"Sharrie's Reykjavik 1st Meeting" Reykjavík Region by Sharrie

Reykjavík Region Travel Guide: 1,524 reviews and 3,959 photos

REYKJAVIK is the capital of Iceland. It is home to almost 39% of Icelander. It is also where I initiated & organised the first Iceland VT meeting with both Ann (Annk) & Bjorgvin (Bjorgvin; & I've to learn how to pronounce that name ;-)) Hurray!!!

My first impression: Reykjavik is VERY peaceful! Although there were many cars parked along the streets, we hardly saw anyone walking around in the city center! It was very unusual for me to see the capital of a country with hardly anyone around; especially I had been visiting Chinese cities in the last few months! What a contrast! Having said that, Reykjavik is really charming!

I absolutely LOVED Reykjavík! Such a difference indeed - even to Dublin! You saw it in the lights of summer; I was there in the depths of winter. Still good tho :-)
