Takk, Island. (Thanks, Iceland)

 Fun last day in Iceland. First stop was Viking World Museum.  It was pretty interesting.  We got there early, and they let us in anyway.  







Next, lunch at a nice restaurant, then a visit to the Blue Lagoon.  It was $$, but I loved it.  Geothermal pool, silica masks, and a great story teller that was young, cute, and funny.  Yes, John even had a face mask.  We didn’t take my phone or camera inside, since the minerals in the water could wreck havoc, but I took a few pictures outside.  The weather was sunny, but cold and very windy again, so it was great being in the nice warm water.


We drove around the south coast of the peninsula, and up the west side, seeing lots of lighthouses, and stopped at the southern end of the fissure.  There is a bridge, so we stood in Europe, and 30 second later stood in North America.  John mentioned it wasn’t as thrilling as standing on the prime meridian in Greenwich, England.  I’d have to agree.


Bridge over America


However, it was interesting, and we saw lots of other unique things
Old sod house

Further up the coast, a movie crew was working.

Don’t know why this was out of order, same sod location.



Again, out of order.  Inside of sod house 

 There were about 5 or 6 additional lighthouses, but no where to pull off.  I would have had John take pics while I drove, but I get a lot of pictures of the side mirror on the car that way (sorry, John)

I don’t know how they can stand it. It was sooo windy and cold!



Finally, our hotel for the last night, with an ocean view.  Dinner right by the lighthouses (2 of them) .
