I hope we can get our computer back in order soon so that I can blog some pictures again. Today is the worst day of the year in terms of getting around central Reykjavík. People park their cars on top of each others and Hotels are fully booked 6 months in advance. Dad wouldn't let me run the full marathon so I ran the Lazy town kid's marathon which is 700 m. The picture is stolen from here. For pics of previous cultural nights click here and here.
Yesterday Dad swam across the bay to Viðey- island and back which takes maybe 1,5 hour. The water temperature was about 9°C. I got to go with Dad's uncle's boat to see him on the way. With a little help from one of the rubber boats we actually found him among the approximately 170 people swimming all dressed in identical orange swimming caps. I shouted "swim daddy" at him. Most people swam only one way but Dad decided it was so much fun he swam back to Reykjavik again. Some people that took part in the event are swimming from Britain to France later this year. For them this was probably like taking a foot bath. You can see pictures here. It was a National record in terms of all the participants.
