26 June: In the morning, we make a quick decision to visit the little fishing town of Grindavík, and come back via Blue Lagoon. | |
![]() UsaKousa get a window seat on our 2PM bus out of town. |
![]() It's a clear day, and Snaefellsness glacier can be seen on the other side of the sea. |
![]() An aircraft preparing to land on the moon. (Keflavík Airport is close by.) |
![]() Another one. |
![]() |
Everyone else gets off at Blue Lagoon, so we have the bus to ourselves on the way to Grindavík. Our first stop: the Salt Fish Museum.
![]() |
![]() No, they're not real ;-) |
![]() "With Head". |
The museum is right by the harbour, where a couple of guys are hauling crates of fish ashore with a crane - while two kids look on and occasionally give the guys a hand :-) | ![]() |
![]() The contents of the crate are then poured into a larger crate. |
![]() But sometimes they spill over. |
![]() The boy picking it up and putting it back into the crate. |
![]() The last crate contains various kinds of fish and so need to be sorted by hand. |
![]() A simple petrol station. |
![]() A lone seagull by the sea. |
To Part 9 (Now onto Blue Lagoon...)
