So is Iceland green?

 Right on. Check out these pictures we took on deck. pretty, right?









We docked at Reykjavik today and me and my friends Ian and Randy went outside to take some pictures, fool around and basically unwind.

We had such a hellish day yesterday after 2 consecutive set forwards and one soapy-soapy. Let me explain. Set forward is when we adjust the clocks when we cross different time zones. Kind of like daylight savings time in the US. So for the past 2 days, we had to set our clocks one hour forward, meaning less sleep for everybody on the ship. It wouldn’t have been so bad except yesterday, we had to do soapy2x as well. It sounds like something a kid would say but that’s Holland America lingo for organizing the kitchen and scrubbing every inch of surface you see including walls and ceilings. It reminds me of what we did at culinary school every Friday after we finish service but this one is 10 times worse. We finished around 1 in the morning so it kinda figures why nobody is in the mood to go out and see Reykjavik. Including me. I’m just too tired.

Anyway, we’ll be coming back to Iceland in a few weeks but this time we’re docking at Akureyri. Hopefully, there’ll be time and more importantly, energy, to go out and see the sights. But for now, I’m going to bed. Heehee.
