Today was our whale watching tour – spoiler alert: we didn’t see any.

It has snowed all day – alternating between heavy and light. Ironically the one break in the weather came as we got on the whale watching boat. We sailed almost to the end of the fjord where Akureyri is situated but alas the whales were shy. Through brief breaks in the weather saw some of the very snowy landscape. Living in some of the tiny villages we passed would be tough this time of year!

Towards the opening of the fjord onto the North Sea it got a bit rough – we were fine but some folk on the boat sat outside in the cold for a very long time trying to not be seasick.

So here are a few pictures from the trip down the fjord. Last night in Akureyri tonight – tomorrow morning we fly back to Reykjavik – and stay at the Blue Lagoon for a night before heading for Amsterdam.
