Whale watching!

Today we got up bright and early to catch the shuttle to take us whale watchig. Well before we did anything we checked on the outcome of the referendum, looks like I'll be heading back to a united UK.  We went downstairs to have some breakfast, which was mostly cold cuts and cheese and lots of different brown breads. It was pretty good, and free! The we caught the shuttle and stopped at a few other hotels and got to the wharf. The boat is prett nice and because it's raining we got to wear very stylish full body fowlies! Pretty hot! Actually they were totally worth it since it was quite cold with the rain. We set out and didn't see much at first, some birds and a bunch of jelly fish, and I was starting to think it might be a bit of.l a bust, but then we spotted a Minki whale! So we watched it for a bit and then suddenly it surfaces literally right next to the boat! It was so cool and then kept surfacing near us as it swam away. Pretty neat! Then we went to where some porpoises had been spotted and saw a bunch of white beaked dolphins  hunting, so that was pretty cool! The whale was te most exciting for sure, but it was a nice trip out on the water.

We then decided that it was time for lunch so we tried to go to this Mexican place that we saw earlier, but alas it was closed! So we wandered around and ended up going to a sandwich place called lemon that made a really good panini type thing. Very good! Then we went to Harpa, that big concert hall and went in this 360 video cube room where we watched a film about Iceland. It was kind of like soarin over California but you're not moving. Then we grabbed the hop om hop off tour so we could see a bit more of the city and had it drop us off the church of Leif erikson. It's pretty nondescript inside but upstairs there's a really great view of the whole city! Then we

Shopped around a bit more and are currently having happy hour at a little restaurant while we figure out what to do for the evening!

We then went to double check that tonight wasn't a good night to go see some northern lights, which is wasn't because it's too cloudy, and then we wandered back towards the hotel and went to a restaurant inside a place called kex hostel that was really good! Craft beers and interesting food inside probably the most hipster place in Iceland! So we hung out there for a while before heading back to the hotel after a very long day!
