Got up this morning, at around 7:00 to get ready for some exploring around lake Myvatn - supposedly a duck birding paradise. We've been camping here for 2 days and have only seen one or two kinds but ok... off we go.

We ended up seeing quite a few more types of ducks and some swans as well. I will put pictures up later... As we went around the lake, we did a few hiking trails to see if we could find a gyrfalcon or an elusive ptarmigan. No luck, we still have not seen those two birds.

After our tour around the lake, we had a "famous hotdog". There really is nothing special about it! She actually cooked it in a microwave! Really?! We will have to try again in Reykivic!
We left the lake area for our new destination - we are headed west to the west fjords. We stopped at another waterfall... lots of waterfalls here! Lots of rivers too - and not tiny rivers either!

We pitched our tent and off to dinner we went. Had pizza today -it's very much european pizza - the crust is different than ours - it was better than the one we had in St-Pierre et Miquelon though! Thank goodness!
Well, it's 11:00 and it's not dark. The sun set behind a mountain and it looks like it's about 9:00 in Ottawa.
