Today we left for the airport for a domestic flight to Reykjavík. There was no security screening that I noticed. We had to wait a while; the flight was an hour and 40 minutes late. Upon reaching Reykjavík, we had lunch and then visited the Perlan nature museum. Later we did a tour around old town Reykjavík. As with Akureyri, buildings are heated with geothermal energy, and some of the streets are also heated to melt snow and ice.

After the introduction to Reykjavík, I had some time to explore on my own. Taste of Iceland is a tourist shop that I knew had some chocolates from Neskja. They also had some bonbons/pralines from another company, but those were covered and not for sale because they had been sitting too long.

From the exhibit: Water tigers catch their prey, bite it with strong jaws, inject it with a compound that paralyses and dissolves it, and then suck up the liquid.

I saw felted soap in multiple places. It is wrapped in wool said to act like a natural exfoliant. I think it is largely sold to tourists.
