The Arctic Fox

I hope I get to see one of these - I must remember in the winter months, their coat is WHITE! Such an amazing animal in an amazing place. I guess I need to go there again in summer to see one with a BLACK coat!

Reykjavik to Borgarnes Extension

Image
Dec 13, Day 6 We switched up days a bit, today's activities were supposed to be tomorrow but no problem. On our way to Reykjavik, stop in the town of Borgarnes to visit an Icelandic settlement exhibition and learn more about Viking history. The first portion of the Settlement Center was quite interesting, the second was a saga of Egils, which was less interesting because it was just folklore and myths, not really factual information.    Cute booties but they cost US$85. Then we waited an hour to have what we were told was going to be a wonderful Christmas buffet in their stunning restaurant. It was nice enough but far from stunning. The food was mediocre at best. One reason the food is less enjoyable is the salt content is sky high. You can't eat much of something because the salt is over powering. I have eaten a lot of apples here!!!

Extension-Back to Reykjavik

Image
Dec 14:  Sunrise 11:14a - Sunset 3:29p West Iceland & Langjökull Glacier was the plan but due to weather the ice caves and the special ice truck drive on the  Langjökull Glacier was canceled. We are beyond disappointed. That was the main reason we decided to do the extension. However, they have put in place replacements for our enjoyment. 1) Lava Cave, 2) complementary Lunch, 3) museum visit back to Perlan with farewell drink. They cannot control the weather for sure, but it is very disappointing.  I realized what this is, so I wanted to add it. I "assumed" this was olive oil when I saw it with other condiment-type things at buffets. I even poured a bit on some fresh veggies one day and thought it wasn't very good olive oil! Well, surprise to me, this is Cod Liver Oil!!! It certainly doesn't taste that bad considering what it is. One typically drinks a shot glass of this followed by juice or something else. Gunnur was shocked I didn't think it was aw...
