It’s just a wooden platform facing the alley behind a youth hostel. But the deck at KEX in Reykjavik holds so many wonderful memories for me. It’s usually the first thing I see as I set out on a new day’s adventure when I visit Iceland. On warmer days, I’ve curled up on benches there reading my guidebook or journaling. It’s where I’ve struck up conversations with strangers and listened to bands when the building was filled to capacity. And I think the last time I sat around with friends just chatting over drinks was on the KEX deck. You could almost say it’s a real life place that feels like Tiffany’s.
