Day 2 in Reykjavik, to be continued
Much of our second day was spent sightseeing, visiting monuments, and going to museums. We decided to buy the two day museum pass from the National Museum which allowed us to visit as many museums as we could in the city during the stipulated time period. The price of the ticket per person was quite steep but we got our money's worth, way more.
The National Museum was the very first museum we visited in Reykjavik. It was close to the Bus Station we were dropped at coming from the airport two days earlier. We got there first thing in the morning of our second full day. We got there early. In fact, we were the first ones to arrive. We waited no more than 20 minutes before we were allowed to enter. I remember needing to piss but there was no place to go. You can just imagine how hard it was to hold everything in when in fact I was just about to explode. I was rather surprised at the size of the entire museum. Although the exhibits and galleries spanned a several floors, the entire museum wasn't really big. We were done viewing everything within an hour.
The main reason why we were able to visit lots of museums during our stay was because Icelandic museums were not big at all. In fact, each one could be seen in an hour and that's even at leisure.
There was a wing devoted to the pictures taken by a famous Icelandic photographer. This picture was one of the many taken by this famous artist whose name I can no longer recall.
Here's another of the beautiful pictures taken by the same Icelandic photographer.
One of the books inside the gift shop of the National Museum which caught my attention. I wanted to buy it but I was really worried about the weight. My backpack was already very heavy for me to carry.
The Maritime Museum was the third museum we visited during our whirlwind tour of Icelandic museums in Reykjavik. This place too was not very big. We were there only an hour.
