A nice leisurely start to the day, browsing
the book store for some books on Iceland. Found an excellent, albeit pricey
($40), book on walking tours in Reykjavik (6 in all) which just came out 2 days
ago. Had a good coffee and delicious carrot cake at Stofan, then on with our
walking tour, new book in hand.
We had fabulous soup, sandwiches and pastry
for lunch at Bakari Sandholt, with artisan bread. The long line-up was worth
it. Don't worry, there is lots of seating.
Continuing up Laugavegur street, the boys
dropped into the Phallological Museum (they were not impressed), while the
girls did some shopping. Heading up to the Cathedral we were on time for a
lovely performance on the organ. Then to the craft stores along
Skolavoroustigur to browse and be tempted.
A rest at our hotel before an evening explore
of the Harbour area. Not finding a restaurant we could agree on in the Harbour
(although several looked good), we went back to Ingolfsstruti and had dinner at Solon.
The crab cake appetizer was amazing and so were the mains. Definitely recommend
this place.
As it was the summer solstice, everyone was
dressed up and ready to party all night. We were taking pictures on the street
at midnight – no flash required !
