Lisco poured a cup and smelled the white fruity aroma of mint, sea scent, eucalyptus leaves and laurel, and also had a faint juniper scent, and even a hint of lavender essential oil. Take a sip, and the aroma continues to bloom in your mouth, a refreshing and soft texture, the warmth of the spirit wine is slowly released, the flavor is complex, the floral scent is obvious, and the juniper scent is no longer so prominent. The aftertaste is fresh and clean, with a hint of green tea.

The pleasure of the trip made Li Sike relax his restraints. He rarely drank himself drunk alone, and he didn't even know when the waiter came in to clean up the leftover wreckage he had eaten.

Because he fell asleep early, he did not pull the curtains, and the dazzling morning sunlight woke him up from his sleep.

"Um~" Li Sike rubbed his eyes and stretched.

“It looks really clean.”

Looking out from the window, the street was cleaned up, and the sky was very pure blue.

Now is the sun rising, and the sunlight swept across the two sides of the mountains in the distance, reflecting the beautiful purple color, making people feel like they are in a painting.

Li Sike got up to wash up, and the hotel had received the message and sent breakfast.

Breakfast is Iceland's unique rye bread and cinnamon bread, and an omelette. The rye bread is roasted with urban geothermal heat, paired with Icelandic cheese and rhubarb jam, which is a rare delicacy. The cinnamon bread is sprinkled with cardamom sugar, and the fried egg is simply fried. The not simple part is the salt it uses. The smart Icelanders use geothermal energy to evaporate seawater to obtain local salt, and then smoke it with Arctic thyme and birch trees. The eggs fried with this salt have a unique flavor.

Lisco feels that the most fascinating thing about traveling is not only the scenery with different styles, but also the local specialty food. These foods can bring the ultimate enjoyment of taste buds, and can also get a lot of the history and culture of local people's lives from it.

After breakfast, Lisco took his camera and backpack and dressed casually to go out. Of course, sunscreen sunglasses and hats are essential.

Walking out of the hotel, I looked at the buses driving from time to time on the road. There was no one inside, and only the drivers were enjoying the bus, because Iceland has a small population and the bus company is owned by the government.

The temperature today is pretty good. When Lisco left the hotel, he saw only five degrees on the thermometer on the wall. There were not many pedestrians on the road. Although June is also a great opportunity for travel, the most famous aurora in Iceland is from August, and it will be seen in April of the following year. Lisco regretfully missed this time, but it doesn’t matter. Only those who have regrets can remember it freshly.

The currency of Iceland is Icelandic Krona, 1 Icelandic Krona is almost 5 cents, and 100 Icelandic Krona is seven cents. Lisko exchanged a thousand dollars of krona at the airport, which should be enough for him to spend on this trip.

Reykjavik is mainly based on geothermal energy, and boilers and chimneys are almost impossible to see in the city. The entire city is planned reasonably, the environment is clean and pollution-free, so it is known as a "smoke-free city".

Lisko's first destination is the city's old town. The old town facing the bay has squares and a large number of classical buildings, and there are many two-story wooden houses, which are deliberately full of energy. It is a good place to appreciate the completely unpolluted environment of Iceland.

When you walk to the famous Tonin Lake in the old city, the lake is not that clear. The biggest feature here is that it is a habitat for waterfowls all year round. Ducks, seagulls, swans and other wild animals can often be seen on the lake. Therefore, many tourists call it "Duck Lake".

The lake is surrounded by important buildings such as government buildings, museums and universities, and is an extremely beautiful and peaceful landscape in the city. Lisco saw many local elderly people and couples sitting here and feeding waterfowl. There were also students reading books on the bench next to them. It was a peaceful landscape.

Li Sike took a photo and looked at his composition in the camera. The scenery was photographed with artistic conception. He also leaned on the back of the bench and looked at the lake and the buildings in the distance, and he felt extremely comfortable.

Next to it is the city hall in Reykjavik. At the door is a marble introduction in English. This building was built by former Prime Minister David Odesson when he was the mayor. The architect who designed the building was also threatened by death and bombs. The mayor opposed the opposition and was completed and used in 1992, with a construction period of four and a half years.

This building is shaped like a dock and has a unique style. This building has three gates: east, west and north, which fully reflects Iceland's openness and democracy. Anyone can enter freely and contact politicians.

Li Sike didn't look at it much, took photos of the architectural style and prepared to go to the next location.

There are two churches with different styles standing by the lake. Through chatting with passers-by, Lisco learned that a Cathedral called Landauthors, a Catholic church. Standing at the door, you can hear the beautiful singing of the choir inside.

Another one called Reykjavik Liberty Church, is a green steeple church with mild colors. It is called Liberty Church because it cuts off relations with the government, does not accept government funding, and the church's policies are not affected by the government. It is designed by the Catholic Church by an architect.

This place is often used as a venue for music performances. The Iceland Radio Music Festival has been held here twice. Listening to music in the church is definitely a good experience, but unfortunately I didn’t feel it.

Lisco walked forward and arrived at the nearby attractions he wanted to observe most, "Sun Voyager".

The Sun Voyager is a sculpture made of skeletons, created by the famous Icelandic sculptor Arnasen, and is placed next to the coast north of Reykjavik.

According to others' explanation, this sculpture is an important symbol of the city. The skeleton represents this smokeless city, facing the sea, reflecting the uninhibited spirit of the Viking Navigator.

The general shape of this pirate ship is imitated with Viking ships, symbolizing the history and determination of Icelanders to conquer the ocean. The summer sun shines on the sculptures, shining brightly and very beautiful.

With the icebergs and sea water in the distance, the sculpture appears more resolute. Lisco could imagine that when the weather was gloomy, the sculpture was like a ship heading to the end of the world. Overall, it seemed like an ethereal inspiration that was not on the earth.

In 864 AD, the navigator Froke climbed into Iceland, breaking the tranquility of this foggy island. The Navians, Irish and Scots who followed each other lived here, and since then the curtain of Iceland's history has opened. In the process of so many years of development, Icelanders have fought with the weather and the ocean and survived to this day.
