Finally having recovered from Jet Lag, I could enjoy Reykjavik and be coherent for our meeting with the lovely people in City Hall. The whole day was a complete Icelandic experience. We ate some Pylsur, hot dogs, from the famous stand, had more wonderful strong coffee, and ended up in a drunken experience at, Hlemmur, the Bus Station.
“Tjörnin (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈtʰjœ(r)tnɪn], The Pond) is a prominent small lake in central Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. Most visitors to the city pass along its shore, as it is situated in the city centre next to the Reykjavik City Hall and several museums. Tjörnin means “the lake” or “the pond”. Tarn, meaning “mountain lake”, is a northern English dialect word derived from the Norse word tjörn and its genitive/plural tjarnar. Bird feeding on the lake shore, a popular pastime, has led to the lake being called “the biggest bread soup in the world” (stærsta brauðsúpa í heimi)[citation needed]. Tjörnin was the setting for scenes in the 2010 Icelandic movie Gauragangur.” from Wikipedia
Hilmar Magnússon, Sigrún Sandra Ólafsdóttir, and Elsa Yeoman all met with us to discuss connections between Winnipeg and Reykjavik.
