Akureyri, Iceland

Day 9 of our Iceland Cruise,

After 2 days at sea,

we arrive in Akureyri, Iceland

with a fantastic view of snowy fjords,

the longest fjords in Iceland.

(fjords are a long narrow deep inlet 

between high cliffs typically

 formed by submergence 

of a glaciated valley)

We made 3 stops in Iceland.

The language spoken in Akureyri 

is Icelandic and English.

The currency is Króna 

Conversation: 1 Króna = .15 Cdn. 

Very expensive to buy there.

Annie and I got our breakfast and 

came to the Observation Deck

to see the view as the ship was

approaching land. Annie had a

cinnamon bun every morning. 

Each place before docking, it takes a certain

pilot/captain, from the place, to park the ship. 

where we are landing. 

So this small boat brings the person out to

the ship and he/she drives the cruise ship to its

place at the dock. We saw this at each dock.

6 deg. C.

The lovely couple - Martin and Suzanne

Breakfast on the ship before 

we ventured out to visit around.

A souvenir from Norway.

We were in walking distance from downtown.

We didn't climb the stairs to this church.

We visited the Botanical Gardens,

Uphill all the way 😀
