Last day is a pack up and wander day. Sorted a pickup for 7am tomorrow and a packed lunch type breakfast for 6.30am then out round the town one last time. By the time we got out and up near the main church in Reykjavik it was lunch time all ready.
Hmmm....looks like Harry Potter's been scooping water out of this 😉
Lunch was at cafe Loki. Very popular traditional Icelandic place. I went for the meat soup as they call it; lamb veg chunky. Very nice with a slice of rye bread on the side with lamb pâté.
Jill being Jill went for a mixed plate of tradition stuff.
Dried fish pieces that you cover in butter (really nice), smoked trout on rye bread, smoked lamb on rye, and warm mashed fish (fish, mash, butter) on rye. All very good apparently... then ....in the little dish; the infamous fermented shark.
......Hákarl is a national dish of Iceland consisting of a Greenland shark or other sleeper shark which has been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung to dry for four to five months. It has a strong ammonia-rich smell and fishy taste, making hákarl an acquired taste.
Acquired taste 😵😵😵 ...smelt like an old nappy bucket 🤢
The plan was to go down to the Whale museum and a walk round a coast guard ship famous from the Cod wars but Jill spotted a tattoo shop and wanted something Icelandic/Viking.
Next it was down to the Bryggjan brewery to see what they had to offer. Being happy hour (3 - 7pm) it was 2 for one on any of the 9 beers they brew. Started off with the Red beer when onto the Wheat beer then ....
