ICELAND.
But before I got there I remembered what Dr. K suggested.
Gordon's from a Duty-Free shop in Newark.
Doc, you were right. The booze, the coffee, the food and everything else is expensive here.
Now for some sight-seeing, while waiting for my room to be ready.
Someone's garden, just outside downtown Reykjavik.
A most unusual (modern) church. Hallgrimskirkja.
A statue in front of the Church-no one I asked could tell me who he was.
A sandwich shop.
The Hallgrimskirkja from a different angle.
The window of JS Watch Co., Iceland's only watchmaker.
And the smallest shop in the world! We'll see in the next day or two.
My ww.tc. set to local time. Azores, even though they are a billion-gazillion miles away.
A coffee shop.

I saw nothing around town yet that would suggest anyone here had any idea that the National Team made it to the quarter-finals of the Euros back in July. I'll keep looking.

Great and engaging photo report.....
...this is the first time ever I see picture from Iceland with trees and grass. Most of the time just geysers. I think there is more grass for their soccer stadiums? I hope you see some. Thank you for sharing Padj. Edward
I saw it on a chalkboard.
In a guide I was reading it was pointed out that many people who order it never get to taste it once they smell it!
Rich, you say?!
Richly putrid, I hear; thus earning its name. I don't see me trying it.
I did not get to try it myself back in the day, so all theoretical :)
But I do see where you are coming from
Superb postcards, my friend. The GP WW TC seems like it is at home...
Which is normal, as the world is its house. Enjoy, Nicolas
Enjoy!
Would love to visit it myself. Very interesting island. Don\'t forget to take a ride in those monster jeeps! (don\'t know who that dude is btw) ...
I saw on the plane TV they have a journey to the center of the volcano, sounds like fun.
And...they seem to party a lot Rgds Raymond
An interesting place to visit!
A bit off the beaten track but probably more satisfying. Is this your first time there? Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks Padj and enjoy your trip. fernando
I landed here twice in 1972, going to and coming from Europe.
This is my first visit outside the airport. I'll be posting again late this afternoon. Thanks, Fernando.
