We asked some faces around town how they’d spend their perfect day in Reyk- javík. Note: they all go to the pool, and so should you. Read more at gpv.is/perfd. Solveig Matthildur, musician In the morning: I would wake up early and make a huge vegan breakfast for my family. Then I’d go to a swimming pool and pre- tend to swim but actually just lay in the hot tub for a long time and listen to the elderly people chat about nothing and everything. Assuming it’s summertime and the sun is shining, next I’d meet my friends and go to Kolaportið. Skaði, musician Around noon: I would take a good nap. I would wake up from that nap with a massage from my lovers (at least two of them). It would be a long and enduring massage with a prolonged but very happy ending for everyone involved. After that I would head toward Nauthólsvík and go for a swim in the ocean then relax in the hot tub and sauna. Anna Margrét Björnsson, writer In the afternoon: Given that it’s a day off work, I would head to the swimming pool with the family, my favourite pools being either Sundhöllin or Laugar- dalslaug. The former is good if you just want to soak in a hot tub and the latter is great for doing laps—plus it has a great slide for children. A pool trip makes you hungry so I’d head to Hlemmur Mathöll for lunch, either at the Michelin-mentioned Skál or for a delicious hot-sauce doused taco at Fuego Taqueria. Hildur, musician Late at night: On my perfect day, there’d be an amazing show— Kiasmos maybe—at Húrra or Gamla Bíó. After that, I’d end up at Kaffibarinn or Prikið, danc- ing and chilling. My perfect night always ends with food, though, so I’m think Mandi maybe—that’s a classic. Then I would walk home and because it would be summer, it would be really bright. It’s nice to take a slow walk home and ap- preciate the nice long nights in Reykjavík. thanks for the warm welcome, we are thrilled to be honored as the best newcomer. reykjavík we salute you!
