Friday, May 15 – Eric had gotten home late last night and Christi hadn’t slept well, so both of them had a hard time getting up this morning. After getting ready to go, the three of us walked downtown to the restaurant that Christi and Keith had tried to find yesterday<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning was warmer than it had been yesterday, and we were also feeling more acclimated to the weather. Yesterday, it was too cold for Christi to take her gloves off to snap photos as she walked, but today, she was able to do so. Yesterday, Christi had also been more focused on where we were going that on surroundings, and today she enjoyed the scenery more. Here were some photos of the walk from The Grandi Hotel<\/a> to Baka Baka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grandi was located on the edge between the residential part of downtown and Grandi Harbor.<\/a> Here were the residential homes we passed. There was a mix of individual houses, row homes and a few multi-family units. The majority of the homes were the stereotypical traditional Icelandic style, made of brightly painted corrugated metal with steeply slanted metal roofs. Many had gingerbread trim and were adorable. Most looked historic, and most were well-maintained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the edge between the residential and the commercial section. In the heart of the commercial section there quite a few large buildings that looked relatively new in between historic looking older buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, Christi and Keith stopped at the square along the main road,<\/a> believing Baka Baka was in the square. It turned out to be on the other side of the main road. Oops!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back at the side of the street that Christi and Keith had been wandering around yesterday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast was good. We all had a traditional meal of eggs, bacon and toast. While the regular pork bacon was thick and good, it wasn’t as good as yesterday’s lamb bacon <\/a>had been. The lattes had the same magical creamy milk<\/a> that the other restaurants<\/a> used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast, we all walked over to the Harpa<\/a>. Eric went into the conference. Christi and Keith got onto one of the two small busses that were waiting to take them on their Golden Circle tour. Here was a shot of the Harpa from another angle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
