Day 3 Exploring Rek

Day 3 we had nothing specific planned, but still managed to fill the day.  :-)  We ventured to the flea market, where we both got some "famous" Icelandic sweaters.  Then we did a free tour of Reykjavik (which we referred to as Rek whenever we e-mailed each other when planning the trip).  The tour was interesting.  Following the tour, it took some doing, but we managed to find a museum that had a lot of interesting info about Iceland.  Since it was Sunday, the museum wasn't opened very late so we only had about an hour to spend there.  I enjoyed the museum though.  After that we walked around a little bit, then headed to Halgrim's Church. 


We couldn't go into the church part because there was a religious concert of some sort going on, but we were able to go to the top of the church and enjoy some scenic views, which are what you see here. 





After that, my friend made a new friend from the cat family.  Yep, she met a cat as we were headed back toward the hotel and had fun playing with it.  I'm allergic so I didn't have as much fun.
 :-p  We shopped a little, walked around a little, then my friend ordered a "famous" Icelandic hotdog.  Apparently, the place where she got it has the world's second best hotdog (I don't know who has the best).  We walked around a little more then had some dinner.  We even splruged and got fancy-looking desserts.  Then it was back to the hotel as we had an early morning the next day.
