Catching up….Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle Tour, Street Art and Learning Icelandic. The grocery store in Rekyjavik is called Bonus.

Great cereal choices…Unlike the choices in London. …

A couple cupcakes from Lola’s (www.lolas-kitchen.co.uk/) and a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2010 (which I know my Dad loves). The cupcakes are strawberry, rocky road, peanut butter & coconut. …
