Reykjavik

I've been taking pics from Reykjavik, but haven't posted any as I knew I'd be taking them all the way until we left today. I've also included about half a dozen pics of the Blue Lagoon, which I didn't go into for fear of getting harpooned.

All pics.

I believe this statue is of Ingolfur Arnarson, the first permanent settler on Iceland. Ingolfur was kicked out of Norway for participating in a blood feud.


Not sure what is here today, but on an old picture in a cafe the structure housed a small shop.


Heh. Næsti bar. It's pronounced just like "nasty". We ate in several "næsti" subways and had lots of immature fun with that. The word actually means "next".


They have some nice, old buildings here, but I wouldn't recommend Reykjavik for the architecture.


One of the main shopping streets.


A Christmas display to compete with the worst in America.


You can see the Hallgrim's Church pretty much everywhere in Reykjavik. Very practical.


The very special lava landscape around the Blue Lagoon.
