And there’s a bit of a non-descript part of a whale!
And then – YES – I managed to catch *this* shot! I’ve been on a few whale watches, and only ever once saw a whale (that was on the Alaskan ABD) but all I saw that time was a bit of back. But finally! A tail!!
YAY!!!
We had this rainbow, in various bits and pieces, for the whole time we were out there.
After we’d seen a few whales, and the sun was starting to get a bit low, they brought out the fishing poles, and those who wanted to, participated in a bit of catch-and-release cod fishing. I tried my hand at it, and managed to catch 2 cod at once! (Well, technically, I caught one, and the other one got entangled in the line!)
It was fun watching everyone take turns, and everyone seemed to enjoy this activity.
Honestly? While I *loved* the Whale watch and thought the fishing was fun, I could easily have skipped the whole fish factory part and been just fine. Maybe they could cut that part and catch a later flight to Akureyri, which would mean they could spend the night at the Fosshotel?
Anyways, we eventually headed back to shore, where we turned in our jumpsuits, took another quick bathroom break, then boarded our motorcoach to head to Akureyri to check into the Icelandair Hotel Akureyri.
