The Blue Lagoon

 

Hello!  The adventures in Iceland continue!  A trip to Iceland would not be complete without an iconic visit to the Blue Lagoon.  It is listed as one of the 7 Wonders of the World.  Discovered through drilling approximately 50 years ago, the hot springs are truly amazing.  Even in the rain, they are still worth the visit.  The waters are just the perfect temperature.  My advice is not to dunk your hair in the water.  Of course, they make you shower and wash your hair before, but I would put it in a big clip or bun and not get it wet.  The water has completely stripped my hair of all its oils, and despite washing and conditioning it multiple times, it remains dry. After enjoying a couple of hours in the water, we treated ourselves to a fine dining experience at the Lava Restauarant.  It was definitely not cheap, but the food was so delicious.  Even with the majority of our food being cooked at our Airbnb, the food in Iceland is quite expensive.  While there is some fast food here in Iceland, it is not cheap.  Actually, nothing is cheap here in Iceland, but knowing this in advance takes the sting out of it. Well, I need to run!  We have a few more adventures we want to experience before heading over to Germany.
