Once in the car with Sigga we were off to the Pearl, a restaurant, museum, and hot water storage tank. Unfortunately we got there before it opened. Instead of standing around and waiting we went out for the famous Icelandic hotdog. Sigga said they are heated in beer thats why they are so good. After two hotdogs and a short walk to the bank we went across the street to the Hapra concert hall, one of the most bizarre buildings I have ever seen. It is built with clear and colored glass polygons, which makes for an interesting show of colors when the sun shines through.
After this it was time to head back the Pearl to check out the view from the observation deck. Up three flights of stairs and atop a mountain it offers an excellent view of the city.
Our last stop in Reykjavik was the cathedral Hallgrímskirkja. A Lutheran church boasting a 244ft tower and organ with 5275 pipes. We took the elevator up 7 levels and two more flights of stairs to the top for another spectacular view of the city.
