At the end of our stay in Iceland, we take a final spin through Reykjavik, making several stops on our way to the airport, including a lunch of Icelandic meat soup at the Viking World Museum in Keflavik. We drive through the city to Perlan (the Pearl) nature exploratorium overlooking the city and climb to the roof to view the area.

We next drive over to the President of Iceland's residence. The President position in Iceland is primarily a ceremonial job, the President is the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of the government with a unicameral (one chamber) Parliament.

We leave the President's house and drive toward the Viking World Museum near the airport, watching the steam from the Blue Lagoon in the distance.

The Viking World Museum, in addition be being beautifully located on the edge of the water, explains the story and history of the Iceland and the Vikings, with a Viking ship in the center of the museum. After exploring the location, we have a traditional Icelandic meat soup for lunch.
