Reykjavík, Iceland (day one)
As we approached Reykjavík on day twenty-five, we
watched Zuiderdam docking. It was fascinating to see
the longshore workers assisting the huge ship into port.
Sue, Pegi and Eric are taking an excursion to see sights
from around Reykjavík called Best of the Golden Circle but I preferred
to tour the city by myself. I do not like the long bus rides and am more
interested in seeing local sights.
I waved to them as their bus left
the terminal as I waiting for a
shuttle bus to take me to the Harpa Center (to which I returned after my walk). Meanwhile, the bus excursion will
take the others to Þingvellir National Park with it's waterfalls and
geysirs. They also
stopped at a horse
farm and a short
stop at the
Hellisheiði power
plant.
As for my adventure, I walked from the Harpa Center toward
Hallgrímskirkja, which is a famous church and landmark. I wanted to find OTO, the restaurant where Sue and I will go tomorrow night. I walked
past the Lebowski Bar (The Dude Abides). I
reached the church
and went to the top to
get a 360º view of the
city (clockwise, top
right, east->west).
