This afternoon we went to another glacial lagoon and to diamond beach (where the icebergs go to die) and then an evening stroll to the glacier behind the hotel. Glorious sunshine this afternoon.Meer informatie

Taking advantage of a rare appearance by the sun, Kevin and I went for a lovely evening walk to the glacier. Nice to get away from the crowds.

One small issue with our hire car. When the satnav says turn left sometimes it means turn right. But not all of the time.

A circular tour today. First up Husavik, where we went to the impressive whale museum. Whales are big. And, according to the video narrated by (who else?) David Attenborough, they are also clever. WeMeer informatie
