Boat trip - sailing in the fog!

Earlier I announced that the summer had arrived in Hvammstangi, at last! But alas, good weather in Iceland is often very brief and eratic. So of course the weather changed from a clear blue sky to dense fog in roughly 20 minutes - just before our boat trip. So we were in for a cold ride:


We saw many birds, especially the funny Icelandic puffin attracted our attention - it's a miniature penguin who thinks it can fly... it just about makes it 2-3 centimeters over the ocean before falling down again :) a very funny sight! The grand pirze for the cold chilling trip was a whale sighting, a sleek gray body too fast for this cameraman (read: my hands were deep in my pockets, keeping warm :)

Another cultural encounter between the French and the Japanese!
