Blue Lagoon

One thing not to be missed in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon. What a wonderful way to wind up our trip here. We rode out to the Blue Lagoon on our little bus and 9 of us went. It was all most interesting and just a great fun, relaxing and neat time. The water is thermal and sooo warm and it felt so good. We wore bracelets that let us in and out of the facility and we could get something to drink or eat ,etc all on our bracelet and then pay when we left. We took towels from the hotel so we didn't have to pay for one. There was the special silica paste that we could plaster on our faces and we all agreed we were much more beautiful when we left. It was just a very relaxing time.
Tonight is our farewell dinner together. There are five of us that head home tomorrow and the others head on to Greenland for a week. I am sure they will have a great time but I am glad we are heading home. This has been a very active trip and we are ready to rest and catch up at home! We fly tomorrow afternoon to NYC. We will spend the night at the Hilton there and fly to Atlanta early Saturday morning in time to be home for the game.
Today we took the hotel shuttle to the nearby mall and did our souvenir shopping and then walked back to the hotel. Iceland is such a gorgeous country but souvenirs are not that easy to spot for our tastes, which is just as well. I was going to bring back some of the Blue Lagoon hand cream etc but the smallest size tube was the size of the hotel shampoo and were about $25....hmmm. No handcream is that good!
