Cakes, concerts and coffees in Reykjavik

Last year Mrs C and I visited Reykjavik for the first time – tying our long-awaited (17 years!) honeymoon into a trip to see the ever-excellent John Grant play in his adopted hometown.

Besides seeing Mr Grant in the jaw-dropping setting of the Harpa concert hall (imagine a glittering palace of glass as designed by a robot MC Escher), we ate, walked, saw the sights and even found time to sit at the very table at the Mokka Kaffi occupied by Mr G on the cover of his ‘Pale Green Ghosts’ album. Never too proud to fanboy.
