Our final place to visit was Pingviller - an Unesco site, which is the first site of the Icelandic Parliament which they held once a year in ancient times.
We walked across the place where the European and North American tectonic plates meet (one photo is of the fault line). We walked to the flag pole that marked the spot, round to the pool where they drowned convicted felons and back to the coach which took us up the hill to see the site from a different view point.
After that it was back to the city for a rest (but still no Northern Lights tour!)
**Star news - we can now see that the city is surrounded by mountains. The mist has lifted enough for a great view from our hotel room**
