around akureyri

We had gorgeous weather our first day in Iceland. Granted, it was cold, but the sun was out, a nice welcome to us.

The Icelanders sure love their art deco churches. Between this one and Hallgrímskirkja, they sure like to make a point with them.

After wandering around town, we stocked up on supplies for our days ahead at the lake, then had a tasty dinner at La Vita é Bella, an Italian restaurant.

Oh, and we got lucky and had our guest house to ourselves for the night; not even the owner was there (such are the perks of traveling off season). There was a large crowd but they checked out earlier in the day, which thrilled Lara, the owner. They were quite messy.
