Whale Watching and Puffins
















This is the last post from the Iceland series. Iceland was marvelous and we didn't even touch upon all the things that can be seen and experienced there!  Iceland hands down is one of the most beautiful places I have been to! If you ask the children, each will have a favorite highlight of the trip.  They loved the Blue Lagoon and horseback riding. Whale watching would be next up there on the list though I would have to say it was a little underwhelming in terms of whale sightings!  Having seen Killer Whales in the Pacific Northwest, whale watching in Iceland does not compare.  We did see Humpback Whales and white-beaked whales which aren't really whales, but dolphins.  I know very confusing.  We saw about 5 in the pod we found.  Puffins were probably the highlight.  Well, I better run.  I am exhausted and want to catch a nap before Oma brings the girls back from the swimming pool.

Dearest Kelleyn,
Wow, those Puffins (or in German Papageienvogel) were adorable!
Never seen them before.
Hoping you soon will decompress from this trip.
The good news this morning was that the US ends COVID testing for air travelers.
Looking forward to finally making it back home on Friday the 17th!
Enjoy your German summer.
Hugs,
Mariette
