冰島是離家最遠的一次旅行。九月下旬冰島未轉冷,市中心溫度大約在12-16度之間,還是夏天的尾巴。好吧,出發了。
Hong Kong is around 9516 km away from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. This is the longest long haul flight we had taken so far. Here we go our 1st nordic trip by the end of Sep 2019.

在首都Raykjavik作落腳點。市中心像一般歐洲小鎮,遊客區集中在數條街,步行可到達最熱鬧的購物街、超市和食店。若想享受片刻寧靜,轉入小街閒逛簡潔的街道便好了。大部份店舖接受電子付款,不攜帶現金是可行的。

食物方面,我家大爺忘不了的是魚。這裡最常捕獲的是Cod fish;這魚在大西洋冰冷又深的海域才找到。肉質結實重油香。我家大爺也愛猫,大家都愛吃魚。
My hobby like eating fishes and here in Iceland is at a right place. Cod fish is plenty in supply and it is commonly used in Iceland dishes. The texture is not too soft, oily but not greasy, we like it.
冰島賞過的摩卡、黑朱古力和咖啡非常美味,是優良水質和新鮮牛奶幫了忙,還是他們調配技巧高超呢?這個農場 (Lely)在黃金圈附近,離市中心一點距離,她的雪糕超好味滑香不太甜,光速被我吃掉了沒有機會拍攝。補充了體力繼續步行。
Dark chocolate, mocha and coffee made in Iceland are excellent. They are the best I had ever tasted. The farm we visited Lely is at Golden Circle, a bit away from Reykjavik. The ice-cream over there is a must try dessert and this message is cool ” Life is short - eat dessert first! "

冰島特色建築物也不少,這些是在市中心能步行到訪的。這Hallgrimskirkja教堂,機乎在市中心每一處也可以看見她,登上頂層的觀景台,整個城市盡收眼底。

在市政廳前門玻璃上的冰島文字外形好看又有趣,很想知道寫著什麼。找著作者Tómas Guðmundsson 的名字翻查資料,原來他是位冰島詩人,很好奇這作品「Junimorgunn」內容說什麼呢?找方法把文字打了出來,再用Google翻譯知道了答案。這是我的理解:他在讚美雨水落在花兒上的美態,歌頌大自然、雨水、陽光、月色銀光變幻的常態讓生命生生不息地循環。感謝上天創造這個美麗世界,讓冰島和這個城市融合其中。
The Icelandic character looks special and laying on the window beautifully in translucent. I don’t know Iceland language but I really interest to know what is it telling.

Tjörnin 市中心內最大的湖。一家大細一起沿湖邊散步餵鴨子,是很普遍的消閒活動。幸運的話,這裡是市中心能看見極光的好地方。用步行方式遊覽市中心主要景點很舒適愉快。冰島的大自然、風景地貌才是主菜,下篇待續。
