Iceland road trip, day four.

iceland

On day four of our Iceland road trip, we woke up at our campsite to the adorable sounds of sheepies baaing. Check this cutie...

Day four was going to be a long driving day from the town of Myvatn to Thingvellir National Park, with a bit of stopping here and there along the way but nothing particular. Here's a common site- the "Common Snipe", spotted on the way out of Myvatn...

Yet another waterfall, Godafoss...

From the ring road we were lured into the town of Hvammstangi, thanks to signs promising of seals and these weird little rock people.

We stopped at the seal museum and walked out to a little beach there, which was pretty neat being more rocky than the previous beaches of sand, and nice for looking at the rocks and searching for sea glass. AND WE TOTALLY SAW A SEAL THERE. I didn't get a photo, as it bobbed back under the water rather quickly, but it sure was cute! I also made friends with a cat.

And then, back to the road, lots of rolling farm lands, and then dirt roads with loads of dramatic gorgeous scenery driving around inlets and mountains that I got no photos of because I was driving. This was not my day to be a photographer and share with you. On this day we also officially completed the Ring Road, as we were now on towards other roads... yeah, we did it only four days. That was fast, I would honestly suggest more time for such a journey! But the Golden Circle awaits on day five.
