Day 11 - Ireland Adventure

Reykjavik to Minneapolis


We knew we didn't have enough time to rent a motorcycle and tour the island, so I'd texted my niece, who had spent spring break in Iceland a few year previously, to see what we shouldn't miss while we were here.

She was kind enough to offer some suggestions. and we made the most of our 24 hours there by visiting everything within walking distance of our hotel...


...like the big Church and Leif Erickson statue.


Self-sanitizing public toilets

 the Harbor


shopped for Icelandic wool (which was very comfortable here since it wasn't 90 degrees out)


and grabbed some lunch before we headed to the airport.



We'd been warned about how expensive Iceland  (understandably) is, but we weren't really prepared for the bill for an appetizer and two beers - $60.00!!!


It was good though and we had to try something different since we were there. I hesitate to admit what we actually ate, but we now can say that we've eaten: whale, char, puffin, and horse.


We took off in late afternoon and got a fabulous view of Greenland from above.


What a cool looking place! We might have to look into Greenland for our next adventure.


I think we say this after every great adventure, but this was one of our favorite trips. It may take a few years, but the Quinlans will be back to Conquering Europe by Motorcycle as soon as we are able.
