ICELAND - Reykjavik

Day 1: We arrived without incident at Keflavik airport and caught the FlyBus shuttle to our accommodation, Hotel Aska, in downtown Reykjavik. Quirky little hotel, self check-in, simple, no frills, perfect! Found a 'beer garden' restaurant for dinner, then booked a 48 hour Hop on - Hop off bus so we could see the sights of Reykjavik over the next couple of days.

Day 2: Did the full loop of the bus route to get our bearings then hopped off to see a few sights. Highlights were the rainbow street and Hallgrimskirkja church, astounding architecture resembling the basalt columns found throughout Iceland. Dinner at a delightful restaurant around the corner from our hotel, Potturinn og Pannan. Very popular, fully booked, and very delicious.
