Dinner and Church.

When out to dinner at Skalholt, a community initially established in the 11th century. Skalholt was one of the most important places in Iceland for 8 centuries. Now just very small religious center for the Church of Iceland. The current “cathedral” was built in 1950’s but there is a priest buried in the basement from the 15th century. They are doing a lot of archaeological studies in the area. Next to the beautiful church there are dormitories, cottages and the wonderful restaurant we ate at. We were the only dinners for most of the time. Food was great, but most interesting to Les was a very old looking building next to the church. Unfortunately, the light was already gone, so we will have to come back to the photograph it in the next few days.Read more
