Our Iceland adventures get off to a slow start as we check out some fresh hot springs around the town of Hveragerði before exploring the capital of Reykjavík. We view some modern architecture, catch a cultural comedy show, see a church straight out of Middle Earth and eat one of Iceland’s famous hot dogs.
Also, Amanda hopes that her cold will clear up so she too can be assaulted with a terrible smell.
hah @ bad smells and colds… I’ve been sick for 50% of the last 2 months straight (Amanda you’d be happy you’re not being assaulted with my constant eucalyptus smells, Charmaine thinks she’s getting used to it)… I now know what it is like to live with poor sense of smell… it’s both pleasant and unnerving for me… once I actually do smell something, eg the compost, I wonder how long i’ve been breathing in bad smell for, ick! I would love to see/bathe in natural hot springs one day… but maybe I should do it when sick?
oh also that building is freaking gorgeous! I’m definitely going there – and I think the church looks more like something from Dr Who.. but let’s face it.. I’ve hit crazy obsessed stage right now so can relate nearly EVERYTHING to it. 😉
Ha, yeah, definitely one of the more interesting buildings in Reykjavik. Although now I’m wishing we’d made it to the penis museum. Would’ve made this video more interesting!
The Harpa building was really great, such unique and beautiful architecture. I would be hanging out there often if I lived in Reykjavík.
I am disappoint that you did not play the pipe organ.
I am not made for playing pipe organs:(.
It would have been LOUD, considering how quiet (and huge) the church is. Would have been fun to bust out a little chopsticks or something though. 😉
More Iceland please, have read Amanda’s take on it and it was fascinating, it seems to be a place that divides visitors, keen to hear your take on it.
Heh, hopefully the next one will have a bit more scenery! In some ways it’s a hard place to convey through a small screen. Everything there is on a such a big scale.
Thanks! The scenery will do the talking – it was stunning! Next couple of videos have more of that, so let me know what you think of those when they’re posted. 🙂
