Lisko's American life

Liske poured a glass, smelling white fruit scents combined with mint, saprinus, eucalyptus leaves and laurel. At the same time, it also has a touch of juniper berries and even a hint of lavender essential oil.Take a sip, the aroma continues to bloom in the mouth, refreshing and soft taste, the warmth of the spirit is slowly released, the flavor is complex, the floral aroma is obvious, and the juniper berry flavor is no longer so prominent.The aftertaste is fresh and clean, with a hint of green tea.

The joy of traveling made Lisko let go of his restraints. He was rarely drunk by himself, and he didn't even know when the waiter came in to clean up the wreckage he had eaten.

Because he went to bed early, he did not draw the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight in the morning woke him from his deep sleep.

"Hmm~" Lisko rubbed his eyes and stretched.

"It looks so clean."

Looking out from the window, the street is clean and clean, and the color of the sky is very pure blue.

It is the time when the sun is rising, and the sunlight sweeps over the two mountains in the distance, reflecting the delicate purple, making people feel like they are in a painting.

Lisko got up to wash, and the hotel had received a message to deliver breakfast.

Breakfast is Icelandic rye bread and cinnamon bread, and an omelette.The rye bread is baked with the city’s geothermal heat, and is paired with Icelandic cheese and rhubarb jam. It is a rare delicacy.The cinnamon buns are sprinkled with cardamom sugar. The omelette is simply fried. The not easy part is the salt used. The clever Icelanders use geothermal energy to evaporate seawater to obtain partial salt, and then smoke them with Arctic thyme and birch. The salt-fried eggs have a special flavor.

Li Sike feels that the most fascinating part of travel is not only the scenery of different styles, but also the local specialties. These delicacies can bring the ultimate enjoyment of taste buds, and can also get a lot of the history and culture of local people's life.

After breakfast, Lisko took a camera and backpack, dressed casually and prepared to go out. Of course, sun-proof sunglasses and hats are essential.

I walked out of the hotel and looked at the bus passing by the road from time to time. There was no one inside, only the driver was addicted to the car, because Iceland has a small population and the bus company is owned by the government.

Today’s temperature is pretty good. When Lisko was out of the hotel, I saw that it was only five degrees on the thermometer on the wall. There were not many pedestrians on the road. Although June is also a great opportunity to travel, Iceland is the most famous. Aurora starts in August, and there are five months to be seen in April of the following year. Lisko regrettably missed this time, but it doesn’t matter, only regretful trips can be remembered.

The currency of Iceland is the Icelandic krona. 1 Icelandic krona is almost 5 cents of RMB, and 100 Icelandic krona is 7 cents. Lisko exchanged 1,000 US dollars at the airport for Krona, which should be enough for his trip.

Reykjavik uses geothermal energy as the main energy source. There are almost no boilers and chimneys in the city. The entire city has a reasonable planning, clean environment and no pollution, so it is known as a "smoke-free city".

Liske’s first destination was the old town of the city. The old town facing the bay has squares and a large number of classical buildings, as well as many two-story wooden houses, deliberately lush.It is a great place to appreciate Iceland's completely unpolluted environment.

When you walk to the famous Toning Lake in the old city, the water is not so clear. The biggest feature here is that it is a habitat for waterfowl throughout the year. Ducks, seagulls, swans and other wild animals are often seen on the lake.So many tourists call it "Duck Lake".

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

Li Ske took a photo and looked at his own composition in the camera. The scenery was taken very moodily. He also followed people leaning on the back of the bench and looking at the lake and the buildings in the distance, making him extremely comfortable.

Next to the Reykjavik City Hall, there is a marble introduction in English standing at the door. This building was built by the former Prime Minister David and Odyssson as the mayor. The architect who designed the building was also threatened with death and bombs. , The mayor rejected all the opinions and was completed and put into use 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 doors to the east, west and north, which fully reflects the openness and democracy of Iceland. Anyone can enter freely and contact politicians.

Lisko didn't look much, took pictures of the style of the building, and was ready to go to the next location.

There are two churches with different styles standing by the lake. After chatting with passers-by, Lisko learned that a Catholic church called Landau Taos Cathedral, standing at the door can hear the beautiful singing of the choir inside.

The other is called the Reykjavik Freedom Church. It is a green steeple church with mild colors. It is called the Freedom Church because it cuts off the relationship with the government, does not accept government funding, and the church’s policies are not Influenced by the government.It was designed by an architect with the Catholic Church.

It 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 I didn't feel it.

Li Sike walked forward and reached the spot he wanted to observe most near here, "Solar Voyager".

The Sun Voyager is a sculpture, a pirate ship made of skeletons, created by the well-known Icelandic sculptor Arnason, and placed on the coast north of Reykjavik.

According to other people's explanations, this sculpture is an important symbol of the city. The skeleton represents this smoke-free city and faces the sea, reflecting the unruly spirit of Viking navigators.

The general shape of this pirate ship is modeled on the Viking ship, which symbolizes the history and determination of the Icelandic people to conquer the ocean. The summer sun shines on the sculpture, glowing brightly, very beautiful.

With the iceberg and the sea in the distance, the sculpture appears more resolute. Lisko can imagine that when the weather is gloomy, the sculpture is like a ship sailing to the end of the world. On the whole, there is a kind of space that is not on the earth. inspiration.

In 864 AD, the navigator Flock landed on Iceland and broke the calm of the Kirishima Island. The following Navians, Irish, and Scots lived here. Since then, the curtain of Iceland’s history has been opened. In the course of so many years of development, Icelanders have struggled with the weather and the ocean to survive until now.
