Iceland, Day 2.

Woke up at 0400 hours. Long before breakfast time.

 The plan was to catch a ferry to an uninhabited little island with beaches and walking paths. On my way to the ferry, I remembered that I really like urban things. Things like wall art and street food. Change of plan.

The big church, finished in 1984

There is a statue of Leif Erikson out front. I always thought he was a Viking not a Lutheran. Maybe they aren’t mutually exclusive.

Looks like a good place for lunch.

The on the food truck says “eat like a king, live like a Viking”. At least that’s what Google says it says.

Lunch. Tasty lamb scraps on a hotdog bun.

Problem is, the purple condiment. It tried to get on my pants. The pants that I have to wear for another 30+ days.

The only thing I have found that requires cash in Iceland is the public toilets.
Reykjavik is seriously into pride.

indeed, 100,000 plus are expected at Saturday’s parade. I think that’s 25% of the population of the country.  

Time for more street food!

What’s not to love? A blow torch, doughnut

That donut was excellent. By the time I got back to the hotel, it was cloudy so it was nap time..

If I stick my head out the window, I can see the big church.

 I know that I should be off riding a tour bus around, taking in nature stuff. But I really am an urban person. I whole lot rather like taking the city stuff. There’s enough time for Nature when I get on the boat.
