Day 21: May 30: Reykjavik (Final Day in Iceland)

My last full day in Iceland began around 06:45
, with the ring of my alarm. We had our usual sparse breakfast of Skyr and various breads with jam and butter and headed out for Reykjavik.

We attempted to visit the Nordic design center, but discovered that it - like many other things we've encountered on our trip- was closed on Mondays.

After abandoning our luggage at city hostel, we had lunch downtown at Pizzeria. Post-lunch, we were given time to explore Reykjavik...

After getting lost for a short while, Nate and I visited the National Gallery of Iceland... Exhibits visible on: http://www.listasafn.is/english/about-the-museum/
.
After attending the Nordic House, we left to go whale watching. During the course of our voyage, we spotted Minke whales, a Humpback whale, and white beaked dolphin.

Nate and I had dinner at Shalimar, a Pakistani restaurant, and attempted to find our way home. We became lost in a parking lot near the coast line and a friendly Icelandic man redirected us towards our hostel.

The day ended around 0200 the next day with the realization that tomorrow we would all be in a quite hypnotic condition.
