Kronars and not Coronas
Oy, the exchange rate really screwed me up today. I went to the ATM to take out so cash, planning on taking out enough to last for the few days that we are here. Sooooo after three failed attempts I settle of withdrawing 1,000 Kronars, seemed like a lot of money at the time. I said to myself, stupid machine game me a 1,000 kronar note, who's gonna make change for that....
We went to visit Hallgrims Kirkja church, pretty impressive and modern building, took an elevator trip of the 75 meter tower to get a spectacular view of the city. I politely asked "ummm can you make change for a 1,000..." She gave me back 200 kronar in change..I was like...what it costs $100 bucks to ride the elevator...never you mind...Actually I took out $10 dollars from the ATM and not $100 as I thought. Oh well.
