I had to be cleared by the nurse via phone call at 8 am (I am fine!) to make an 8:30 excursion, "Valley of the Waterfalls by 4x4." I was a little worried that I would be driving an ATV up treacherous mountain roads, but the vehicles were Jeeps driven by our guides.
Keith and his sister Judi, (who also came on this cruise) went on a different excursion, a 5-mile hike on a black volcanic beach.
We drove to several spectacular waterfalls. The previous day's excursion that I missed was an electric bike ride to see waterfalls. People come to Iceland to see waterfalls, volcanoes, and puffins, and I was afraid I wouldn't see any of them, but at least this day there was waterfall joy. There were waterfalls everywhere and no crowds.
The sun actually emerged for some of the day, and it was chilly and windy. We read the heat index at home is over 100, so I guess we picked a good time to visit Iceland.
The rest of the day was mixed. Cruising is maybe not my deal. I went to bed looking forward to the next day's excursion, "Wildlife by Boat in Heimaey," am island that actually has a tiny picture of a puffin beside it on my map.
