Out and about in Reykjavik

We decided to spend our last half day in Iceland exploring Reykjavik. I think that Reykjavik is the smallest capital city I've ever been to (population of about 270K or 70% of Iceland). It is by no means a bad thing though, and makes for a very serene and quaint atmosphere, which gives the city a lovely feel.

We stayed in an apartment right smack in the middle of downtown, so all we had to do was step outside to be surrounded by a multitude of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants. Here's a recap of our gallivanting around the city in pictures:

View from the balcony

The city pond
People were playing soccer on ice while we were trying to keep our balance hehe.


Feeding the duckies (and the swans and the geese)
There was a crazy geese fight that broke out shortly after...life in a frozen pond ain't easy!



View from the top
We went to the top of the city church to see the view of the city and snap these shots.



Making friends with the locals


Food - Icelandic style!
