It is already our final day here in Iceland - hard to believe. In our short stay here we have seen so much and feel a connection to this beautiful, rugged country which is full of surprises around each corner. After breaking camp (grateful that our tent is dry), we headed in to Reyjkavik to explore a bit of the city on foot. We will go to the top of the church to enjoy a panoramic view of the city, walk the streets of old town and do some sightseeing. Reyjkavik is a charming place. We had a wonderful day exploring side streets, chanced upon an organ concert at the church, found an excellent (and reasonably priced) bakery, learned from past misadventures and parked on the street - not in a parkade - all in all a good day. Headed out to Keflavik to find Raven's B&B and settle in for our last short night before dropping off our car and going to the airport at 5 am.
Leif Eriksson, the explorer, stands in front of the landmark church, Hallgrimskirkja, with an outlook toward the sea. This statue was a gift from the USA on the 1000th anniversary of the Icelandic Parliament, Albingi.
...and the newest, Dunkin' Donuts. It is apparently a big deal as can be seen by the long line up and the security guard who controls the number of people who can enter at a time.
