Iceland: REYKJAVIK - OLD HARBOUR


The Harbour  is just a handy short distance away from downtown or Harpa. There is not much here for me to talk about - the photos are quite self-explanatory. 
It is a pleasant walk and a great way to finish off the tour of the city.






 





Whale hunting is a thorn between Iceland and EU community. It was closed and then opened again, much to the protests from all over the world. We had seen the whale meet on the menu - and refused to order .... . 




We are planning the whale watching trip later on, during the second part of our trip. 





Hungry after the long day?

There is a famous place visited by many - we had been told ....








It is located near the harbour (or harbor) and one can get a good fill here; excellent fish'n chips and a beer for a goot price.  










Now it is time to leave the city and set out for ÞINGVELLIR NATIONAL PARK.

Oh - and that strange letter "Þ" ? We have been told to pronounce it as "th" like in the "the". 
One can get away with substitution for a "P" when searching the internet.
