Iceland May Longweekend - Day 2

Day two was a quiet day for us. We wandered into the city centre and managed to bump into a girl I went to school with for 13 years, Mel Shaw!! She lives in London, but it was still funny to see someone from Adelaide in Iceland! We decided to do a whale watching and puffin tour to fill in our afternoon, it was supposed to last 3 hours but we ended up being out the for 5 as they were determined to see a whale. Unfortunately there were no whales, which was very disappointing as they did say we had a 98% chance of seeing one, but we did see some dolphins and we certainly saw a lot of puffins! I was very relieved to be back on shore though as I had gotten quite sea sick and it was so very cold. After a reviving meal it was time to watch the Eurovision song contest and get an early night as we were being picked up at 7.30 the following morning for another all day tour.



The odd things you see around Reykjavik


Thankfully this wasn't our whale watching boat - Ben trying to be funny by implying I'm a whale!!

The Puffins, the only thing we saw on the excrutiating 5 hours we were out at sea!
