Our anniversary breakfast was delivered early as we had a full day planned.
We set off for a cool little village- Siglufiordur. We spent a quick 10 minutes or so in the tender, then walked through the port and the village to our first destination: Frida, a chocolate shop.
We were very much enjoying the bright sunshine and mildish temperatures. Our guide pointed out cool buildings along the way and gave us a brief history of her town. One item of note: Camper Vans. Camper Vans are a thing in Iceland. Folks (mostly young folks) rent them in Reykjavik and then tour the countryside.
As usual, I took 600 or so photos…
At the very end of town we arrived at our destination.
As Chocolate shops go, it was okay. We tasted a few, took this pic in front of a cool wall of photos…look closely at the photos behind us and tell me what you see.
Leaving the less than satisfying “chocolate tasting” (I know, I’m a chocolate snob, but remember, this blog is a judgement free zone) …we proceeded down the street to Segull 67.
One trait I’ve been working on cultivating is not having expectations…when we make a plan to try something new…I hold any expectations in check…at least that’s the goal. I admit when we decided to visit Segull 67 my expectations were nonexistent. Segull 67 is a six year old brewery and event venue housed in a former fish processing plant. Unless you’ve just now stumbled onto this blog, you know I’m not a beer drinker. The last time I tried beer was Guinness in Ireland in 2016 and I was good with one sip. The time before that I was in my twenties. Anyway, we had a wonderful experience. The owner Martin, is delightful and his assistant is quite charming. Can’t really ask for anything more. Tim did the beer tastings and pronounced the beer of good quality.
On our way back to the ship we walked past the sod house again.
We had a visit to the Herring Museum planned, but I called an audible and after lunch headed to the ship’s salon for a manicure and blowout.
The overall evening vibe onboard Endeavor is most definitely casual, but we donned our fancy togs and set off to celebrate our anniversary. First stop the Cove.
Our anniversary was made more special with a Vintage Room dinner. These are exceptional wine pairing dinners offered once a cruise on Crystal ships.
The night was still young so we headed up to the Palm Court to enjoy Ana and Umberto. These two are an entertainment force to reckon with.
Back in our cabin, we waited for the sun to set on another wonderful year together❤️
