Today was more windy dirt road driving. We have gotten better at traversing these, and I have gotten a little better at relaxing my death grips on the arm rests. I also think that we have developed a pretty good team of Carson focusing on driving the car and the road directly ahead, while I keep my eyes open for oncoming cars and upcoming switchbacks.

We woke up earlier than I wanted and started out for Dynjandi. On the way we made a brief stop at Reykjafjarðarlaug for some fun. This was a hot spring fed pool just off the road with an enclosed room for changing in private (this is quite a rarity!) 

Our next stop was Dynjandi. This has been the best stop of our trip so far! We spent several hours hiking up and down the trail along the falls, taking in the extraordinary sights and sounds of the area. Contrary to our previous understanding, this cascade of falls is actually 7 falls in a row. We parked at the bottom and worked our way up. Carson captured the falls with the good camera and I did my best with his phone. We cannot wait to see the final results when we get home. All in all, we spent 3+ hours here and ended up totally missing lunch. This was totally worth it!

This is the sight we were greeted with as we rounded the last curve in the road before arriving at the parking area.

This is partway up after passing three or four of the lowest falls.

Us off to the side of the falls looking back out across the fjörd.

Once we were finally able to pull ourselves away from the falls, we proceeded to Simbahöllin Cafe in Þingeyri for our 4pm lupper. Here we enjoyed bowls of minestrone with Belgian waffles for dessert. The waffles came with an apple jam/compote that was delicious! 

After we got a couple sliced of cake to go we hit the road to finish the drive to Ísafjörður. We checked into Hotel Horn, then headed out to do a 6 part multi cache that gave us a brief tour of the town, followed by a late supper. Tonight we ate at Tjöruhúsið. Here they only serve all you can eat fish buffet. It was awesome! Needless to say, we both over ate and were very grateful for the walk back to the hotel.

Tjöruhúsið Was in a really cool building that made it hard to find from the outside. We heard the sound of silverware on plates before we found the entrance.
