Iceland 2024: Walking Tour of Reykjavík

No sooner had we arrived in Iceland last week, than we got a peek at Keflavik Airport duty-free Loki and Thor Viking Schnapps:

We stayed for the week at the Hotel Borg. I would stay here again.

Upon our arrival in town on Monday, we had breakfast and took a walking tour of Reykjavík, beginning in the square.
