Where has the time gone? Today is our final day in Reykjavik and disembarcation of the NCL Prima. We have had such a wonderful time on our cruise and I am sad that it is over.
First we dine at The Commodore Room, one of the dining rooms included in the ticket price of the Norweigian Prima. I then get "Me" to go to the nightclub on board so we can go to our first RAVE! It was something!
The next morning we are up bright and early to be some of the first to leave the ship. We had priority boarding so we were able to do this. We did this because we were worried about taxi service back into town since we had problems getting a taxi on other days.
We have booked a room at Local 101 Hotel. Our flight doesn't leave for some eight hours and we do have several pieces of heavy luggage. Also the weather has turned cold, windy and rainy. We felt that having a room would serve us well and boy did it!
The Local 101 cost us about $120.00 (USD) which was almost the same as storage for our bags. Having this room that included breakfast was great.
We were able to go out and explore more of Reykjavik without our bags, we got a very nice breakfast and had a place to come back to, shower and get things ready for a flight out that evening. We counted it as a win!
We had several hours to explore more of Reykjavik so after getting things settled at The Local 101 we set out! It was a cold day! Thank goodness for my NorthFace jacket! We visited the City Hall and then stopped to get a coffee and enjoy warming up and people watching. We then set out for the Harpa Concert Hall. This is a must see while in Reykjavik! The inside and out are spectacular. While we were there we even got to hear a POP UP singing by some of the performers!
After our visit to the Harpa Concert Hall we walked along the sea side down to see The Sun Voyager, one of the most visited and photographed places in Reykjavik. We had a great time stacking rocks and taking pictures.
After this we started walking to visit The Whale Museum. I had wanted to go to this museum on our first visit but there was not enough time. As we started to walk the rain really started to come down! :( We soon brightened though because we saw something we had never seen before! A Conveyor Belt Sushi! We had seen this on TH-cam but never in real life! It opened in 10 minutes so we decided to go to the Conveyor Belt Sushi and not the Whale Museum.
The Conveyor Belt Sushi was such a fun experience!
Good News! "Me" said we could still go to the Whale Museum! So off we went!
The Whale Museum was good. A little expensive for what it actually was but it was a good experience.
We headed back to The Local 101 for a hot shower, much needed to warm up, repacked for our flight and even had time to rest and talk with one of the owners. He pointed out that The Local 101 was the second hotel ever opened in Reykjavik. It has had several owners but the newest owners have made many upgrades! It is very nice and well worth booking as your hotel while in Reykjavik.
We also loved the tiny little elevator a Single Door Schindler. If you go to The Local 101 don't miss it!
We had such a wonderful trip! Thank you so much for coming along with us! We appreciate everyone who has watched, liked and subscribed! You Rock!

Thank you for sharing this video , this is a beautiful place.
I'm so impressed with how well y'all travel without being fluent in the different languages. You two are inspiring!
Thanks for taking us along. 🙂
Thank you for your sweet comment! The language barrier really hasn’t been too bad. We do try to know a few key words and phrases when we visit a new country so that helps! ❤ Mrs. Karnes
Your support means the world to us! We're grateful to have you join us on our travel journey. 🥰
A “Rave” is what they called it on the ship! Actually, “White Rave”! It was something!
The whale 🐳 museum was fun! I loved all the scale models! Thanks for watching sweet friend! ❤ Mrs. Karnes
Sounds like you had an amazing time! Glad you enjoyed the whale museum!
Making me want to eat well! Looks amazing God bless you both. I got My dream camper this week! So I will be posting travel videos and worship music again
I can’t wait to see where you will go! ❤ Mrs. Karnes
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you got your dream camper. Can't wait to see your travel and worship music videos! Let me know when you post so I don't miss it!

What a beautiful trip. One of these days I'll take a cruise however, getting out into the land is where it's at!!!! Happy Travels. ✈🌻
We liked the cruise because we didn't have to pack and unpack but time constraints are real on a cruise. We have decided we like creating our own adventures more than cruising. ✈️
It's my dream to travel all over the world and watching you guys enjoying so much my craving for delicious food of different part of the world is increasing,
Love the way you show this in video

Anytime i watch your vedios i just see myself travelling to.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that my videos spark your wanderlust. 🥰
The view from the ship is so pretty! I have always wanted to visit Iceland but haven't gotten there yet. My mom loves to cruise with NCL.
Thank you for watching, your kind comment, and for being a new subscriber! This was our second trip to Iceland, but our first time cruising with NCL. The Prima is a beautiful ship and it afforded some great views.
The Gin was the best LOL And you are getting a tan Sir
Gin ALWAYS! I do love a good gin! And no tan, a sunburn! LOL! Thank you for watching! 🥰
I find RAVE a bit odd...or maybe because I'm too old for that, too, haha.
Does the whale museum contain bones of the blue whale? I would like to see how big it is! It's good that you had a good time despite the rain. You're able to experience many things 😄
There is a blue whale skeleton there. It is 25m long. I wish I could have taken you along to see it. I do hope you will get to see one some day! Thank you for watching sweet friend. It's always fun to hear from you! Mrs. Karnes 🥰
How many cruises do you guys take per year? What makes it your preferred way of travel?
We cruised a lot before Covid but have actually found we like making our own travel plans better. It gives us the freedom to stay places longer and visit places that cruise ships can't reach. We do still like an occasional cruise and a cruise was the best way to see the fjords of Norway.
