Kringlan Mall

Kringlan, Reykjavík’s biggest shopping centre, 1km from town, has more than 130 shops. It contained big-name clothing chains, home-furnishing outlets, an alcohol shop, banks, a food court and a cinema. He ate unhealthy but filling American-style fast food at the food court (Ikr 500) and bought some things, including a well-made woolen sweater for his mom and a heavier, rainproof jacket for himself at the store called 66° North. While there, he bought a local prepaid SIM card for his cell phone, which allowed him to make calls at local rates. It cost Ikr 2500, which included Ikr 2000 worth of free call credit.
