Akureyri, Iceland

We did our own walking tour today in Akureyri. First stop was at Lystigardur, a botanical garden. Beautiful grounds, flowers and trees. 

 This was also the sight of some of the Icelandic National Day events including a parade. First we had a snack at one of the food trucks.
 We shared the Smasburger. It was thin patty on top of crushed Doritos and then smothered in nacho cheese. There were also some very old carnival games including one that was like children's roulette. Angie found a good spot to watch the parade and then we joined in as it headed into the botanical gardens. We watched the ceremony including a great choir. Then it was time to walk back to the ship. 





One of the best food items I had when I sailed on this ship in January was the focaccia pizza. Thick crust pizza, crispy on the bottom with lots of cheese and toppings. The pepperoni didn't disappoint. The only table I could find was by the burger bar. Usually this place is packed. But not a soul there except me and the chefs.

There will be more games of Quirkle this afternoon. 
And then dinner after that. Tomorrow is a sea day.
