Visiting Isafjordur, Iceland

Sabrina, Granddaughter,  in a Lupin field

Last June, Day 10 of our cruise,

 we visited the city of Isafjordur, Iceland.

There is 24 hours of daylight here in 

 Summer,  known as the Midnight Sun.

On June 9th, the day we were there,

sunrise 3:22am and sunset 10:58pm.

Isafjordur is situated on

 the largest fjord in Iceland.

Suzanne, Martin and Sabrina went

 hiking to the Isafjordur Waterfall. 

Lupins everywhere

More Lupins

Large Fishing industry

Fish farms

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 😀
