I’m never quite sure what day or what time it is anymore. I keep staying up very late since it isn’t so late back home. At least I can catch up on some reading. Not that Icelandic TV isn’t interesting but the shows are for the most part the same ones from home plus British and German shows. The commercials are perhaps more interesting at first. It is very quiet late at night so reading is a good thing even while on vacation.
It is still raining so I visited a mall. I won’t go near the malls back home but let’s go see what they are like here. Not that different from any malls anywhere except for the store names. And no problem finding WiFI internet for a quick check of the email. Of course I had to visit 66′ North and see all the distinctive clothing. But I didn’t find the pancake pan that I’m looking for. Italian made pans can be had anywhere so I’m after the famous Islenskar Ponnukokur.
I’ve heard about the baby carriages parked outside the small shops and indeed I saw several. Of course back home that would be considered abuse but with such a low crime rate you can see several parked outside the window and the moms on the other side having a coffee.
I think that tonight I’ll visit one of the smaller pools and see how it is at night in the rain. It should be fun.
I have my own Ponnukokur pan, but it was a gift from my Icelandic Mom-in-Law. She got it in Iceland but I have no idea where. Have you tried the ‘Smáralind’ mall (forgive me, but I only know it by the name of the Penis Mall) in Kopevogar? There is a shop in there which deals in kitchen ware.
Have you seen the Blue Lagoon yet?
