If it has been raining for a few days, it's best not to go whale watching. you won't see any whales and you will have spent a lot of money for nothing. If going whale watching in Husavik, call before making your way up there to avoid disappointment !

Today I Learned That..

at a festival, people will locate people from the same camping as them and then start the flirting
