When I went up the church steps there were fire officers in full kit, including oxygen cylinders, running up and down the steps for training.

[@PortMonkeys]

Good training. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@sianjasper2153]

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

[@PortMonkeys]

. We would not go in winter. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@jaybee2402]

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.

Thanks for sharing did you need the mosquito net? I never bothered with one when I was in Iceland

[@PortMonkeys]

No, we never used them. Although near the mud baths we did run into some small blackflies. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@AidaJof]

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.

[@PortMonkeys]

We had read it somewhere but we did not see any either. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

There aren’t any mosquitoes in Iceland.

[@jeddacath]

Thanks for the vid. Will be going there on a cruise soon. Looks like not much to do?

[@PortMonkeys]

It's a small town. We also took a tour that day. It was more interesting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIvWaHZphMR3iqMsi=zaQXVIZlBeG8Q5Vw Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

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

[@PortMonkeys]

We remember someone selling tours in front of the Hof Cultural and Convention Center. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

@@PortMonkeys thanks

[@Colombia20102018]

Did you see a bookstore somewhere, or a big souvenir store where to buy a book about Iceland?

[@PortMonkeys]

Many of the shops we went in sold books about Iceland. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@brianbollan7069]

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]

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.

[@ZurriyetBlogs]

Perfect

[@PortMonkeys]

Thank you! Going there again next month. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@jolewis-brown6608]

Did you look at the traffic lights ❤

[@PortMonkeys]

Yes. We put them in one of our videos.

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

In all my years I’ve never needed a mosquito net in Iceland …we love the botanical gardens there worth a walk

[@PortMonkeys]

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.

that troll at 7:40 is called Grýla. She is the mother of the 13 santa clauses (Yule lads)

Good to know. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@laurenlovemylife]

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

[@PortMonkeys]

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.

[@francopp1124]

Did you need the mosquito netting and if so how did you use it?

Unfortunately Akureyri to me looks like a town without a soul whatsoever. But I'll find out for myself this summer ....

[@PortMonkeys]

It’s a nice little town, but small. We took a tour from there. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

They don’t have mosquitos in Iceland.

Now we know. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@ElChico905]

We were told that Iceland is mosquito free. ...

[@PortMonkeys]

We were told there may be mosquitoes. There were little black flies that were very annoying. But it was a rare occurrence. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@viktoriafonn6493]

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]

Do you recommend the use of mosquito netting in June?

[@PortMonkeys]

@@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.
