Reykjavik City tour

We got up early and took the expensive (£10 each) port shuttle into the city of Reykjavik to walk around the compact central area. Dropped off at the ultra modern concert hall, then walked over to the nearby founders statue, then up rainbow street to the dramatic futuristic  cathedral, bakery/coffee house and finally the Viking sun voyager boat sculpture. The cinnamon bun at the bakery was awesome. A quick shop for chocolate and fridge magnets then we caught the last shuttle back to port and sailed away at 11:30am. Perfect blue skies again for relaxing round the pool where the Pina Colada and Mudslide cocktails from the pool bar were awesome.  We were tempted to have a pre-lunch burger from the mast grill. Did some relaxing whale watching in the sun on the balcony till we turned south, no whales spotted. Lots of steam jets were visible on the very volcanicaly active Reykjavik peninsular, where the blue lagoon is located, but no sign of smoke from the lava fields. Dinner was taken in the Sea view cafe for a change.
