Iceland - Day 5 - Reyjkavik

This is another day to explore the museums, other places of interest and, of course, the shops. Look for the “duty free for travelers” signs to get your VAT back.

‎The Settler's museum is a must see. Then we headed up Slolavoroustigur street for some shopping and enjoyed a delicious and reasonably priced, for Iceland, lunch at Cafe Babalu, en route to the Hallgrimskirkja. Nothing in the decor of the cafe indicates what you will find in the bathroom - lifesize Star Wars character cut-outs and colourful flashing lights. Check it out !

Headed back to the apartment for more shopping along Laugavegur to get some jewelry made by Icelandic craftspeople, with designs influenced by the local rocks and culture.

Down to the harbour for dinner at the renowned Icelandic Fish and Chips - definitely lived up to its reputation.
