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. Iceland uses the standard European phone network, GSM, except in remote areas, where NMT was used and GSM was useless. After taking care of this, he taxied back to the guesthouse for the night.Læs mere
