If you walk east along shore from Reykjavík Harbour eventually you will come to an area called Laugarnes. There is a lovely shore walk and the Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum. This is where I often head out for walk, it's a brilliant spot to watch the impressive mountains across the from the city and the fresh air is perfect for clearing the head. Further to the east is Viðey Ferry Terminal which is an industrial area - you will hear the Ferry passing in this episode. This shore walk is a little urban nature oasis that is on the Icelandic Nature Conservation Register. Although there is nothing left of it now, there used to be a leper hospital here, followed by a military barracks, but now it's mostly just grass and nature. If you're lucky you might also meet the local cat who looks a bit like Sylvester and loves to hunt for mice in the grass.
