I woke early, early this morning surrounded by fog! I couldn’t see a thing but several hours later about 5 am the dense fog was lifting.
When we woke at 8:30 when our coffee and tea was delivered, I took in the landscape surrounding this tiny hamlet.
We boarded the water shuttle close to 11 am hoping to miss the crowds. Oh well, I guess there were quite a few stragglers like us.
We had hoped to walk to the waterfall but I wanted to check out the church first. The Grundarfjörður Church was built in 1966. It was just a very short walk from the port. Unfortunately, it wasn’t open.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights are one of the highest in the world in Iceland. Displays of Pride can be seen in many of the little villages.
Kirkjufell Mountain in Snæfellsnes is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland.
As we walked toward the waterfall, we could see it in the distance and decided it wasn’t worth the two-hour walking trip.
We stopped at a cafe for cappuccino and cake. We sat in a room that was a craft room.
The Caribbean Princess in the harbor. Sometimes these images look photoshopped.
Some sites along the way!
Back on the ship I spotted the other waterfall.
My impressions! I have to say, I didn’t feel a warm welcome from the people of Iceland. But I can understand. 3000 passengers and 1000 crew descended on this village of 900. It must be extremely overwhelming. And I’m not sure they need our money. So some businesses were closed and there weren’t many Icelanders about!
Tomorrow another port and I signed up today for a shore excursion with Princess.
