Our first full day in Iceland! We’re staying at Hotel Fron, right in the heart of Reykjavik’s central area. This city is amazing!
Basically today was get a lay of the land kind of day… Lots of walking around, seeing the sights and soaking in the funky architecture, cool shops and bars and eating as much of the food as possible!
Our rather large day consisted of:
- started off at an enormous church and went to the bell tower for a spectacular 360 degree view of the city
- had delicious coffee @ a cool cafe called Haiti – where they roast and grind their coffee direct from, well, Haiti
- found the well known hotdog stand and tried their produce – twas delicious! So many celebrties have eaten here, so we added ourselves to the list
- the port/harbour area and had lobster soup for lunch
- did our washing at the uber cool Laundromat Cafe and had a drink (great concept this – do your washing downstairs, go upstairs for a drink/lunch)
- checked out the Harper Concert Hall which is an amazing piece of architecture inside-and-out
- had a drink in Bunk Bar and people watched
- had dinner at a fine dining restaurant – one of the oldest buildings in Reykjavik – couldn’t bring ourselves to try the fermented shark sadly
- checked out the many cool shops along the main strips
- took photos of amazing street art and architecture
Here’s a few photos of our day!
