Burger at Café Oliver

To quote a certain unnamed Riverside Boat Club member, it's strange to eat from a table on which one was dancing a few nights prior.

Clear day at the harbour

The whale watching boats and whaling boats are directly across the dock from each other, creating much tension as the fishing industry competes with the tourism industry.

Goodbye Reykjavik!

David and I are leaving a day earlier than the hemas. We are very sad to leave...it was a really wonderful vacation - lots of activities and lots of fresh air. We would really like to come back in the winter to see the northern lights and to stay in an ice hotel. Thank you hemas for making this such a memorable trip. Next stop, Israel...or China...

Brunch at Prikið, Reykjavík

Food quality is kind of meh, but it's one of the few places that's open at noon on Sunday.

Sigh... Well it's actually better than it sounds. At least the high is the same as the low :)
