Simon is still feeling a bit under the weather, but finally makes it out of the room. Good thing it is a sea day because I think he wouldn’t have been able to take too much. We attend a couple of trivia sessions and take it fairly easy, though Simon retires early, but again leaves me to my own devices.

Early this morning we crossed into the Arctic Circle for the second time (as we arrived in Akureyri we also crossed). I think we ended up with less than 2 hours of “sunset” and it didn’t even set until sometime early this morning.

I find myself now seeking out these other couples that I have met, having a great time just talking about life in general. There are several couples from the UK, including BA employees, teachers, ex-police officers, all sorts. I am finding it energising being able to talk to people, who might be slightly older than Simon and myself, but have had similar life experiences.
