Today again was a trip by bus to the plan, but this time not so long. The drive to Husavik takes on schedule, an hour and 15 minutes. Even the sight of our "bus", a 9-seater with a trailer for cargo and baggage, brought the children back to marvel. When she then realized that we were the only passengers who are entered in Akureyri, they could not believe it anymore. We drove then the 90 miles through without even hold only once. Unfortunately the weather was not as desired, until it rained all day long and short interruptions in Husavik was crying the sky. Now, flexibility was needed. Our first stop was a small bakery, we took a second breakfast with excellent baked goods. After that we had tried our luck at whale museum, which is actually closed in winter but opened today. Since the children had experienced in Akureyri at the tourist information that it is the animal from the city for a Bottlenose Whale, of course they were very eager to learn something about this being. Inside the museum was interested then, in particular through the many original skeletons, once awakened, and we also found the Bottlenose Whale. The time flew by and the rain was soon forgotten, and completely irrelevant. After we had seen everything and answered all questions about Wal for today were we were full of much new knowledge about these animals towards the exit, where of course the gift shop was targeted. Now for the children was of course the fumble release. What looks incredibly great and costs little scary in my pocket money? The decision was made only when the possibility of Waladoption was known. Since this is not cheap, however, we had the idea that we do not adopt for souvenirs and a whale. We have We then decided on a minke whale, which now has two aunts and two uncles. At this course, adoption is a picture of the "child" and a certificate. The amount to be paid for the adoption is, of course, must be donated to the Whale Museum. Now, however, there was a new problem, which was just as time consuming as the search for the perfect gift: What should the baby's name? No one remembered a fitting name. Beate had the idea that you could bastenl from the first two letters of our names one Walnamen. However, if one has six letters three times the e, this is again problematic. Desirée then had the idea of the whale for our dogs to name, it was then Sammy and Bobby from the "Sambo". The floats now so any where around Iceland in the North Atlantic, waiting for his baptism.
We had in the meantime talk to the staff of the museum, which comes from Stuttgart and therefore naturally speaks German. They then gave us a phone call with the owner of the penis museum out and made an appointment. We were able to walk 15 minutes later, two doors down and look at one of the most unusual collection in the world. Thus we have the total rainy day in Husavik dry and very educational spending and could finish our visit there in the gas station with a small snack. Finally our bus came also over time, this time without a trailer, and brought us back non-stop, back to Akureyri. There, the weather had changed a lot for the better.
Now we were all very excited about the Christmas House, which we have experienced in the morning. After looking at the map we had to find that this house is located 10 km outside the city and for such a march tonight had no more desire, so we decided to take a taxi. Arriving at the Christmas House, at first we thought we would be wrong, because according to the description in the brochure we were expecting at least two times as large building. Given the size of the house came the question of the taxi driver whether he should wait, very convenient, unfortunately ran the clock in a taxi faster than us in the Christmas House and so this visit developed into a very expensive trip, which ended after just an hour back at the hotel.
We then visited the supermarket again and spent the rest of the evening by reviewing the images taken during the day and the writing of the diaries.
