Snow in Akureyri

In Akureyri, Iceland, which looks out over the Arctic Ocean, snow is perfectly normal for September 11. Grr So here we are looking out our hotel window at the snow/rain coming down.

View from our window.

 

Our warm hotel room smells slightly of sulfur. Bet you did not know that there are two kinds of water in Iceland. Cold water comes from a normal source, but hot water comes from one of their hot water springs. Anytime you run hot water you will smell sulfur. Dishes rinsed in hot water seem to smell of hot water too. I think the radiators have this hot water too. Cheap energy!

It's comforting to bask away in the warmth of our room viewing the photos we took in the south of Iceland a couple of days ago when it was sunny and relatively warm, like 40.
