Just back from Reykjavik

My adult children and I travelled to Iceland to see the eclipse from Reykjavik and to enjoy the city on our own by walking, exploring, and eating. We had a wonderful stay, and I cannot recommend highly enough giving this city a few days to reveal its magic to you. We stayed at Hotel Von on Laugavegur, and loved its proximity to everything. I am 68 years old with cranky knees, but I was able to make my way around town on foot with the assistance of hiking poles (rented from Iceland Cover). We walked to an eclipse viewing spot on Ægisíða and took in a cloudy, but amazing eclipse experience with hundreds of locals. We ate at delicious restaurants and snacked upon goodies from Bonus and Kronan. I could write pages about how amazing our trip was, but I will leave it here and post some photos. I think I am going to have to return some day ❤️🇮🇸

Soaking at the end of the world. Bye bye Reykjavik.

Long shot, but let's see how powerful the internet is (lost item)

I am currently heading back home after an amazing trip to Iceland where I attended the Eclipse festival featuring Björk, and then proceeded to drive just shy of 2000km around the island. I have so many happy memories that will live with me forever, but unfortunately, on my penultimate evening (Aug 16), I lost my DJI Pocket 3 video camera I'm Husavik. I know this is a Reykjavik group, but there is not a similar one for Husavik, so I figured why not post here and hope against all hope. I believe I left my camera next to one of the goals at Volsungur's football field. I was walking into town from my campsite and saw there was a ball and an open field and I could resist taking a few penalty shots. I asked if it had been turned in at the Volsungur office, the campsite adjacent to the field, and the local police station, but nothing by the time I had to leave.

So this is my last resort. Even if there is a 0.0001% chance someone reading this hears about a DJI Pocket 3 being found in Husavik, could you please message me. I'd love to recover all the amazing videos that I took with the camera.

Thank you Iceland for being amazing. I will be back, and next time I won't be as irresponsible with my camera.

Where can I find some extra weekend and evening work?

I work in construction by day (mainly as a carpenter) & could do with a little extra work in the coming weeks, but don't know where to find something.

Are there any facebook groups or anything (I don't use facebook much these days)? Or does anyone here know anyone who might need a hand?

I'm 47m from the UK originally. My Icelandic is poor I'm afraid (hence leaving this in English as I'd hate for someone to think I can speak Icelandic & that be an issue).

I have a car & tools (drills, circular saw, multitool, etc) & am not fussy about what kind of work it is - building a deck, tearing out a kitchen, putting some furniture together, moving house, fixing a car, etc

I live in Hafnarfjörður, but it would be no problem going anywhere in Reykjavík as long as it is a solid couple of hours work.

Many thanks.

Calling anyone near the domestic airport

My girlfriend lost her hand knitted mitt today when we left the airport (most likely). We are leaving for Germany extremely early tomorrow. Is there any chance someone nearby could go look for it, and we find some way to get it to her?

In town for 10 days, looking for odd jobs!

Hey everyone! I’m traveling into town for the week until the 19th. I’m really looking forward to seeing the country and am super open to any recommendations anyone has as well.

But to get into it, I’m traveling with some friends until Friday, then they leave and I’ll be solo. I’m not too sure where I’ll be staying or my plans thereafter but I’d reallyyy love to work some odd jobs and serve the community. I’m 25 year old guy coming from Brooklyn and have some idyllic idea of working on the docks or helping out on fishing boats. Would love some kind of workaway situation where I work for housing but open to just doing work too. I also am a photographer and would love to take pictures of people at work so yeah that’d be sort of it too if that’s cool.

We are on our way to Reykjavik this week and I'd love to see some of Iceland's local art and hopefully purchase a painting or print to bring home.

We will in Reykjavik for 4 days and Akureyri for 4 days. Can anyone recommend some for me?

Thanks!
