Day 15 - Whale Watching

Great sleep in today! So dark in the basement of Andrew and Dagny's house we are lucky as the sun does not set!

Pancakes for breakfast 😋 and then we decided we would go whale watching in a nearby town 👏🐋

We arrived and had to get suited up into extra layers that would keep us warm and dry. We then set sail in an old boat. The sea was pretty choppy today, slightly windy and a bit cold 🥶 (we actually got Guy to wear pants today!)
We were hoping to see the Humpback whale, and we were lucky to see a few today 👏
This was such a neat experience to be so close to one of the largest mammals in the world. At 1st we were viewing them from quite a way and then next thing we were right up close by the boat! (See video!)
Spotted a couple of dolphins.
We had hot chocolate and biscuits and then set for back to shore.

Headed back home 🏡 and made an early dinner as we skipped lunch 🙈

After dinner around 7pm we drove about 3 mins up into the mountain and played in the snow, we had so many laughs, lots of fun and a few fails before everyone got freezing cold we went home and the kids jumped in the hot tub 😀
Most of today was very low cloud but around 8pm it all disappeared and we had the incredible views again 👏
Bloody love this place! 🥰
Tomorrow is Icelands national day so let's see what adventures we do tomorrow 😍🇮🇸Read more
