ICELAND

---

Hi everyone

We arrived in Reykjavik Iceland,which is the worlds most Northerly capital,on a most glorious friday morning at 7am,sun was shining,the weather has certainly been good to us so far.

The Pearl is the number 1 attraction Reykjavik it’s the biggest nature museum in Iceland,it is situated on the top of Oskjuhlio hill.

The building consists of a vast glass dome resting on top of 6 district heating tanks,4 of them are still in use,one hosts a real ice cave,and one has been turned into a planetarium,from the Pearl there a stunning view of the city.

Kevin and I have been having a hot tub dip most days at sea.

Tonight we have left Reykjavik in beautiful sunshine,we watched the pilot boat leave us.

We will navigate all night long in the North Atlantic Ocean,we will have the Greenlandic coast on the right hand,Greenland is the largest island in the world 2,175,600 km,we are heading for the Prince Christian Sund which is 641 nautical miles

Thank you for travelling with us

Love

KS
