Yesterday we walked around and went to…the mall!  Best way to people-watch the locals and look at all the different stores, etc.  Today is museum day, and then tomorrow is Blue Lagoon in the morning and then we depart lovely Iceland…

Also, most of you know I’m a complete airplane and airport nerd.  So of course I had to blog about that via a trip report over at airliners.net…

Today we went to the Perlan.  It was quite a hike, but the views are spectacular.  Perlan is a bunch of hot water tanks with a view deck, cafeteria and fancy revolving restaurant.

Later we’re going to the Volcano House for coffee and to watch cool volcano movies.  Then another relaxed night like yesterday.

We’re hopeful the weather stays clear for a possible Snaefelsness Tour tomorrow or Tuesday.

Today we toured the South Shore of Iceland – black sand beaches, glaciers, and waterfalls!  The tour was longer travel than yesterday – our asses are glad to be back “home” in Reykjavik.  But it was worth it – again, incredible sights were seen and it was WINDY!  Loved it!

We were going to do Snaefelsness Peninsula tour today, but it got snowed-in and we did the Golden Circle tour instead.  Tomorrow we do South Shore tour, and we’ll try for Snaefelsness later in the week.

Oh, and Happy Iceland Beer Day!!

Here are today’s photo highlights:
