On saturday we did some light trekking and one
dive near Olafsfjordur. After diving we had some AD with our host and some local
divers. I can still remember the horrible taste and smell of rotten shark!
Special thanks to Sigurdur who offered us lodging at his house for three days -
the icelanders are a bunch of nice people!
Our dive boat took other people to Strytan on
Saturday morning so we had late wakeup and some light trekking near
Olafsfjordur. Olafsfrordur is in a small fjord facing the atlantic
ocean.
In
the afternoon we dived 45 minutes inside a kelp forest chasing some fish with
our cameras. When the dive was over and we were back in the house the After Dive
started.
During
the evening we tasted the legendary rotten shark and later some people even
played "taxi möö" with shark! My recommendation is to stay away from
the shark - it is easily the worst thing I have ever tasted. I could smell the
shark the whole next day even after washing my hands several
times..
Next afternoon we moved to our
next camping site at Myvattn (the name means midge lake or something) which is
close to some of the craziest nature formations in
Iceland.
