Things to do
Sightseeing
A few ideas for a day trip from the apartment.
Thingvellir - Golden Circle can easily be done in the same trip (and Reynifjara as well if you have the time).
Þingvellir-Nationalpark
One of Iceland's most popular attractions in the southern area and for a reason, it is very beautiful. The waves from the sea can be very dangerous so be vary of that and keep a safe distance.

Most likely the most popular thing to do in Iceland. Highly recommended and only an hour drive from the capital.

Golden Circle Iceland
AusturströndMost likely the most popular thing to do in Iceland. Highly recommended and only an hour drive from the capital.
Recommended for a day trip if you want to visit some of the smaller, beautiful towns outside the capital area. Don't miss Stykkishólmur, Ólafsvík, Arnarstapi and Grundarfjörður (Kirkjufell in Grundarfjörður is one of the most beautiful mountains in Iceland).

Groceries
For groceries in Iceland there are two main low cost stores, Bónus and Krónan. Both are located just a few minutes drive from the apartment.
Our go-to store for groceries. The one closest to the apartment is in Hamraborg but it a bit small so we usually drive to the one in Gardabaer. Hamraborg is fine for grabbing a few things but bigger shoppings I would recommend going to Gardabaer og the one in Lindir.

Icelands favourite low cost grocery store chain. The one in Nybylavegur is the closest.

Tipping is not a requirement in restaurants
Locals never tip and the waiter/waitress will not be expecting a tip.
