Museum and swimming

Hello again,

Today we went to a museum in Rakyavik about the early history of Iceland. We had a audio guide as we went round all of the wax works in the museum. Euan loved it but I wasn't as keen but it was made up with the massive icecream we had afterwards.

In the museum the wax works were so realistic that when we were sat down watching a video a man that worked there went right up to the man next to me and started clapping and clicking in front of his eyes and he did not blink. It was so realistic we really believed it was a real man when really it was a wax work. I had to feel him to make sure that he wasn't real because he looked like he was.

We then came home for lunch instead of having a packed lunch as a treat but before this we went to tourist information where we booked ourselves on a quad biking trip tomorrow! We had just decided not to go snow mobiling as it was too expensive so we were extatic when we realised we could do this instead. This does mean that we will be having our easter egg hunt on monday instead but its worth it!

After lunch, once Mum and Dad had let their dinner go down we went to the swimming pool at the end of the street. Neve and I went down the slides. I did 6 lengths of a 50m pool. On my 5th length a boy said something in Icelandic and I said "English" and he said "do you want to play basketball?". I said "No thank you" then carried on with my lengths. Once I had finished my lengths I wandered by and another boy asked me "do you want to play basketball?", I said "yes" and played a 2 on 2 game of basketball. I won!
Sorry no pictures today definately some tomorrow though I hope. Thanks for the comment lots of love Neve and Euan xxxx
I enjoyed it too. Hope you enjoyed the blog post that Neve and I have written. :)xxxx

  1. Another hectic day - glad you liked the wax works Euan and you were rewarded with that massive icecream Neve! Congrats on winning the basket ball Euan - they all sound very friendly there. I'm sure you'll both love the quad biking. Benjamin and Juliette had a go at Center Parcs - Benjamin had done it before but it was Juliette's first time. They both loved it. It was very well organised with safety training to start with and very well supervised much to the relief of N & G! Sure yours will be too. Have a wonderful day - I'm sure those Easter Eggs won't mind waiting another day to be found! I've spent the day washing, shopping and making desserts for Monday - a trifle (with sherry of course!) and an apple pie. Going to put a "Happy Birthday" musical candle on top of the apple pie as didn't have time to make Grandad a cake! Love hearing all your news and look forward to your next posting. I'm off to bed now - night, night and lots of love from N & G xx
