Day 4: Whale Watching and Relaxation in Myvatn (North)

Today we drove much less than yesterday. 3 short trips of ~40min each. We left Akureyri towards Goðafoss (Waterfall), then we went up to a harbor city in the very north called HÚSAVÍK for whale watching. Then we drove to a relaxing thermal bath in Mývatn and we overnighted in a cabin guesthouse between the lake Mytvan and a dorment volcano.

First we said goodbye to Akureyri
We learned about this song while we were in Akureyri. Beautiful, matches the place!

Next stop: Húsavík in the north edge of Iceland

Wolffish again. Not as good as the previous 2 ones, but still tasty.
This is what we came here for… whale watching!
Here we go.

Then we went to have a local dinner. Best Fish&Chips!

Finally we arrived at our cottage… these two on the picture did not like that much…

In total we were around 2h in the car. A very relaxing day with lots of excitement when seeing the whales and puffins!

This blue dot is where we will sleep tonight, Myvatn
