There are far too few places in this world where one can enjoy a candlelit breakfast, whilst watching the sun rise at 11:15. Who the hell needs daylight, anyway?
I bought two albums by Ragnheiður Gröndal today, after listening to them in the very relaxed surroundings of the 12 Tonar record shop on Skólavördustígur. They let you sit down on these big couches, pour you a cup of fabulous espresso, and give you a personal CD player to listen to anything in the shop for as long as you like. If more towns had old-school record shops and service like this, we wouldn’t all be buying on-line at Amazon these days. I just wish I had more time to hang out there, but with a little girl in tow…
We spent a king’s ransom at 66° North today, but Eloïse now has a very nice jumpsuit as a result. The shop has moved since the last time we were here, and is now located on Laugavegur.
No plan for tomorrow yet. Eloïse is a bit under the weather again, so we’ll have to wait and see.
