Isafjord, Iceland

Today we spent the day in Isafjord, Iceland. This small town of 3,000 is in the northwest corner of Iceland.

In general, the weather is kinda crummy - maybe high 40's and rainy. However, it worked out OK for us.

We had a boat excursion that took us to Vigur island - about a 40 minute boat ride. There, it wasn't raining and we had a nice walk around the island which is 2 kilometers long and 500 meters wide.

We saw eider ducks, seals and the dairy cows owned by the single family that inhabits the little island. We saw how the clean up the eider down for use in comforters and sleeping bags.

They also served us cakes/breads and tea in their home. The walk was a little tough for both of us - but we made it without too much difficulty. Perhaps one of the more interesting excursions so far.

The rest of the day we just rested. Ugh - second at trivia again - this time by just 1/2 point. Tonight's entertainment includes two performers who weren't very good the first time around - so we'll probably skip the show and maybe catch a movie on TV.

Today was roughly the halfway point in our cruise. So far, so good.
