Reykjavik - 12 February 2014

Our final morning in Iceland as we fly out at 3:30pm and are being picked up from the hotel at noon. We wanted to make the most of our time here so we left the hotel at 9am for a look down the shopping street and old town. We thought we would do the shops first as it was still dark (sunrise is about 9:30am at this time of year) but most of them didn't open until 10am so we mostly window shopped.

We then walked down to the old town but there wasn't much too see - we walked past their parliament building and along a pretty frozen lake before stopping for coffee, and then made our way back to the hotel to finish packing before our pick up.

Square in the old town
A very strange statue (and a strange man talking to it!)
People were walking on this lake!

We have really enjoyed our time in Iceland - we have found the people helpful and friendly, the food delicious and scenery amazing. Reykajvik is a small, compact city which you can walk around quite easily - it would have been nice to have had an extra half day to go to some of the museums but we pretty much did everything that we wanted to do.
