Day 1 (April 21st): We did some walking towards Hallgrimskirkja church and along the shopping streets from along there where I made a few small purchases. There was definitely plenty of wind to be had and the temps were cold - but on check ins online we noted temps colder here in Jingletown at points in the week, so, I'll take it.

By the time we were ready for dinner, after a bit of looking around we decided on Cafe Paris where we grubbed lightly. Meh, nothing remarkable here. That evening we sat at the lounge downstairs and had a few drinks including a shot of their signature liquor - Brennivin - also referred to as "Black Death". Potato mash and caraway seeds fermented tasks quite like black death indeed. I also had a mixed drink that was quite delightful and had chili infused vodka in it. I'm not big on spice, but this was just right and mixed up wonderfully!

It is an Easter trip, so lots of things were, as expected, closed, but there were many still shops and places open.
