Reykjavik!

Our flight landed here in Reykjavik at 7 am, by the time we got into town it was about 9:30. We were expecting to have to leave our bags here and hang around for a while but happily our room was ready! The manager said that doesn't happen very often. So we were able to have a nap before we went out exploring. Our place is in the centre of things, very good location and a nice little place. Thank you TripAdvisor. 
Reykjavik is a great city, very picturesque, around here, anyway. Lots and lots of tourists, many bundled up in down jackets and toques, although the temperature is +3 and we are quite comfortable in our jackets. Very expensive, though. Glad we have a place to cook breakfast and make coffee. Looking at restaurant menus, most entrees are around $30-$35 to start.
We went to the big church in picture yesterday, just amazing. There was someone playing the huge pipe organ inside. We took the elevator up to the bell tower to marvel at the views. Interesting how Christianity came to Iceland.
We went to the Iceland National Museum which is very good, spent the whole afternoon there. Iceland has a most interesting history. Then we walked, walked, walked. My knees are holding up not too badly.
Today we go on the Golden Circle tour. Geysers!
