Wednesday June 5, 2024 after our night of 10m swells 🤢 we arrived in Akureyri. It is considered the Capitol of the North with about 20,000 people. It was cold and snowy and the locals were saying they had net seen snow like this in June in over 20 years.
They have hearts as their stop lights that were put in after the 2008 financial crisis and decided to just keep them.
Due to all the snow a lot of mountain roads were closed and so our planned excursion to Myvatan baths was cancelled. Instead we went to Laufás to visit some turf houses of what would have been traditional homes in 1866 (which was when this was built).
After the turf farm, we headed to Godafoss waterfalls (waterfall of the gods). Such a beautiful place!

We are in a sheltered fjord today as our original spot is too choppy still with this North Atlantic storm we’ve been sailing through. This is a quiet beautiful town.

Day 4 we arrived in Patreksfjordur and went on a 7km hike (10km is including the walk through town to get to the trail head). It was a strenuous but beautiful hike up to a lake at the top. It was sunny and cool and we even found some mosquitos. This town has about 700 inhabitants and fishing and tourism are the biggest industry for them.

Hahaha it’s so windy you can’t even hear me! So what I’m saying is we are in Holmavik for a hike this morning. We hiked up a ridge and you could see the sheep farm down by the ocean. Good hike, easier than yesterday through basically sheep pasture. There is a storm coming in so we quickly went back to the ship after this hike and we will be dealing with 7-8m swells as we head to our next port. Gonna be a bumpy night!

The wind in Iceland is no lie. It was just sunny a moment ago and then the weather changed on a dime. Typical for Iceland.

If you're headed to Europe this summer and you don't have to skip the line tickets booked for major attractions, you'll regret it!
I always recommend skip-the-line tickets to my clients in any normal year, but this year, with Swifties and the Paris Olympics taking over, it's going to be busy, busy, busy.
You won't regret saving time by skipping those crazy lineups in the hot sun with crazy crowds.
And if you REALLY want to make the most of your time, see what you want, and at your own pace, I highly recommend booking small group tours or a private guide — It makes sightseeing and exploring so much better.
If you're still putting together your summer adventure to Europe and would like help planning + support WHILE you're traveling (A huge bonus with how busy it'll be this year), I'm just a DM away.

As promised, here is my video of a hawksbill sea turtle during on of my dives in Costa Rica. There is something special about watching them "fly" through the water. Absolutely amazing. 😍
