- Start of day: Old Reykjavik Charm, Reykjavik
- End of day: Old Reykjavik Charm, Reykjavik
At the bottom of the hill, near the Sun Voyager sculpture, is a little bakery. I found a spot in the corner, had a coffee and croissant, and caught up on some news.
Today was a wet, chilly day, with mostly light rain with some heavier at times. Not the best day to be taking in the sites. I was thankful for my Columbia rain jacket.
There’s a punk museum over by the Prime Minister’s house:
Reykjavik’s iconic rainbow road:
Another iconic venue is Hús máls og menningar, a bookstore with a bar and live music.
Daughter and I did some souvenir shopping (pot holder and coaster) and walked around a bit. Otherwise we were mostly indoors today, with the exception of wife and son popping out for Oreo ice cream.
Last dinner in Iceland
In the evening three of us set out to Subway (eat fresh!). Wife and daughter wanted something quick and predictable for dinner.
I was set on trying to find a restaurant for myself for my last dinner in Iceland, but I couldn’t get past my introversion enough to sit in a busy restaurant by myself, though I did end up walking about 2.5 miles, which was good exercise.
Tomorrow we need to be out by 11am, so I have a car arranged and I really hope they show up on time, as more rain is predicted. This gets us to the airport around 11:45am for a 4:45pm flight, but I don’t see a way around it. Better early than late and all that, right? It will be a long day. The flight itself is 6.5 hours, and with the time difference we land around 7:30pm EDT. I’ve booked for us to do our Global Entry interviews on arrival. Plus get our bags, schlep to the economy lot, drive home… and then I repack for a trip to NYC the next day. Whew. I’ll be a happy camper come June 24.
