We started our day as we ended the day before - in the hot tub, watching the bay. That morning, a seal was resting on a small rock, a pair of red-necked Phalaropes swam by, there was a loon (a Common Loon - just like in Minnesota) and the ubiquitous but pretty Eider Ducks.
We continued along the ring road, stopping to see these characters at a little roadside pullout:
Next up was the cute fishing town of Hvammstangi:
We stopped in a little grocery and I took a picture of a very typical grocery shelf. Matching the products to the little labels above or below, entirely in Icelandic, was often difficult, even though these varieties of skyr seem pretty obvious.
A few kilometers down an unassuming dirt road, Kolugljúfur Canyon suddenly opened up, revealing yet another spectacular waterfall, complete with parking area and hiking trails.
Then back to route 1 as we headed to Dalvik for the night.
