Nice multipurpose headgear, mine is from "66 North".
I went to bed at 23:00 yesterday so I woke up really early today.
Walked to Kaffitár bought coffee and croissants for breakfast and watched Reykjavik come to life in the early morning hours. Now I know how the town can look so clean even though the Rekjavikans party that hard :). Every Saturday morning the streets are just cleaned and the trash removed.
Went to Skeifan, with one of my colleagues from CPP. Skeifan is an area with lot's of shops (not a mall). There his a massive 66 North store as well as bicycle shops and electronic stores. Good place to shop when the weather is good. It takes about 40 min to walk there, from where I live, and the weather was great today, so it was a really nice trip.

Good week so far.
Back from a nice dinner with one of my colleagues.
Went to check out the best Thai place in Reykjavik, then off to Kafibaren, which gets amazingly crowded over weekends and apparently is the place to hang out.
It has been a good week so far. Things are happening at a nice pace at work and I am really enjoying myself. I am also imensley happy with having found a bigger place to live.
I think I'll aim at chasing down the Aurora Borealis this weekend. Conditions are perfect at the moment and almost every night there has been northern lights over Reykjavik, one CCP'er captured this:

Pictures from the weekend trip
Went on a really cool trip with some of my fellow CCP'ers last Saturday.
Got a chance to enjoy some of Iceland's amazing nature for the first time.
Gullfoss waterfall
Cool rocks near the geysers we saw.
Geyser.
Thermal power plant! how cool is that :)

Bolludagur
The equivalent of Danish "Fastelavn" is called "Bolludagur" in Iceland.
It is an event held before Ash Wednesday , were you traditionally consume delicious creme buns like the one shown on the picture beneath.
Kids also dress up in costumes and sing to get candy.
Yesterday was Bolludagur and CCP had generous offerings of creme buns available.
Today was the dress up day and singing in reception earned you various pieces of candy.

Back from a great trip to Copenhagen
Hectic but great weekend in Copenhagen, but it was also good to see beautiful Reykjavik again when I returned Sunday.
Friday.
Got up too late, went to work for 3 hours before heading to the airport. The flight to Denmark was amazing, I got a window seat and with no cloud in sight, I was treated to one spectacular view of the incredible Icelandic nature. Copenhagen on the other hand was covered in clouds and gray snow, so only when I reached the outskirts, could I enjoy the snow covered scenery.
My husband and I went to town on the take away sushi, got the best combo called the "Score Menu" bought sake and some Japanese beer too, then after having dined we packed the last of the items in our old flat.
Saturday.
Up at 0800. Fresh bread from the baker, yum. 0900 the movers arrived sharp, with a massive truck, and 4 incredibly helpful guys, who managed to move all our furniture, as well as the massive trash pile, in roughly 5 hours. Fantastic job!
Here are some shots from Thomas' new apartment, in of the "tower" @ Bispebjerg Bakke:
Bedroom will be in an awesome circular room:
All the furniture from 3 balconies now compiled on 1 for the time being:
Couch & tv area:
Amazing how much stuff one can accumulate, half of this is my stuff as well:
This will be the dining area:
A look down the entire length of the apartment:
My trip to Copenhagen actually coincided with the Danish qualification round for the Eurovision Song Contest, or as we have always called it in Denmark Melodi Grand Prix. Now I won't call my self a Eurovision Song Contest fan, I detested the show for many years, because Denmark was so ahmm crap, however, there has always been a certain nostalgic fascination connected to the show, which had it's golden days in the 80's. But hey you are in Denmark and the competition for the Danish song is on, you have to watch it. So did the best song win...hmmm, I don't think so.
I must admit I liked no 10.
Sunday.
Up early to fill the empty suitcase I brought with me. Finding time to call my parents and also to relax a bit and enjoy a nice breakfast with my husband before heading back to Iceland at 13:20.
Hectic but fun.
Oh and also adding a new Whiskey to the collection.

Copenhagen tomorrow
I'm flying back to Copenhagen tomorrow, to help my husband pack and move to a new apartment.
Going to work early and leaving at noon to catch the plane from Keflavik at 14:15.
Bags are packed, tickets paid, so now it is just to kick back and relax.
It has been a great week so far at CCP, so nothing like a good ending to it by spending time with the hubby.
