Hallgrimskirche is this big cool cathedral in Reykjavik which we visited in the last full day we had to walk around.
It is a lot like Grundtvik’s Church…I preferred Grundtivik’s.
On the last day we walked to this church, down around the old harbour, to the lake and then to the 871±2 Settlement Exhibition. The 871±2 exhibition is pretty cool. In 2001 an excavation found a Viking longhouse. Because of a layer of volcanic ash found above the house, the construction date of the house was pinpointed to 871±2. So the exhibition is (literally) centred around this longhouse with all kinds of other Viking and establishment-of-Iceland exhibits. The next day we wake early and drive to the airport, by 11am we’re in London. Summary of Iceland: freezing, windy, incredible, wild. Will return.
