Wow! you guys did so much. I think that will be a problem with us. We have so many things planned in our itinerary haha was there many sites where you had to walk a long way or was most pretty close to parking?

[@MattandRachelTravel]

There’s always so much to do with so little time. We get a little ambitious and try to fit in as much as we can which may not be the best thing, so don’t follow our example. Haha We found most major attractions were close walking distance from parking! When are you planning to go to Iceland?

[@doodsanddudes]

@@MattandRachelTravel haha very soon! We call our vacations “the amazing race” like the show. We are always trying to see to much. In greece we missed out on the marketplace and either of the kostas. And some other places. Life is short I guess we just want to hustle.

[@MattandRachelTravel]

We can relate! Hope you have a great trip. We love Iceland. 🇮🇸

[@doodsanddudes]

@@MattandRachelTravel we are excited. The anticipation is to much. There is a chance we miss out on the blue lagoon but amy booked us at most of the others around the country. Depends if there is another eruption.

[@oursacredfire]

Wow! The lighting isn’t the only thing that’s not that bright. Yes, if you go upstairs, there’s generally an upstairs. You guys seem so stoned. But I love it.

[@MattandRachelTravel]

We were surprised to find a set of stairs in the Airbnb because we thought it was all one level when we booked it. It was a nice little discovery. Glad we could provide a little entertainment and thanks for watching!

What time of the year did you guys visit Akureyri? We’re planning our trip in mid September, we’re just curious about the amount of sunlight.

[@MattandRachelTravel]

That’s exactly the time of year we went! Hours of sunlight are pretty much like a typical day, getting dark around 7PM Highly recommend going then!

[@sandyjolin6230]

Hello there ! Can you tell me where you went to thrift those great sweaters ? Thank you !

[@MattandRachelTravel]

At the Red Cross store in Akureyri! There’s a few thrift stores if you look around.

[@sandyjolin6230]

@@MattandRachelTravel Thank you! Going to Scotland, Norway and Iceland on a cruise this Saturday. I'm so excited ! I'll make sure to add this to my activity list :)
