Today was definitely a culture filled day! We started off with a bit of a sleep in until 8:30 am. By 10 am, we were already beginning our walk through the Saga Museum. We went up to the viewing deck so see some more of the amazing city of Reykjavik. Before leaving we did an audio tour learning about some of the history of Iceland.

Our next stop was Viðey Island. We walked to the ferry (as if we haven't done enough walking) and had a lovely ride over. The first thing we did was eat... a lot. I don't think there was a single person who didn't order two meals! We had a lot of fun feeding the horses and walking around the adorable little historical island. Emily, Steph, Alex and I spent most of the afternoon on the playground, having way too much fun on the teeter totter and trying to balance on stilts.

After we left we headed back to have some down time at the hostel, then off to possibly the best, and most filling, dinner we've had yet! We're all currently sitting on a boat freezing while wearing full down suits! We're here until midnight so I think we're all just praying to see some whales and puffins! Although after that dinner I think most of us are feeling like whales... It was our last full day, and we all had a blast. Its going to be sad to go home tomorrow, but I think we are all excited to get back to darkness, normal weather, and a real bed! Its going to be nice to relax after such an incredible trip. We could all use some rest! :)
