Day 4: Part 1 - EYVINDARÁ FARM, EGILSSTAÐIR to LAKE MÝVATN

| Eyvindará farm cabin |
Most people fly to Lake Mývatn from Reykjavik, but in doing so they miss seeing some really cool stuff. That is not our style. We wanted to see as much of the island as possible in the short amount of time we had but we didn't want to take any shortcuts. The long way around is well, long, but therein lies the adventure. You just never know what you'll run into taking the back roads.
Eyvindará farm wasn't really a farm as far as I could tell, but nevertheless, it was really nice. The cabin, which was tucked up on a hill in a wooded area far above Egilsstaðir, was small but warm and comfy. As we were unpacking, our daughter snuck into one of the bags and ate an entire Icelandic chocolate bar! She had chocolate covering her entire face and was totally amped up. She ran around the little cabin like someone possessed. I swear she ran up a wall. I may have just imagined that though. It was funny until we tried to put her to bed in the pack-n-play. Her nonstop, chocolate-infused, baby talk kept us up all night.
We woke up and had breakfast with the owner of the farm. She was very nice and let our daughter watch cartoons. They were weird Icelandic cartoons but for an 1 year old, they were awesome.
We left soon after and continued on to a much more barren and wilder place...
