Today, we were in the northern most part of Iceland, past the Arctic Circle in fact, I now have a new certificate to put on my wall.

Yesterday, we drove to one of the largest waterfalls in the area, Gulfoss and it was stunning, it did however put us about five hours out of our way. The maps here are not the greatest and we ended up going on a dirt highway for about 100km. The upside, was that it went up and into another volcano and there were huge craters to look at the whole drive.

We just made it by running to our whale watching tour at seven pm, out luck streak continued! We saw several humpbacks on the trip and even some dolphins. There only five guests on the whole ship and the guide told us we were the first people to ever drink wine on the tour, to us, that was an honor.

This morning, we boarded the ferry to Grimsey Island, a three hour one way trip.  The island is one of the sleepiest places I have ever been. We had some lunch before heading down the coast when I saw PUFFINS!! I love puffins, maybe even sometimes a little too much but here, I was in heaven. They were so close and everywhere, I took so many pictures, it was actually a little crazy of me. After getting our certificates and a few souvenirs, we were on our way back to the mainland.

Pictures to come from Grimsey Island… short blog, running out of power!
