Heading over to Reykjavik Segway Tours, we spot some old bikes
Stefán owner and operator of the tour company greets the troops
We get our Segways assigned to us
Down at the harbor, lots to look at while the Segways are being handed out
Patrol vessels ready for Sailor Day activities
Moored in front of Harpa, the concert hall
Lessons completed, we are off, on turtle mode to get used to the ride
We head over to the bike path along the water heading north from the harbor.
We have graduated to high speed mode and our keys are updated to allow us to go full speed
Getting ready to fire a small cannon as part of the Sailor Day activities
Cruising toward Harpa
Pretty fantastic looking building. I wish we had gone in!
Looking up at some of the panels that make up Harpa
Across the bay, it is very rural. We drove that way taking the Ring Road.
This is how Vikings travel these days. Much more comfortable.
We got funny looks from cyclists
I was glad to have made this shot! She was riding past on her bicycle, and I was shooting at 270mm.
Yes, it is this picturesque in reality. Shockingly beautiful.
Sólfar = Sun Voyager sculpture. Great textures and shapes, contrasting with the mountains and city.
We take a little break for talk and photos

Love the colors and sloped roofs of the apartment buildings

A good place to get some sun
WOW airways office in Reykjavik. We didn't fly them, but I considered them strongly
Rolling up towards the cathederal
On road Segway riding
We pause in the sun as Stefán takes a call
Rolling up to Hallgrimskirkja
Obligatory upward shot. Tall... (Hallgrimskirkja, Reykjavik, Iceland)
We spot a bride arriving for her wedding
Here comes the bride!
High tech invades the tower
Wow! 2:45 already? Sort of looks like an inverted Movado watch...

Rolling into a sculpture garden
Getting cultured as we ride by

Returning towards the harbor, rolling through a nice shopping district near our hotel
Alþingi, the Parliament House
Much going on in the square next to the Alþingi. It is one of the warmest days of the year.
Kids playing interesting games
Here is a hen party coming up on what happens a little bit after the hen party...
Young ladies out enjoying the day together
Finishers of the Color Run, first time it was held in Iceland
Here are the smiles!
Getting set up to play Kubb, sort of like bowling and horseshoes. The king is on the left
This lady has the batons for Kubb
Children happy playing in the summer sun.
