Perlan Museum

Today’s event was a visit to the Perlon, an interactive museum of Iceland’s geological history. Reminiscent of the Ontario Science Centre ( but focused on geology). It was very well done. I wish we had done this before driving the Ring Road as I think we would have had a better appreciation of what we were seeing. (Side note: our bus driver forgot to call us and we missed our stop by 2 Kilometres!)

Before going to the Northern Lights presentation in the Planetarium, we had a soup and bread lunch in the cafeteria. THE BEST ICELANDIC LAMB SOUP YET!

Our bus ride home was much better. We bought a few souvenirs and returned to the hotel for a brief rest. An hour later, we caught a bus and set out for our last tourist sights. C went to the Marine Museum and B went to Fly Iceland. C enjoyed her visit; B was disappointed to learn the show was sold out.

After many examinations of our map we found our dinner destination: Post Haus, another food hall. This one is divided up into cosy rooms and we shared a great mushroom ravioli. A few glasses of wine later and all was right with the world.Read more
