Last night at midnight it was still light outside our cabin. And when I woke at 4 am, the sun was coming up.
I ventured out on my balcony as we made port.
So far so good! We decided to do a hop-on hop-off bus which would take us around the city. From where we caught the bus the scenery was quite stunning.
The buses were not running well so we waited for almost an hour. But finally all aboard!
This photo was taken just moments before the skies opened in a deluge of water.
We rode the bus through the entire circuit. We saw the music hall or Harpa.
The Hofoi House where the 1986 summit between President Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev took place to end the Cold War.
The Hallgrimskirkja, a church with a 73-meter high spire, makes it the tallest building in Reykjavik.
Also it was interesting to see the yellow and red houses so common in Scandinavian countries.
We stopped at the Old Harbor House for fish and chips. I have to say I was disappointed. Someone on the ship said the fish and chips were better in Iceland than in England. Not at this place. They were too heavily breaded.
We walked along the harbor which was lovely.
We walked to the next stop which was the Whales of Iceland museum. Inside they had life-size models of a variety of whales including the sperm whale, beluga, and blue which is the largest mammal that has ever lived on earth or in its waters.
After the Whale Museum, here are a few random shots around Reykjavik.
We finally made it back to the ship and out on deck the scenery was quite spectacular.
After dinner we were treated to an incredible Iceland Band that played hauntingly beautiful music.
After the show we went to our cabin to catch some scenic views from our balcony.
