Still in Iceland

The harbour is full of these eider-ducks


The lake in the city centre was yesterday full of these elegantly raffish waterfowl

and I'd like to know what they are; they were gone today.

We got up at 1pm, met up with James's friends Brendan and Lauren, and breakfasted on lobster soup and minke-whale kebab in the self-proclaimed Best Lobster Soup Shop In The World, before wandering around the town some more




The sun set elegantly over the sea, we headed to a supermarket and got the makings of cup-cakes, and plan for an evening involving mostly baking.

I was very pleased by the eider ducks and associated ducklings in Northern Irelands, much to CVolin's amusement - but I'd never seen them outside of a zoo or bird reservation before!

Have a lovely time, amd dead jealous
