    Nice vid. I especially liked the sliding. Looks like a nice town. There are regular flights from Gatwick (aLondon airport) now. But in winter so far. I don’t fancy going in winter breeze

      Gatwick is not very pleasant at the best of times, especially bad in winter. However there aren't many mosquitos usually so netting isn't required.

    I went to Iceland middle of July and while I saw little midges, never saw mosquitoes. Nor that required mosquito netting, I certainly did not take one.

    Hi, my cruise has a weird schedule and I won’t make it to Akureyri until mid afternoon. This has made difficult to find a convenient affordable shore excursion. Do you remember seeing a place at port offering excursions to people coming out of the ship? Cheers

    We will be on the Sky Princess in June of next year visiting this port. Sorry about your luggage, we know a couple in Hawaii whose luggage didn't show up until 2 days before the end of the cruise. Were masks still mandatory in August of 2022? Quite a few people wearing them. We will have to try that slide.

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  Před 11 měsíci

      We don’t think they were mandatory, just recommended. I was in Covid quarantine for the last week of the cruise we went on before this one, so we didn’t want to take any chances. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  Před 11 měsíci +1

      As it turned out, we didn’t need them. before we went we had heard you may end them. Then the airline lost our luggage and we didn’t have the nets. When we got to Myvatn Geothermal Area on our tour, there were litters black files, but they didn’t bother us. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    is there anything to do at Akureyri port? Or it's better to get an excursion?

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  Před rokem +1

      You saw what we did. Of course part of the problem was that it rained all day. If we went there again, we would definitely take an excursion. It is a spit of land in a fjord, so there’s really no place to go other than through town. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

      there are no mosquitoes in Iceland, but we do have other kind of flies that do sometimes bite, but they don't carry any diseases and are mostly just in Mývatn and other humid places.

      @@francopp1124 we brought mosquito netting, but we never used it. So I don’t know. We got some on Amazon that went over our hats. Of course, we didn’t get our luggage on that cruise until we left Reykjavík, the last port in Iceland. We never needed it. We were there in August.
