    Nice vid. I especially liked the sliding. Looks like a nice town. There are regular flights from Gatwick (aLondon airport) now. But in winter so far. I don’t fancy going in winter breeze

      Gatwick is not very pleasant at the best of times, especially bad in winter. However there aren't many mosquitos usually so netting isn't required.

    When I went up the church steps there were fire officers in full kit, including oxygen cylinders, running up and down the steps for training.

    Hi, my cruise has a weird schedule and I won’t make it to Akureyri until mid afternoon. This has made difficult to find a convenient affordable shore excursion. Do you remember seeing a place at port offering excursions to people coming out of the ship? Cheers

    I went to Iceland middle of July and while I saw little midges, never saw mosquitoes. Nor that required mosquito netting, I certainly did not take one.

    We will be on the Sky Princess in June of next year visiting this port. Sorry about your luggage, we know a couple in Hawaii whose luggage didn't show up until 2 days before the end of the cruise. Were masks still mandatory in August of 2022? Quite a few people wearing them. We will have to try that slide.

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว

      We don’t think they were mandatory, just recommended. I was in Covid quarantine for the last week of the cruise we went on before this one, so we didn’t want to take any chances. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    is there anything to do at Akureyri port? Or it's better to get an excursion?

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You saw what we did. Of course part of the problem was that it rained all day. If we went there again, we would definitely take an excursion. It is a spit of land in a fjord, so there’s really no place to go other than through town. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

      As it turned out, we didn’t need them. before we went we had heard you may end them. Then the airline lost our luggage and we didn’t have the nets. When we got to Myvatn Geothermal Area on our tour, there were litters black files, but they didn’t bother us. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
