Akureyri, Iceland

Another night on the ship (this time calm) followed by another excursion. We did touch the Arctic Circle last night, which was a big deal for Ted!

The first stop was at this beautiful waterfall
We walked to some caves that formed from lava
Next stop: sulphuric pools – warm and stinky
Last stop: hot springs. Since we only had 1 hour here we decided not to go in…..

It was very cold and windy today. I can’t get over the fact that this is normal summer weather!

Westfjords

Isafjördur is the little town where our cruise ship ankered this morning. Ted & I and another couple took a great tour to explore the Westfjords, which ended up as a 7 hour 4-wheel roadtrip and – yes, we needed that 4-wheeler! Mountains up and down, bridges and tunnels and miles and miles on dirt roads!

The landscape is incredibly beautiful, breathtaking! We really lucked out with the weather today, cold but sunny, almost no wind!
