Our guide took us out into the water around Reykjavik to an island that is settled with puffins.

It was so fun to watch these birds. They must get so many visitors because they looked at us like they were saying “what are you looking at?”

I just couldn’t get enough of the puffins.

harbor, HARPA, Iceland, Reykjavik

Reykjavik is a beautiful city. There are some great sites to see. Like HARPA – the concert hall and conference center.

When it first went up, everyone here hated it. They thought it was ugly. Now, people like it and appreciate it as a landmark.

Reykjavik has a beautiful skyline too. We enjoyed it as we made our way out to see the puffins.

harbor, Iceland, Reykjavik

The next day on our journey around Iceland brought us to the capitol city. We went to the harbor.

The harbor is exactly what you would expect it to be – full of boats. And full of buildings.

But it had plenty of charm also.

harbor, Stockholm, Sweden

The harbor of Stockholm is beautiful. That’s about the only appropriate word for it. While we were in Stockholm, we walked along the harbor several times – sometimes even opting for walking rather than take the ferry or other public transportation, just so we could enjoy the harbor.
