Four Days in Reykjavík, Iceland - A Travel Guide
This is a bit of a first for this channel, it's a travel vlog that is in NO WAY theme park related! Last week Mrs Hakes and I went off to spend four days in Reykjavík, Iceland. It's a wonderful city, and we had an incredible time here. Below is a list of places we went / tour companies we used.
To save messing around with a gimbal and camera for the whole time it was entirely shot on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
Everything went extremely smoothly, from the flights to the transfers and the tours - it was perfect! I'll write up a full post about it all in due course, but for now - here's the vlog.

Our Iceland Vlog Saga Day 2 - Reykjavik Food Walk And Street Art
Day two of our #Iceland Vlogging Saga.
Still cold and plenty of snow on the ground,
Looking at some of the #Reykjavik street art in the city and then it’s on to the Reykjavik Food Walk to get a taste of the local Icelandic cuisine.
???? More Iceland Videos
The actual food tour takes 4 hours so this is just a small sample of the experience. No fermented sharks, that will come a few days later but there is horse on the menu
Thanks to Kjarnan who was our guide on the Food Walk who kept us amused with his anecdotes and detailed description of eating sheep heads.
