View from one of the three balconies our rented apartment had. The church is the Hallgrimmskirkja - Iceland's Lutheran Cathedral.
Yup, Iceland's weather could not have been kinder to us during our stay - the skies were pretty much always blue with the sun shining and only the briefest of rain showers one evening. We strolled around in short-sleeve T-shirts and ate al-fresco one lunchtime in sun that was almost too hot to sit in.
The sun finally setting briefly at about midnight. The view is from the balcony at the front of the apartment which looked out towards the harbour and distant snow-covered mountains.
There was much sightseeing and wool shopping and eating of delicious vegetarian meals, amongst other things. The daylight was 24 hours (quite strange I have to admit) and it all seemed to have passed by in a haze of happy memories. Oh, and I even found a charity shop!! I'm pretty tired today so will just post a few photos of our trip but be warned there will be many more photos to come.
One of the very traditional corrugated iron-clad houses. These all seem to be painted in really vibrant colours with window and door frames painted in contrasting and / or clashing colours. This beauty was just along the road from where we were staying.
It all looks very colourful. Looking forward to viewing your other pics.
Love from Mum

Looking forward to hearing about Iceland. Who would have thought it would be so hot?
