Akureryi, Day 2

Here are some pictures from wandering around Akureryi.


This is the view from the apartment. I have some pictures without fog that I will post later!


Friendly neighbourhood kitty. This guy would come running out to see us when we walked by. So cute. Akureryi was more a cat place than dog place. We saw few dogs, but tons of cats. One house had a huge catio and we saw at least 10 cats hanging around inside.



Colourful apartments near where we stayed



A cool trailer. There are some really neat trailers in Iceland.


I loved this house. 

I'd have liked to see more of this house. It was right at the top of a cliff. 


Icelandic Jehovah's Witness



Accordion player outside the Glerartorg mall, one of the bigger malls in Iceland. Not very big by North American standards, but it had a great Netto that stocked lots of GF and other allergy friendly foods. There was also a lovely little health food store called Heilsuhusid that also stocked some wonderful GF food. I bought a lot of stuff there to take with me. I wish I had bought more to bring home!



We learned that the Icelandic word for wheat is "hvede"


Two headed sheep. This guy lived outside a very cool shop. It's a local artists' cooperative. The artists try to recycle & upcycle as much as possible. Lots of fun things. 


The view from the apartment with marginally less fog. 




If you look closely you can see there are mountains in the background. 





Our first meal cooked at "home"! Chicken stir fry, yum
