We stopped to stretch our legs and eat our gas station sandwiches at Rjúkandifoss. We have seen so many falls that we are now just stopping and thinking, “Yep. More falling water.”
It was here Keagan asked if we were going to eat again. He needed to know if rationing his lamb jerkey was necessary or if another meal was on the horizon.
We stopped again about a half hour down another gravel road to see Studlagil Canyon. This would have been a gorgeous hike, but we were on a timeline and couldn’t chance missing our boat.
We made it to Huvasik, the whale watching capitol of Europe, in time to grab a meal of fish and chips. Maybe not the smartest meal choice with a boat ride on choppy water ahead of us, but we live dangerously.
This quaint fishing village has two things going for it: whales and fishing. We did all it had to offer.
Six months ago I asked Keagan where he wanted to go for summer vacation, and he said he wanted to go whale watching. Hence, our trip to Iceland. Whales are almost always seen here in June to feed before they migrate south to give birth.
We were given special suits to protect us from the wind and rain. With this thing on, we were very comfortable out on the open water.
And whales we saw! And seals and puffins. What a great day trip!
Gas station food is our friend, so we stopped for snacks on our way to house number three in Akureyi. The sun came out at 8:30, and we had to stop to take a few pictures.
We have one happy boy! I think our next trip needs to be a food focused destination, though.
