Riding along the Eastern and Southern shores of Lake Myvatn on our way out of town, we had another bike & hike as we walked around a few trails to get to some viewpoints, see rock formations, and get close to a series of craters that formed when lava flowed into the Lake. Some of these spots are clearly favorites; we ran into countless tour busses of every shape, size, and language spoken. In fact, this traffic wasn't all bad, as they sometimes signaled us when to stop riding. We said goodbye to the lake and made good time getting to Godafoss - Waterfall of the Gods - for more photo ops and time off the saddle.
The decision to go on or not was a tough one. We'd reached our goal, but it was easier than expected, and we could both "see" our final biking destination on the horizon. So, we covered tomorrow's miles too, and made it back to Akureyri with plenty of time to visit the Sundlaug. Ahead of schedule, we moved our flight back to Reykjavik up a day to get to a bed, somewhere to leave gear during the day, and to meet Tina in a couple of days! All a welcomed change of pace.
