Adventure Culinary Travel
Our evening in Reykjavik, where “night” is a title only! We watch as the hours creep later and later, with the sun still shining bright in the sky. We visit the Grótta Island Lighthouse and go shell hunting on the beach, reflect on social differences at a geothermal beach, then head to Laugavegur for a “night” at the pub!

We stop for a bit before heading down to the water to see the Sun Voyager, a famous and amazing sculpture celebrating the island’s Viking roots!
