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).
