Well, part 2 in exploring the country. After fetching Hjördís at Varmahlíð we drove further south and stopped close by Hvammstangi at Sæból, where Hanný Heiler and Tobbi Norland live. It was our first visit there, but really nice to stop, have a look at Skuggi's offspring, chat and of course pet Húni, their Alaskan Malamute. We just closely slepped through taking him back home with us, Hjördís liked him so much.
The journey continued on Vatnsnes peninsula, which is the perfect place to watch seals. In fact, there are two kinds of seals, Harbour seals and Grey seals, at Vatnsnes and we saw both of them. First we mistook a Grey seal for a stone as it was just poking it's head out of the water not moving at all, but the pic I took revealed the true nature of this stone as I've rarely seen a stone with whiskers.
Next stop was Hvítserkur and the seals at the estuary mouth of Sigriðsstaðavatn. I have to admit, I thought Hvítserkur was bigger as it looks rather huge on pics, but nevertheless it was a wonderful experience to see it that close. On our way back we took the detour to Siglufjörður. We endet the day after driving about 750 km back home at Húsavík.
