Reykjavik to Borgarnes Extension

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.

Both of these sites were from the bus.  Our first stop was the Lava Center . This was not a scheduled stop but this was exchanged for our visit to an outdoor museum. The weather is such that we could not really enjoy an outdoor museum right now. This stop was interesting and showed the many eruptions and geological activity in the area. Much of it was interactive, which made it i
