Travel: Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus
Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus is a gallery full of modern painting, mixed-medium art, and abstract sculptures.

Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus First up, the entrance – look at this place! It’s a gallery, for sure! The first peek we have inside the Hafnarhus reminds me of a prison we visited in Phnom Penh, Cambodia…

Recipe: BBQ Rotisserie Duck
BBQ rotisserie duck – that’s right! We cooked duck on our BBQ. If you don’t have a rotisserie, I highly suggest you get one. We love ours and chicken is our favourite thing to cook on the rotisserie.

Oh, and don’t forget to truss it! Ingredients Once your duck…
