Whale/Puffin Watching and Blue Lagoon (Sun 8/1)
Today was our last day together in Iceland. We got a slow start to the day and left for a whale/puffin watching tour around 1.

The first thing we did on the boat was to go past "Puffin Island", where puffins come to nest once a year. There were so many of them on the island and flying around! They were a lot smaller than I had expected, but still extremely cute!
Then we went much further out into the bay to watch for whales. For about an hour, we followed 2 or 3 whales around and watched as they surfaced and dove.

After returning to land, we stopped for a short lunch before my mom, James, Sascha, Edith, and Juergen hopped on a bus to the Blue Lagoon.
My dad and I had had enough with touristy things after the Golden Circle Tour, so we decided to stay behind. While they were gone, we took a long walk along the bay. The lighting and color of the water was amazing!
When they got home, we stayed up late talking, taking pictures, and enjoying our last night together.
