Reykjavik


Iceland National Museum


Sea angling for Whiting on a whale watch I went on. We ate them for lunch after we caught them.


Viking skeletons, Iceland National Museum


Back in Rochester now after visiting Matt in Jersey upon return from Iceland. Farewell, Iceland, you were fucking amazing.

Reykjavik food


Supposedly the best lobster soup in the world? at Saegreiffin, on the harbor. Tasty stuff, and fresh.


Afternoon pick-me-up



I will try almost anything
but there are some things I will not eat
and this is one of them. $12 for a whale shishkabab.


Tomorrow Sadi and I are going on a whale watch to hopefully see some live whales and puffins. The weather was glorious today, hopefully it'll carry on tomorrow.

Reykjavik

Sculpture Garden in Reykjavik, apparently only tourists go here.



Icelandic delicacy! Fermented Shark aka Hakarl



Candy stand at the flea market. Icelanders love their candy. I've been in grocery stores small enough that they only have something like four racks of food, and never fail, one of those racks is always devoted to candy.

Mask stand, Flea Market, downtown Reykjavik

Aleece and I took our second day off of the trip and went down to Reykjavik just to wander around. We've been staying at a university outside of Borgarnes, called Bifrost, couchsurfing with a Korean exchange student here, Sol. She came down with us for the day and introduced us to some of her awesome Icelandic friends, one of whom, Finn, ended up showing us around for most of the day and night.
