Today we are sailing towards Akureyri, Iceland. It is gray and the wind is only moderate but there is a long swell which causes some discomfort to P.J. That’s why she has not been writing much lately. I do hope she does get a chance to upload some pictures later. Tonight we cross the Arctic Circle and the sun will only go below the horizon for about two hours.
We will be in three different Icelandic ports for the next four days. We’ve been to Iceland many times now. This is our second time on a cruise and we’ve also made stop-overs in Reykjavik on our way to and from Europe. Every time I visit, I want more. I look forward to this visit, hoping for sunny weather for a change. Tomorrow looks to be promising.
We went to a lecture by an Icelandic geologist. According to him, they repurposed their only prison, but they are building a new one! Right now there’s no prison and there’s a waiting list to get in.
