Isafjordur

 We FINALLY put our feet down in Iceland.

Monday we were in Isafjordur. We were supposed

to dock but another ship got in ahead of us and

took our parking place. I appeared the tender

operation was going to be long but it was not

so bad.

 The weather was not looking great but when

we got ashore it was very nice, temperature

in 50’s. Just before we boarded return tender

it felt like temp dropped at least 5 degrees.

We definitely chose the right time to go ashore.

 Isafjordur is a small town surrounded by

mountains and ocean. We walked through

town which was very nice. The local Lutheran

Church was a most unusual design with

cemetery right out front. A former hospital

had been converted to a library and cultural

center.

 I thought tendering was not our best option,

but after walking the deck after dinner I’m

glad we were in the harbor.

 There are places you cannot describe, you

cannot photograph, you can only experience.

This is one of them. And this is only our first

port in Iceland!
