Girl in Sixt offered to take us to the camping in Reykjavík  by their minibus and we agreed. 

So we are there in the camping of Reykjavík. Camping is very nice, with cozy green territory,  public area with grill and hot showers.  We found a lovely place for our tent.

There was kitchen as well where we cooked food. You will find kitchen in almost every campsite around Iceland. But this one was one of the best with all you need to cook. 

Eating our lunch

After lunch we went to walk around Reykjavík. There is nice seafront, not far away from the camping.

They had a fishing tour and now grilled the fish.
