Amazing what you can find on the beach, however things that wash ashore usually share one of two common features:

1. Being light

2. Being able to float


Therefore this is a rather unusual item to find on the beach, how it got there is anybodies guess.

When I looked back at this picture I was amazed just how cheep the watches look, this is a rather pricey jewelry store in Reykjavik but from the outside looking in this reminds me rather a lot of the MBK mall in Bangkok, cheep and cheerful...

One swipe of the credit card will convince you otherwise though

The weather has been rather freaky as of late. Which is usual for this time of year.

Where the picture is taken the weather is beautiful and full of sun (but cold as hell) but in the distance it is raining. Spectacular right?

One of the things that makes a city a city is its various modes of transportation. Without mass transportation, mass communication and mass resource management modern cities would be not be functional and therefore would not be the preferred way of living.

We will try to uncover the various backbones of Reykjavik, giving you dear reader greater insights into what makes this city tick. Even deeper insight then the average Icelander can ever be bothered to obtain.

Public transport is not big in Iceland, the car is king, there are no trains, limited domestic flights, the odd ferry and buses are there for good measure. It is almost as if busses perform a function only to those who for some reason cannot drive; youth, senior citizens, drunk people and people who’s car wouldn’t start that morning.

This is quite a contrast because the busses that travel the streets of Reykjavik are very cutting edge, from standard diesel- to Methane- and even Hydrogen busses. Let us hope that in time Reykjavik reaches its potential of becoming not only the cleanest but also the worlds first virtually pollution free capital.
