Perfect Day A face of the downtown scene tells us how to spend a perfect day in Reykjavík Reykjavík Map Vital Info Places We Like Best Of Reykjavík June 2 - June 15 In Your Pocket Jóhannes Haukur Jóhanesson Actor Icelandic actor Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson is one of the leads in the Icelandic horror movie ‘Ég man þig’ (“I remember you”), now in theatres. He can also been seen in the upcom- ing ‘Atomic Blonde’, starring Charl- ize Theron. First thing in the morning My perfect day starts on a Mon- day. I’m a father of three and the weekends are nice, but can be a bit hectic. On Monday morning you get the best of both worlds—time with the family. and time for your- self. My Monday starts at 7am—I get the kids to school, the wife to work, breakfast for everyone, and walk the dog. At around 9am, it’s time for ME! Coffee, an omelette and some blueberry porridge, lis- tening to the guys on Radio X, Har- mageddon with Frosti and Máni. Noon On the perfect day I go for a jog in the Laugardalur valley and fin- ish off with weightlifting at World Class Laugar, my local gym. After the workout I treat myself to an hour in the Laugar Spa. Then it’s time for lunch—I stay in the valley and go to Gló. It’s a vegetarian superfood res- taurant, but they also have chicken and that’s what I usually go for. Next I go for a walk and meet someone for coffee and chat at Kaffi Laugalækur. That coffeehouse is right next to Frú Lauga, where I like to go and buy some straight-from-the-farm meat and organically grown vegetables, then head on home. At four, the kids come roll- ing in. In the afternoon When the kids come home it’s their time. I try and distribute my attention fairly and do something fun with each one. Also get them to do whatever homework needs to get done. On a perfect day the weather would be super nice so we’d go to the local swimming pool, Laugardalslaug, and just have loads of fun there until it’s time for dinner. For dinner On my perfect day I wouldn’t cook. I like cooking but it does demand time that I would in this case want to just spend with the family with- out thinking about what’s on the stove. So me and my wife would take the kids out to eat at Saffran, still keeping it local. They have great chicken dishes and good piz- zas that the kids go crazy for. After dinner we take a walk to Ísbúðin í Laugalæk, and get ice cream for everyone. Never going more than a mile or two from home the whole day. Perfect. So far, pretty damn perfect. In the heat of the night After the kids go to sleep me and the wife have the evening to our- selves. In this case we get a baby- sitter to stay with them whilst we go out for a walk by the sea. We come back, have a cup of tea in our lovely home and go to bed. Happy as two peas in a pod. Five peas, counting the kids. Six peas actually, count- ing the dog. That’s it, six peas in a pod. I’m actually writing this on a Sunday, so tomor- row is Monday. I’m go- ing to make it happen. My perfect day. Hold on, checking the forecast… It’s ok, little cloudy. Rainy in the evening. But you know what? I’ll make it work.
