Sep 3. Reykjavik, Iceland. Mostly cloudy, some rain at the waterfall. Highs of about 8 Celsius, felt like 5.
Our full day tour of Iceland’s Golden Circle, started with a scenic drive to Thingvellir National Park. In this breathtaking rift valley visitors can walk directly between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
We continued to Gullfoss Waterfall, whose rushing water tumbles over a natural tiered ‘staircase’ to plunge down a deep ravine.
Next we visited Strokkur, an explosive geyser whose steamy spouts sometimes blast 60 feet skyward.
Then we stopped at Hellisheidi, the world’s second largest power station, which employs geothermal forces from three volcanic systems dating back 11,000 years. ...12 0View Instagram post by terryaskeartquiltsOpen post by terryaskeartquilts with ID 18023485286702452Sep 1

Aug 31. Cobh, Ireland is a small picturesque seaside town. It was the last port where passengers boarded the ill-fated Titanic in 1912. Our local guide walked us around Cobh harbour. We saw the remains of the pier from where passengers set sail. We saw the old office buildings of the White Star and Cunard Lines. We also visited St. Colman’s Cathedral, an ornately detailed neo-Gothic building. The Titanic Experience, located in the historic White Star Line Building, was educational, immersive, and genuinely moving. It included real passenger stories related by knowledgeable guides and immersive audio visual displays. ...11 0View Instagram post by terryaskeartquiltsOpen post by terryaskeartquilts with ID 18436158448122151Aug 31

Aug 30. Continued. We visited the Abbotsbury Swannery where several hundred mute swans reside. In addition to the white adult swans, we saw a few grey cygnets, a couple of black swans and other waterfowl including ducks, gulls and Canada geese. We were there for the noon mass feeding of the swans where some of the swans swarm the wheelbarrow full of birdseed. ...7 2View Instagram post by terryaskeartquiltsOpen post by terryaskeartquilts with ID 18153181150448502Aug 31

Aug 30. Portland, England. We travelled to the little village of Abbotsbury, home to a lovely subtropical garden, and a swannery where over 1,000 mute swans take shelter.
In the garden, we wandered the paths admiring the plants and sculptures. We climbed the steep hillside to the Viewpoint where we could look down on the Dorset coastline far below. ...17 0View Instagram post by terryaskeartquiltsOpen post by terryaskeartquilts with ID 18369506935208036Aug 30

Aug 28. London at night.
We did an open top evening bus tour with a live guide. It was interesting to see the City illuminated at night. We did have some rain but the temperature was comfortable. The clouds even cleared briefly to provide a glimpse of the full moon over the Tower Bridge. ...14 2View Instagram post by terryaskeartquiltsOpen post by terryaskeartquilts with ID 18020329259863393Aug 29

Aug 28. London.
Our last day in London. We spent the morning walking. We wandered through Fitzrovia, SoHo, Chinatown, the Theatre District, Piccadilly Circus, past Canada House, Trafalgar Square, The Mall, Buckingham Palace and we saw the Changing of the Guard.
Then back to the hotel to pack, as tomorrow we transfer to our ship for our Iceland cruise. ...20 3Tags
