Day 11 Reykjavic part 2

Leaving Dad behind as he wasn’t feeling too great , we marched out the door through the not so busy streets and down the rainbow road, to Hallgrímskirkja church, the countries 6th tallest bulding and tallest church. It towered over the rest of Reykjavic and us at 73 metres high. This church also contained the largest organ in the country having mucisions playing at almost every hour. Ee sat ans listened for a while and then headed back into the main shopping area towards the harbour. We found ourselves in a flea market, where Eashan was immersed and overwhelmed by all the bits and bobs of the number "1 flea market" quoted by Eashan. After not getting anything and a bit of dissappinment from Eashan we wandered towards the famous Concert hall. Harpa, built in 2011 its unique shape and strucure gave its name as one of the best concert halls in the world deserved. Unfortuantly we couldn't get a look in the concerthall but could wander inside the impressive concourse and admire the the stunning views of the lighthouses and floating man-made hill. Tired we trecked on and decided to wait in the queue for BBP hotdog stand, the world famous one. The stand was no bigger than 5 sauare metres and it hasn't moved once since 1937. There was only 1 option of hot dog and you got to choose if you wanted the works ( ketchup, mustard, remoulade, onions ( fried and crispy)… delicious! Only Mum and I could eat them though as there were no veggie options so stopped for pizza for them and some Pad Thai to take home to Dad. We were welcomed back by dad and ate on white , bouji sofas whilst we watched the documentary about Simone Biles. We had SO much room .. and a TV! It was a treat! We had an earlier night then usual due to our early start tomorrow to catch our flight home. Sad times .Read more
