Ports of Call
Reykjavik (Days 1, 2, 8)
According to legend, Ingolfur Arnarson threw pillars engraved with images of pagan gods overboard from his Viking ship, vowing to settle wherever the pillars washed ashore. They landed at Smoky Bay where the first settlement of Reykjavik was established around 870 AD. The name Reykjavik, or "Smoky Bay," refers to the numerous geysers emanating from the thermal springs beneath the capital. Today, Reykjavik is a modern city but its past is preserved at many fine museums including the Arbaejarsafn.
A trip to Reykjavík would not be complete without a trip to the pools, which are open all year round. The best time of the day to go is definitely in the early morning (between 7 and 8 o'clock), when people gather before going to work to discuss current events. There's no better way to check the pulse of the city and to hear some gossip while you're at it.

Akureyri (Day 4)
