Phew!

Keflavik water front.
The day was a very long one!  After our very early arrival, we took a quick walking tour of the Keflavik water front, followed very urgently by breakfast. By this point we've all been up for 24 hours, so blahhhh! We decided to work off breakfast by walking to the Viking Museum.

The museum tells the story of the Icelandic Sagas that recount Leif Erikson's discovery of Vinland, which is broadly believed to be the Norse settlement discovered at L'Anse AuxMeadows, N.L.  This is all very interesting and even more so because you can touch and stand in a Norse style replica ship, that sailed across the Atlantic in 2000 to celebrate 1000 years since the original landing.
The Icelander.
