Akureyri

The first stop in Akureyri was obviously whoever had this picture on the wall:

Turned out to belong to the best ice cream parlor in the north! Farm sourced cream and milk ingredients, mixed into strwaberry, vanilla, or chocolate softserve with all kinds of toppings!



We took a stroll through the Botanical Gardens, which were beautiful! Highly recommended as an afternoon activity, free and open til 10pm.


These plants are anise I think...anyway they made the entire air around them smell like sweet licorice!


But watch out for these guys!


We "did the steps" a few times, partly from being lost, but partly because we wanted to. This is Akureyri Church.


On our walk to downtown from our guesthouse, Brekkusel, which was very nice and quiet.



We got dinner at a (topless) tapas bar called Goya (delicious), and then went for some local Kaldi beer at a pub that serves only local beer. On our walk home, we saw these guys again, surprise!!!!!
