We’re hungry…but not so hungry that we want to go to a fine dining establishment tonight. Plus we have had a full day of sightseeing so we don’t really want to head back into the city center either. What to do? What to do? There is the Pearl observatory right across the street from our hotel. I ask at the front desk and they say, yes, it is an easy 10 minute walk up to the observatory. There is a self-service restaurant open until 9p.m. plus a five-star French gourmet restaurant that revolves on the upper level…and from either dining locale one can enjoy the breathtaking views of…well, Iceland is so flat I think depending on what direction you are looking…you can see the U.K. to the east; and NYC to the west. The locals say if you get lost whilst driving in Iceland just stand up…you’ll find your way. We decide soup and salad will do us just fine so after blow-drying our clothes dry from our days adventure and changing our soaked socks, we prepare ourselves for literally, a walk ...
....where taking the road less traveled IS the goal. The around-the-world travel experiences of Mom Estelle and daughter Estelle...yes, the two Estelles :)
