Starting out early? Not really, at 10:00 the moon is still out and only it’s starting to get light.Walking past a world famous bakery. Braud’ home of the best cinnamon bun in the world.Our first destination, Hallgrímskirkja, an Evangelical Lutheran church with a wonderful tower to watch the sunrise.An elevator to the bell tower then stairs to the observation deck. The ‘Oh my’ initial view of the city360 degree view of Reykjavík One minute to 11:00 and the sun peaks out. Sunrise.
The history of the church is fascinating. Iceland’s faith history is an amazing journey.We stayed for the Pipe Organ/Piano concert. A beautiful Bach list of pieces. Whenever we travel the best part is meeting new people. This is Tony from Austria. To hear our story with him please email me and I will go into detail it is a wonderful story.During coffee at Reykjavík Roasters we ran into a self described celebrity, the honorary ‘Mayor’ of Reykjavík, Lisa, an Ex-Pat American from Oregon. Lisa attempted to talk us into migrating to Iceland. A Christmas folk tale involves The Yule Cat. A gigantic feline who wanders Reykjavík and eats children who did not get new clothes for Christmas. (A word to the wise)
A structure outside the Harpa Building. It was constructed exactly like the Vikings did in the 900s. A store in downtown Reykjavík. The famous Dracula mural. Business mural. Good dinner of fish & Chips. Time to head out to a night time activity – the results tomorrow.
