After a full day of driving, we arrived in Husavik in the evening. The drive through the town alone made us want to go exploring later. The campsite at the very end of the town, under a hill that strongly reminded us of our home town of Nanos, had an indoor kitchen and a nice green area.
We cooked dinner and then headed into town, we wanted to book a whale watching boat trip. First we looked at the city's swimming pool. In addition to the Blue Lagoon, Icelanders often have regular swimming pools, pools with temperatures between 30 and 42 degrees. We didn't go swimming because we were late. We headed to the port instead. We looked at all the possible boats that offer excursions, they seemed small and open to us. I wondered how it would work with a lively one-year-old and pregnant, what if I got sick. We wandered around together until we saw a slightly larger boat sailing into the port, which seemed the most suitable. Then we just looked for the agency that runs this boat and found it, they explained nicely that there would be no problems because of Urban, that they had seen whales and that it wasn't cold. We booked and I admit that I had this experience at the top of my list of things to see in Iceland. 
We continued our walk around the city at cute green church and back to the tents - to sleep. We had a whale watching at 10 am. We woke up to a beautiful day, and there was no wind. However, we had already read at home how hellishly cold it can be on the ship, windy and wet. So we dressed accordingly. In the end, it turned out to be too much. We had really nice weather and we didn't get cold at all. Vasja and I popped Urbana in his deuterium and went for a walk to a nearby farm with Icelandic horses and a beautiful view of the town, the motive was to make Urban fall asleep. Of course he fell asleep no . The view was still beautiful and I was able to take some pictures of the horses.
This was followed by a visit to the agency, payment for the trip and hop hop on the boat. We met there tutes , which we put on over our clothes and we really didn't get cold. Urban was already annoying and tired. First I tried to put him to sleep in my arms and I almost succeeded until the guide started lecturing through the microphone, in a second he was awake. Then we simply put him back in the deuter and with the help of rocking the boat he fell asleep peacefully and soundly. The boat really rocks, not like we are used to boats in Croatia, but it's not as bad as some people say, or maybe we were just lucky. Time passed quickly, the guide listed various interesting facts about whales and soon we found ourselves in a group of ships and yachts. so-so : whale ! And not just one but two ! Two humpback whales. A 30-ton animal up to 15m long. Wow! They swam together, spewed water, then sank lower, disappeared for a few minutes, and we all wondered where they would peek out and reappear. repeat the exercise . Wonderful! We watched them like that for, I would say, a good hour. Truly unforgettable. Urban woke up just enough to see the tail, almost the entire performance slept in. The journey back to Husavik went by quickly as we were served cocoa and cinnamon rolls. The Skjafandi Bay where we sailed is full of blooming plankton. This develops in the summer due to the light, and nutrients are brought to the bay all winter by two rivers that flow into the sea. Plankton attracts whales to the bay in the summer, and from June to August there are chances for see the biggest whales. The whole experience was fantastic!
We then cooked lunch at the camp and set off again a little further north to the Asbyrgi canyon. It reminded us of Vremščica (again, because of the wind). We walked to Eyan with hiking gear. We walked along the top of the cliff with a beautiful view down to the canyon. The canyon is dry and overgrown, in some places even with spruce trees, probably for shelter. Let me emphasize that it is so windy in Iceland because it is bare, there are no trees like we are used to. About forests you can they just dream . That's why there is no shelter. What grows is artificially planted and I think it grows very, very slowly given the short summer . Asbyrgi Canyon appears in the middle of nowhere, it is 3.5km long and 1km wide. It is full of different walking paths, which are also well marked. The sheer walls of Eyan are up to 100m high. A beautiful circular walking path.
From here we drove into the rain. What a shame. Dressed in ballet flats, Urban, already quite tired, later fell asleep in the rain and in his rucksack! I put him in rain pants, boots, and a windbreaker on top, and we covered him with a ballet flat from the rucksack and our little boy dozed off in the most impossible weather imaginable. On the way a little lower towards Myvatn, we stopped at the Dettifoss waterfall. No one really wanted to get out of the car, but we went anyway, the other tourists seemed like they didn't mind the weather at all. It's a good thing we went. The waterfall with the largest volume of water in Europe was really impressive, you forget about the weather! It's just a shame that the pictures are bad. Basically , crazy, just 45m high and 100m wide, the waterfall drops 400 cubic meters of water every second. Every second ... A cloud of droplets can be seen a kilometer away. Nothing like that yet. There is a well-marked path leading to the waterfalls, a 20-minute walk through a lava field that has been further darkened by the rain. Everything is black all around. 
We managed to get Urban into a chair and he continued to nap all the way to his destination: Lake Myvatn . Say goodbye mivaht . I would put this part of Iceland in second place on the list of the most beautiful places in Iceland.
