair.

I swear there's something in the air here. It's like nothing I've seen or felt before.

One of the best cups of coffee I've ever had at a book store cafe in Reyk. Eydmundson, apparently.

For this being 10am on a Friday morning it's surprisingly quiet by the Icelandic Parliament.
