Day 117 - Reykjavik, Iceland (Day 2)


 Our second day in Reykjavik we had an excursion called "Moonscapes, Hot Springs and Lobster Tails". We drove to a lake that had stark, moonlike surroundings   then to a geothermal Area to see steam escaping from numerous vents and mud pots,  For our lobster tails, we went to a restaurant on the south coast located in a fishing village.

The NCL Norwegian Prima was docked next to us today. I thought is was going to block my view of the sunset


But berceuse of the angle that the sun travels at these high latitudes, it appeared before it set.
