There's no room for nostalgia about Spanish coffee here - in Iceland coffee is a professional affair, and so is café life. We are "adapting" well to Icelandic café culture and hours. ;-) We love breakfast out, which doesn't happen until at least 11, and to accompany the delicious coffee there are lots of yummy pastries to try. The pic below is at Kaffi Mokka, Rekjavík's oldest coffee shop, very cosy 50s-decor.One of the most peculiar things about the cafés is their Jeykll and Hyde character on the weekend.. by day people hang out there, chatting, working on their laptops and drinking coffee, obviously, in fact some seem to spend more time at the café than at home, but by night the tables are cleared away, the DJ appears and they are transformed in tiny dance clubs, and go on until 5 in the morning or so. No wonder they don't start serving breakfast until 11!
So have you been partying? How much is a beer - I have no idea what the exchange rate is, so these prices in Kroner mean nothing to me...
ResponderEliminarHi T, well we're not going OTT but we went out last Friday, which is the big night out here. In my limited experience I'd definitely say the fame of Reykjavik as party capital is justified!
ResponderEliminarA Krona is more or less worth what the peseta was, i.e. 6 € = 1,000 krona.. is a bit pricey but no more than the UK I think. Hope you're still enjoying summer and babe's education is going to plan!
