dailies from Iceland: we have arrived in Reykjavik

Hallgrimskirkja and moody skies, Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik is a city like no other. Trying to find similarities, one thinks about New England, but also Sweeden and something else that is probably Icelandic.This mix produces a town that feels warm and inviting , surrounded by water and a strange silence.

Rain awaited us as soon as we arrived so off to the firts coffee house we could find where we were greated with good coffee and a big smile.
Walking along the seaside we marvel at the beautiful mountains on the horizon with brushes of white from the last snows. And in flagrant contrast the stunning Harpa hall.
As the day as been long we head to centre of town with it's colourful houses and finally found a seat to eat at the famous Lebowski bar for a nice and unexpensive burger.
And as everywhere we looked we could see her lingering in the distance we decided to pay a visit to the taller building in the city : Hallgrimskirkja which encompasses all we have seen so far.

Strange and beautiful in a way that seduces us and makes us look for more.
