Reykjavik

[mrph]

Well, made it here in one piece. It's actually warmer than Coventry at the moment, if you believe the weather reports...

(although this will change later in the day...)

Today will mostly be ambling and shopping. Currently sitting in the Cafe Loki with souldier_blue, making plans...

And yes, the Hallgrimskirkja is beautiful - but mostly wrapped in scaffolding at the moment. Apparently the same architect did another, similar, church in Iceland's second city - using stained glass gifted by Coventry cathedral just before it was bombed...

Unlikely to get there this trip, though...

Not sure why - maybe just because it was a new church (It was only built in 1940) and they wanted the glass to go somewhere. And from what I remember, Britain occupied Iceland during 1940-1941.
