Shots from our 2008 winter trip to Iceland. This was from a posh restaurant on the top of a hill overlooking Reykjavik: Perlan, or The Pearl if you want a translated name. It performs a complete revolution of its centered dome once every two hours.

From the top looking down, 4 stories up from the entrance. Basically everything that exists in those stories below is a toilet in the basement.

2
Aliens beaming us up after our meal. Heavy duty photoshop action here.

From the entrance. Majestic hallway.

From the top, view of parking lot.

The Grudge was there too.

Let's try all the nice expensive stuff. Caviar (proper), reindeer pate, buried salmon (gravadlax) and some other stuff.

Center eatery.
