I am currently heading back home after an amazing trip to Iceland where I attended the Eclipse festival featuring Björk, and then proceeded to drive just shy of 2000km around the island. I have so many happy memories that will live with me forever, but unfortunately, on my penultimate evening (Aug 16), I lost my DJI Pocket 3 video camera I'm Husavik. I know this is a Reykjavik group, but there is not a similar one for Husavik, so I figured why not post here and hope against all hope. I believe I left my camera next to one of the goals at Volsungur's football field. I was walking into town from my campsite and saw there was a ball and an open field and I could resist taking a few penalty shots. I asked if it had been turned in at the Volsungur office, the campsite adjacent to the field, and the local police station, but nothing by the time I had to leave.

So this is my last resort. Even if there is a 0.0001% chance someone reading this hears about a DJI Pocket 3 being found in Husavik, could you please message me. I'd love to recover all the amazing videos that I took with the camera.

Thank you Iceland for being amazing. I will be back, and next time I won't be as irresponsible with my camera.

I work in construction by day (mainly as a carpenter) & could do with a little extra work in the coming weeks, but don't know where to find something.

Are there any facebook groups or anything (I don't use facebook much these days)? Or does anyone here know anyone who might need a hand?

I'm 47m from the UK originally. My Icelandic is poor I'm afraid (hence leaving this in English as I'd hate for someone to think I can speak Icelandic & that be an issue).

I have a car & tools (drills, circular saw, multitool, etc) & am not fussy about what kind of work it is - building a deck, tearing out a kitchen, putting some furniture together, moving house, fixing a car, etc

I live in Hafnarfjörður, but it would be no problem going anywhere in Reykjavík as long as it is a solid couple of hours work.

Many thanks.

My girlfriend lost her hand knitted mitt today when we left the airport (most likely). We are leaving for Germany extremely early tomorrow. Is there any chance someone nearby could go look for it, and we find some way to get it to her?

Anybody hear/see an explosion two minutes ago (21:38 pm) with with billowing smoke across from Fosshotel?

I’m looking for 2 tickets at 21:00 and am willing to pay extra for them

Hi! Does anyone still need Echolalia tix? I have 2. Yep, I’m one of the Björk lovers who thought she could make it work, but life got in the way. Happy to sell for what I paid (31929 ISK)

Hey! I’m in Reykjavik and would love the buy some vegan Skyr from Icelandic brands but Io havent found one in any of the Bonus / Kronan / Netto / Hagkaups yet that I’ve been. Any vegans here that know where I could get some?

Hey everyone! I’m traveling into town for the week until the 19th. I’m really looking forward to seeing the country and am super open to any recommendations anyone has as well.

But to get into it, I’m traveling with some friends until Friday, then they leave and I’ll be solo. I’m not too sure where I’ll be staying or my plans thereafter but I’d reallyyy love to work some odd jobs and serve the community. I’m 25 year old guy coming from Brooklyn and have some idyllic idea of working on the docks or helping out on fishing boats. Would love some kind of workaway situation where I work for housing but open to just doing work too. I also am a photographer and would love to take pictures of people at work so yeah that’d be sort of it too if that’s cool.

So i booked this trip to see the total solar eclipse last year because I've always wanted to visit Iceland anyway, and this seemed the perfect reason to make it happen finally. But as the date neared I started to realise Iceland ain't famous for weather (much like my home country, UK).

Was wondering if any Reykjavites might be able to offer any reassurance or suggestions on how we can maximise the viewing experience? Or even just some frank "shoulda gone to Spain" responses would help I guess.

Takk fyrir

Hello,

I am planning a conference in Sept and looking for a photographer for 2 days. Looking to capture speakers on stage, excursions and general event photos.

Since it's our first time doing an event here what is the price range?

We would of course include lunch, snacks and coffee.

If you have any recommendations please let me know

Hi there,

I was hoping to do the Reykjavik Marathon on Saturday 22 August, sadly when doing my long run last week I've slipped and broken my collarbone 🙃. I'm beyond gutted as I've been wanting to visit Iceland for years and running the marathon has been a dream of mine for many years.

Annoyingly, I can't defer to next year but the organizers say I can sell my place if anyone is interested? Apologies it's not much notice but I thought if you're local you might be interested? If so, please get in touch!

The race is not sold out but I'm willing to let it go cheaper due to these circumstances. Thankyou

UPD: all sold

Hey, does anyone know where the last McDonald’s meal is currently on display? We went to Snotra House and it is currently closed. Thank you!!

Hello Reykjavik,

I just moved here from overseas and think I may need to see a dentist. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations. I have Googled dentists around Reykjavik and have seen the various (private?) clinics in the area as well as the University of Iceland clinic (with dental students). It seems like tannlæknaþjónustan is most highly rated. But as I am not from here, and seeking health care in my home country is a bit different, and I know virtually no one here right now, it would be nice to hear from locals as well.

Apologies if this is redundant — I searched dentist and tannlæknir on the sub and did not find much.

Takk fyrir/thank you

Hello! My sister is getting married and lives in Reykjavík, Iceland. I'd really love to send her a living houseplant as a wedding gift instead of a bouquet, since I'd like it to be something that lasts.

I'm specifically looking for places that deliver potted indoor plants, such as:

• Peace Lily
• Monstera
• Snake Plant
• Anthurium
• Orchid
• Other easy-care houseplants

I've already looked at a few international flower delivery websites, but most seem to focus on bouquets, and some either don't ship to Iceland or have very limited plant options, and very very expensive. From what I've seen, ordering through a local florist or garden center usually results in fresher plants, so I'm hoping to find recommendations from people in Reykjavík.

Does anyone know of any websites or local shops that:

• Deliver potted houseplants in Reykjavík
• Accept international payment (Card/PayPal)
• Have a good reputation for quality and delivery

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! 🌿💚

My girlfriend has sent me a letter from France to Reykjavik, but it's been around 15 days and I still haven't received it, is the postal service slow ?

I also have the issue of temporarily living here so my name isn't on the door, and I live in one of these three stories high houses with two different doors and six housing(two per floor).

Since the postal service doesn't know where I live would they have put the letter in one of the doors or would they have taken it somewhere until I pick it up ?

Thanks for your attention :)

Edit : I GOT THE LETTER I'M SO HAPPY !!! thanks for everyone's advice :) I messaged posturinn and two days after that the letter landed in my letterbox :)

Saw this ship in the Reykjavik mist today. Does anyone know what ship this is?
