Seydisfjordur - What a Day

Loved our visit to Seydisfjordur in East Island. Walked off the ship & I, with 2 others, found the driver for the Puffin Adventures excursion in Hafnarholmi, maybe an hour plus away. I decided to forego the RIB boat ride and stayed in the marina to photograph the puffins. Back in Seydi, I went into the cute town of Seydisfjordur. It's walkable & charming. And after a half hour of cruising through the fjord, I saw a new lighthouse - my 629th lighthouse seen/identified worldwide. A gorgeous sunset at almost midnight ended a fabulous day!

A half hour or so after Mars left, I finally got to see a new lighthouse! (Brimnes, 306th).  Sometimes even I'm surprised.
