Its a day off the bike day! I still have to do some maintenance on the chain which is not getting any better. Luckily it is only 200km to Seydisfjordur and the ferry, if I can get to mainland Europe it will be no problem.

Tuesdays at home is a day for walking so I am keeping up the tradition and following some of the walking routes around Myvatn,

I have picked out a ...

This was a great week!

Our next stop was the nature baths – very comfy swimming in perfect temperature water. The water has the silty-diatom feel to it (there is a diatom plant near by), and we thoroughly enjoyed bobbing about in the water. We stayed about an hour ...

Great day, with wonderful sunshine and warm weather. And midges!

Departed after breakfast, heading for Lake Myvatn. Started driving the opposite direction we had gone before. First stop was bird museum, though we did not go in. We did admire the swans swimming in the lake near by and wondered if they are migratory. Who has ever seen a swan flying? We decided it must be mysterious, unknown even to ornithologists.
