In Iceland
Aug. 30th, 2011 02:53 pmQuick rundown of trip so far:
- flew to Reykjavik, walked all over city, looked at historic sites, museums, parks, art museum
- bus to Akureyri, art festival not much (just an evening concert I was not interested in), saw northernmost botanical gardens in the world
- tour of Myvatn area (Godafoss waterfall, pseudocraters, lots of steam and hiking on lava)
- whale watching in Husavik, one humpback, about 4 or 5 minkes
- while in Husavik saw phallological musuem, glad I am not female whale
- now in Egilssdatir, heading to Seydisfjordur shortly, ferry to Torshavn tomorrow night
Easy traveling, friendly, safe, good roads, weather not too terrible so far
