871 +/- 2

It was a light day. We didn't have to be anywhere until 2:00 which was nice I think we all needed a little of a lie in. We went to the settlement museum, where there was a site of a viking long house discovered under a hotel. They put up an exibit around it, and a pretty awesome one at that. They did their best to make it as interactive as possible, and I think they succeeded. There was panoramic views of how the area may have looked like when it was first settled with little videos intergrated into the picture to give the sense of various activities people may have done. They also had a lovely interactive table where you could push buttons and it would tell you what various parts of the long house was used for. The size of the house was a little astonishing, but then we are rememinded that atleast 10 people would have lived here, and all I can hear in my head is 'Have they never heard of personal space?'








Beyond that we just did our usual wandering down town, popping into shops and the like, lots and lots of walking. My knees are really starting to feel it. I can't wait to have access to ice, maybe the swelling will finally go down! But it is an early night, for we have an early morning. Bleh. Afsakið! Fyrirgefðu!
