...to the south. Last year's Christmaspresent for Ingólfur were tickets for the Rammsteinconcert in Kopavogur this weekend. And not only the tickets, but a hotelstay and so on, too. We haven't been to a concert that big for years and in fact were quite excited about going there.
But first we had to go south and of course took a break here and there. First stop was at Miðsitja, where we delivered some seed potatoes and got great coffee in return. And just when we were about to leave, we got a Kodakmoment when 2 horses approached from the Valley above and posed for us. 
Saturdaymorning we spent with doing some necessary shopping and going to Bessastaðir, where the president lives and a lot of light-bellied brent geese take a stop-over on their way to Greenland and Westerncanada. It was quite some experience to watch these birds and get a closer look on them as they don't usually stop in the North of Iceland. 
After having early dinner we went to the concert hall, not sure about what was waiting for us. We got the news that there were around 17.000 sold tickets so it was better to be early and get a nice spot at the arena. The transport to and from the concert was very well organised as you could park your car at Smáralind shopping mall and go from there by free bus. Just cars with 4 or more passengers with valid concert tickets were allowed to park closer by the arena. 
The Icelandic band HAM started to warm up and when the main event was just around the corner, the concerthall was packed, no chance to move and little chance for me to see to the stage, but at least I saw a little bit. Too many too tall people taking smaller guests into account. But what the hell, we came to listen, didn't we? It was a great experience to attend the concert, you could feel the basedrum and the heat of the fire on stage, great songs and great atmosphere. And guess who attended the concert, too... The Icelandic President!
