We went for a short trip downtown Reykjavik after breakfast, but the rain was heavy – a short 10min walk got us completely wet. Time for a museum!

We visited Perlan, a nice museum about Iceland’s nature and geological history. The kids loved it. We watched a beautiful movie in the planetarium with spectacular images of northern lights, went inside a glacier, ate lunch with a nice view over the city.

Mid afternoon, we headed towards Borgarnes, north of Reykjavik. We understood on the way that our accommodation had been double-booked. Fortunately the owner quickly found us another solution, in a farm near the shore. The kids spent some time with the owners and the animals of the farm. After diner, we went for a walk along a few beautiful beaches covered with black sand.
