Jewells Chambers Jewells Chambers is the creator and host of the award-winning All Things Iceland podcast and You- Tube channel. Whether you plan to visit, live in Iceland or you are just interested in this small island na- tion, you're in for a treat. Here’s her perfect day in the capital city. First thing in the morning To get the full experience of my per- fect day, a staycation is in order, so my husband and I would check into the Esja Corner Suite at the Reykja- vík Tower Suites the night before. This suite sits on the 20th floor of a building downtown and the floor-to- ceiling glass windows allow for stun- ning unobstructed views of Esja and parts of Reykjavík. A!er the gentle sunrise streaming through the win- dow wakes us up, we enjoy the vegan breakfast delivered to our suite by the concierge assigned to us. We then head out at 9:00 a.m. to meet our paragliding instructor at Paragliding Iceland. While this is in an area that is a 30 minute drive outside of Reykja- vík, it’s a fun and thrilling way to see parts of Iceland from above. Lunch After our adrenaline has worn off from paragliding, we are extremely hungry. We head over to Kól res- taurant on Skólavör"ustígur, just a stone’s throw away from the famous Hallgrímskrikja church, to enjoy a delicious meal. The atmosphere is relaxing and casually elegant, which sets the tone for the rest of our day. In the afternoon After taking a stroll downtown, we make our way over to the Reykjavík Spa at the Grand Hotel to have full body massages and relax in the hot tubs. A few hours of melting away all our cares in the world renews our bodies for the fun night ahead. We slip into some fancy threads and drive over to the next spot. Evening A few of our friends meet us at the bar in the Reykjavik Konsulat Hotel. This swanky setting has a tasteful mixture of modern and antique furni- ture. Plus, the cocktails are delicious. We recount stories of our adventures that day and just enjoy each other’s company. Our dinner reservation is at 7:00 p.m. for a scrumptious three course meal at Austur-Indíaféjalagi!. The stunning decor and aromas of suc- culent Indian food wa!ing in the air transports us into another world. A!er savouring every flavour of our delicious meal, we head to our last activity for the day. In the heat of the night The night is young and we intend to keep the good vibes flowing by sailing on a private yacht courtesy of seatrips.is with our closest friends around Reykjavík. Champagne and spirits are flowing as we dance on the top deck well into the night. The summer sky is bright and we are energized by the spectacular views and fun time. To cap o# the evening, we head back to our suite to snuggle up and rest.
