After two days at sea, we have arrived in Akureyri, in the North of Iceland. We've been here before when it was cold with snow on the ground. We tried and failed to get to the Godafoss Waterfall on that occasion, this time we are in luck, since it is an included excursion for the cruise.
Godafoss waterfall is 45 minutes east of Akureyri by bus, and we were on the first set of buses out. It's well worth the drive.
There's a footbridge allowing visitors to access both sides of the falls and Peter and I used up the hour plus that we had at the site, getting back to the bus with just a few minutes to spare. A wonderful place made better by good weather.
Sadly we had to leave, and the bus took us back to Akureyri, with a stop at the botanical gardens on the way. We were back in time for lunch though.
I'm starting to come down with a cold, and my throat is a bit sore - so we decided to take it easy in the afternoon. Next stop Isafjordur tomorrow. Cool.
