Iceland - A very short vist to the Icelandic Wartime Museum




Gosh I could imagine living in this apartment. It’s so stylish and modern. The roomba robot scares me a bit though. We have to be out by 11am because that’s when the robot starts up. Our beautiful view from the living room has disappeared and is covered in mist. We spent the morning chasing Reyka around the apartment as she amused herself by pulling off all the paper from the toilet roll.

After her morning nap we ventured a few fjords over to Neskaupstaour to the local swimming pool. It’s an outdoor pool with a stunning mountain view. Alas we had to imagine the view because it was covered in the mist. We first ventured into the large pool which was 27 degrees but left when Reyka’s lips started to go blue. The baby pool was perfect at 38 degrees.

Back to the apartment for a lunch stop and then onto our next stop which was on foot - to the Icelandic wartime museum. It was just at the end of the street. We hoped Reyka would sleep but nope, instead she cried and cried and cried. I listened to a bit of the audio guide but then we had to lead. The British occupied Iceland during the Second World War and had a base here. A few of the Nissen huts remain.
