Day at Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland is known for its never too cold, never too hot climate. Cool temperature for summer. Low 60s. Vast land with not too many people. We visited "American Plate" where the separation of America and Europe continent is visible. It is hard to describe the feeling of seeing the geological formation displayed in front of you and realize that human migration, history, and culture are all affected by it.
As land of seismic activities, there are plenty of geysers, volcanos, and waterfalls. A short stop to see a few.
Finally, we arrived at the famous " Blue Lagoon". Natural hot spring with its pastel blue water is a wonder. We have made arrangement to use the newly established private quarter where individual private changing room and rest area is quiet and cozy. Food and wine can be ordered with a balcony overlooking the lagoon. One and half hours passed by too fast. Blue Lagoon upheld its reputation. Did not disappoint.
Stopped at gift shop. A can of Fresh Icelandic Air or a Viking, anyone?

Did you buy a can of fresh air for us Angelenos stuck here in smoggy 98 degrees weather? :)
ReplyDeleteHow hot was the lagoon?
Lagoon is pretty hot. Don't know exactly. Comfortable even in snowy weather.
