One of the great aspects of travelling, is food. No matter where you go in the World, there’s always several types of food, you just won’t get at home. So last night we went to a very fancy restaurant and while not a planned choice, we could not pass up the chance to eat some whale and puffin, or rather, “I” could not pass up the chance.
So, what did they taste like, well, fishy from the whale and a gamey flavor from the puffin, both very nice if I do say so.
So earlier that day we went for our walking tour of Reykjavik. While very cold, it was dry and only slightly overcast. Our guide was very nice and made the walk very interesting, including pointing out some good places to eat, drink and find a really good coffee. After out guided walk we explored a lot more of the city, the Harbour area, which is the “up and coming” part of the city, the amazing Opera House and had a very long walk along by the sea front.
Our last day was another long road trip, the weather was very indifferent as the day went by, sometimes the sun would show itself briefly but a lot of the time it was cloudy. The highlight of the day was a trip to the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. A torrent of a waterfall rising up to over 100 meters, the fun part, you can walk in behind it, – and yes, you get pretty wet, so wet gear and good boots were essential. Along with several other attractions, more waterfalls, the famous dark sand beaches and glaciers, it was a fantastic day, finishing up in the Secret Lagoon.
Our last meal was also a local secret, pointed out by out walking guide the day before. A very quirky bar, serving pizza, made in it’s award winning restaurant downstairs. Gourmet food and pizza from the same kitchen, the pizza was excellent.
So that is pretty much that, Iceland was truly amazing, a great outdoorsy vacation, well worth a visit. As always, I hope you all enjoyed reading the blog, until next time, bye for now. (and yes, I will get to photos at a later date)
