August 22 and 23 - the last days of trip

The last two days of the trip were spent in Iceland doing a bit of 'walk about', relaxing at the Blue Lagoon spa, visiting a few museums, and having one final fish dinner at The Pearl restaurant.

Then we had the long flight home which was smooth and uneventful, thankfully.

Even though we only had one sunny day the trip was a great success and we had a great time! Freewheeling, our bike touring company, did a first class job and made the trip that much more enjoyable despite the weather. Our bike group was small, only 6 of us and two guides, and we all got along great and enjoyed each others company.  We will have many great remembrances of this trip, our accomplishment of riding our bikes through the rolling hills (read hilly) of the Lofoten Islands, and our touring around Iceland.

The Blue Lagoon, where we soaked for over 2 hours. (See swim up bar to right)

The non-swimming part of the Blue lagoon is very pretty and geothermal power plant seen in background.

Famous sculpture we saw on our "walk about"

The all glass exterior of the Concert Hall

Sculptures are all over the place here.

Our final 'fish' meal at the Pearl
We visited a great whale museum where they have species of whales all life size and you can walk around them to get sense of true size.
