Creating memories.....one vacation at a time!

ARCTIC CIRCLE CEREMONY ON OUR WAY TO SEYDISFJORDUR
We left Husavik and at 9:15 pm our ship touched  the Arctic Circle at the island Grimsey.  That evening we celebrated our crossing on the pool deck with schnapps and Icelandic specialties.  We all received certificates commemorating touching the Arctic Circle.   We arrived in Seydisfjordur,
 East Iceland, at 12 pm the following day

Seydisfjordur is a town of 668 people in the fjord with the same name.   From there we spent the day exploring East Iceland.  The ferry Norraena sails to Denmark from this town.  The trip takes 3 days.  This is a view of the town as we entered the harbor.

HALLORMSSTADASKOGUR NATIONAL FOREST
In Iceland there is a joke.  How can someone see you  in a forest?  Just stand up!  The trees in Iceland are very small but they do have  this national forest that we visited.

It was strange to see tall trees after seeing so many little trees.   Left:  One of the trees was carved with this face.

The wildflowers were beautiful.  Lupine  is in abundance.

Lake Lagarfljot is next to the park.  

VOK BATHS
Because of Iceland’s tradition of soaking in geothermal pools, we enjoyed this tradition at Vok Baths.   They have three floating infinity pools each warmer than the other one.    Located on the banks of Urrivatyn  lake, Vox Baths is only a few minutes from the town of Egilsstadir.  A must thing to do when you are in Iceland!
