Day 2: The Pearl

We are still jet lagged and tired, but once everyone had napped (after breakfast) we went off the Pearl (Perlan).

This uses to be a some sort of hot water supply station for Reykjavik, but now it houses the Saga Museum and a restaurant, and has a viewing deck.

The saga museum is a bit creepy, with silicon models moulded from real Reykjavikkers.  One of them even moves, just a little, as if it;s sighing.  Here's Kate, getting really involved in Icelandic history:

The Pearl is up on a hill, so the view is fantastic.  Here are some shots from the viewing deck.

We tried to swim, but the pool was closed because it was Icelands's Independence Day.
