I left a little early. I arrived thirsty and had to get water from some tourist and I got sick of wandering around so I went to the Thor Hyerdahl Museum after an hour and a half or so. A lot of walking.

As his name so clearly shows He knows what's good to eat And that certain kinds of fish Are known to be a treat He never errs as fast he takes His transatlantic bearing His eyes alive, his ears alert His nostrils bravely flaring! I'm not adverse To be so terse And boldly take my daring Far enough to say aloud, "The answer is so glaring!" The gull I'd be is plain to see As any staring skull The one that I would choose to be Would be the herring gull!
