    Walking, No Driving

    September 1, 2022 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    Was strange today not to be packing and heading out early, missing the driving already.

    Spent the day sightseeing, visiting the Lutharian church, the concert hall and the old port which is now a mix of shops, restaurants and bars. So having made the effort to get there it would have been rude not to have tried some happy hour cocktails.

    Got chatting to a local, middle aged guy in one of the bars and after telling him of all the places we'd been to on the trip he said that we'd seen more of Iceland than he had. Later in the conversation I'd said that though we travel a lot I'd never actually been to the British Museum in London. To which he said 'oh I've been there 3 or 4 times'. Interesting how you never have time for stuff on your own door step!
