The big city is Reykjavik<\/strong> – at 200,000 people it is small by world standards but a bustling, thriving<\/strong>, friendly city. If you find a safer city you’ll be lucky. It’s also a party place on the weekends. You may hear people singing on their way home from the bars at 4 or 5am …in an orderly fashion, of course.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The city is clean, colourful and is the central hub<\/strong> of the booming commercial economy. Fishing, tourism, shipping and oil all work through the port city.<\/p>\n


\nColourful houses – Reykjavik<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The city has a popular beach<\/strong> – Nauth\u00f3lsv\u00edk<\/a> – nestled close to the city centre where people lounge on the golden Moroccan sand<\/strong> – yes, imported – and swim<\/strong> in the thermally fed North Atlantic \/ Arctic ocean. It’s packed when the weather is fine! It was close to 30C (a scorcher for Iceland) this day:<\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/strong><\/p>\n
