Ten ticket pass for the ITR Reykjavík swimming pools. For only 1900 ISK you get ten entries to the Reykajvík pools AND locker rooms. That’s a lot of naked people. Throw in heated outdoor pools, hot pots, steam rooms, and you’ve got a bargain. For a list of pools go to www.itr.is.

Cheap books! A new thing to Iceland, Penguin Popular Classic paperbacks from Eymundsson. That world classic with an Icelandic focus, Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth, costs only ISK395.
