September 4 - Snæfellsnes Peninsula

For our last full day here we went on a driving tour of Snæfellsnes peninsula. We got through it pretty quick since a lot of what there is to do here (lava caves, glacier hikes, rugged scenery) we've got more than our fill of during the last two weeks in Iceland.

In the evening we ticked the box for one of the few things we haven't done here: get on a boat, boarding a dinner cruise out of Stykkishólmur on the northern side of Snæfellsnes. This late in the summer all the whales and most of the birds have moved on, but the real point of this cruise was "Viking Sushi": they trawl the bottom of the ocean for a few minutes and bring up a harvest of live scallops, anemones, crabs, starfish, etc. and then shucked  the scallops on the deck for us to eat raw.

Heading home tomorrow.
