As soon as the sun was up, I set out walking along the waterfront, then returned to the hostel for breakfast (all locally grown berry jams and fresh baked rustic breads, local fruit and eggs...) which they offered me free of charge as an apology for the mix up with my room. So i didn't end up paying for my accommodation or breakfast, and then they couldn't find my airport shuttle order so they didn't charge me for that either! An inconvenience turned blessing:)
I walked the streets of downtown, got a pastry at a local bakery, then went up in a church tower and got a terrific view over the city before catching a bus out to the Blue Lagoon geothermal springs.
Great Atlantic views- too bad the passing rain and clouds obscured Mt. Esja across the bay in this picture...
