Our final day in Iceland kept us in Reykjavic. We woke up early and went to the buffet in the hotel Icelandair Marina. Their buffet was good but I liked the cafe style breakfast just before you get to the buffet part. Much cheaper and great Icelandic yogurt!
We walked around town and did some Christmas shopping. I had to get to the Hard Rock for my obligatory Hard Rock guitar pin. We really enjoyed Iceland's quirky signs and overall relaxed attitude. Cool museums along the way were the Art , Volcano and Punk Rock museums.
Probably the best price in town...yah, probably.
After shopping we had to go get our obligatory vacation burger. Right by the hotel we found it!
Very casual and nice homemade burgers
Fun posters kept me entertained as we waited for our food
Jim enjoyed reading a local paper
After lunch we met the gang and went to the whale watching spot. Unfortunately we didn't realize there were 2 different tours and Gina & Dave went on the larger, slower boat. Once Gina saw our high speed boat she was quite happy about it!
Jelly fish floated by!
Ducks were near (He said there were cousins to the puffins)
A storm was a bit away & not in our path - beautiful!
It was hard to see where the sea ended and the sky began. A dolphin breaks the line if you look closely.
Our guide from Spain
We did a wild figure 8 behind the Harpa that was fun. Grateful we didn't
die! We headed out to town to try the hot dogs that we heard so much
about.
So the hot dog has part pork part lamb. Underneath it has raw onions and fried crispy onions. It also has bacon. on top is a mustard & mayo mixture. It was gorgeous 60 degrees out and we had a nice lunch. It was a nice goodbye to Iceland. Van picked us up at the airport & we flew home getting to bed about 0130 am. A quick but wonderful trip!
