Icelandic art, Keflavik Airport
Even through the windows of the bus from the airport, you can tell that Iceland is not your usual seascape
Our first dinner in Reyjkjavik, with Matthew and his team
Whalemeat on the left, puffin on the right. Yum!
Fresh fruit and skyr for pudding. Also yum.
Fríkirkjan, the Lutheran church, is one of the few buildings I know in this style made entirely out of corrugated iron
View across the City Pond from our front yard. That's the city hall to the right and the Cathedral at the back.
Another extraordinary architectural accomplishment in corrugated iron

On the harbourfront
Obligatory harbour front shot of rusty hulls and rubber tyres
This is a real harbour water front, with piles of rope everywhere. And abandoned lorries.
After a good fish supper, Matthew guided a party to the light house at the harbour entry, and back.

I took this picture on my way back from the bar, just before midnight
Sebastian and Matthew consider this history of the icelandic hotdog...

Street art in Reyjavik
Inside the Kolaportið "flea market" they sell all sorts of useful junk...
... including horse meat ...
... and smoked fish..
and dried fish. Of course.
Plaintive graffito somewhere in Reykjavik
