The Blue Lagoon

We spent the last day at Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. The milky blue waters are loaded with minerals that are supposed to rejuvenate your body and soul. I was shocked by how warm and clean the water was, which apparently gets cycled out every two days to keep it fresh. With a 7 hour flight home ahead of me, I was pretty concerned with keeping my hair dry which proved to be impossible! After my 20 minute massage, my hair was soaked, but I have never felt so relaxed in my life! The Blue Lagoon should be on everyone's bucket list. I hope to come back to this beautiful country to see what it looks like in the summer time. Sunrise was at about 11:30AM and sunset was at about 3:30PM which limited what we could do/see during the day. Nightlife doesn't really get going in Reykjavik until midnight. A beer runs about $1000 krona, which is about $8.25 US, so its not exactly cheap to drink/eat/sight see but there are ways to stretch your dollar. I think I have turned into an international happy hour hunter!
