Sunday, June 18 was our second day of touring in Reykjavik. It was another cold, rainy day. Our morning activity was the Heiomork Nature Reserve. It was only drizzling when we left the hotel, but turned into a downpour when we arrived at our destination. We had a lovely guide who led us through the preserve. She had various foods for us to taste. They were made from the plants we were seeing. We saw old homesteads and sheep pens. There were several caves that we also explored. She told us stories of trolls and elves. The Icelandic people are very superstitious and believe that many of the rocks in the landscape are trolls who have been caught in the daylight. When we reboarded our bus, we each picked a rune stone and she told us the meaning. Other than the rain, it was a fun time.
Our afternoon was a photography outing with Sissi Brimberg, the National Geographic photographer traveling with us. I only lasted a short time because it was raining hard again.
We opted to skip the evening event which entailed a ferry ride to an island for dinner. Since we had to be up at 4:30 AM the next morning we just walked around town a short while and then had a delicious dinner at a local fish (what else) restaurant, Messinn. I had Arctic char and Bob had a fishburger made from cod. Both were delicious.
