    Have you ever visited Iceland, is it on your bucket list? Hubby and I were in Iceland for 5 days and I had a day and a half completely solo to explore Reykjavik, woo hoo! This was our first visit to Iceland, visiting in late spring, May 2022. Grab your raincoat, gloves, sunglasses and sunscreen for a lightning tour! Rainbow Street, Hallgrimskirkja church, the Grandi Mathöll harbour food hall, Bastard Brew for dinner, Reykjavik nightlife, jazz at Rúblan bókakaffi (bar and bookstore)! See more of my Iceland travel here! Including my solo afternoon at the fabulous hot geothermal spa "Sky Lagoon" and the magnificent Gullfoss Falls! czcams.com/play/PLxIYCyTLBED9q_vf2DVjqJ8m3evuFjG58.html

    Wow, this video made me so nostalgic! 5 years ago I went there with my son and his boychoir. He performed at many venues but my favorite was when my son sang the spiritual, Amazing Grace, as a solo in Hallgrímskirkja. Thank you for sharing your one day with us, and bringing this memory to mind.

    Diane, now I really understand routines. My husband is in the hospital and I’m just all confused without him around. Yesterday, I forgot to do my physical therapy exercise and my meditations.

    Your fellow Scotsman, Craig Ferguson used to quiz his guests on his late night show here in the States. And because he said it every night for about a year, I will always remember the capital of Iceland. He'd start every question with the same statement about Iceland followed by a non sequitur. "Iceland is in the North Atlantic. It's capital is Reykjavik. What is the name of the male lead character in the movie 'Titanic'?"
    Thanks for showing us around the place. Love the buildings.
