Day 5: Departure day. The final moments of this trip were spent reminiscing on this past week and all the adventures I went on. It was an unforgettable experience for me and my palate.
I indulged in local foods, ranging from hákarl, a fermented Greenland shark hung to dry for four to five months, minke whale, rich in protein and is not endangered, lamb pâté served on rye bread; and my personal favorite the pylsur, Icelandic hotdog. These are just a few of the meals I ate which were Icelandic staples.
As I walk away from this trip, I can truly say that I immersed myself fully in Nordic culture and cuisine. I am appreciative and respectful to Icelandic way of life and will remember this trip always.
As they say in Icelandic, bless bless!
