Day 1: After a six hour red-eye and with much awaited anticipation, I finally touched down in the beautiful and magnificent Iceland. Directly from the Keflavík Int’l Airport in Reykjavík, I headed southwest to Grindavík in search of an oasis in the midst of a lava field.
Within thirty minutes I found the world renown Blue Lagoon (Bláa Lónið) where I spent a few hours floating through the geothermal spa. To say that the vibrant blue water was anything less than perfect, would be an understatement.
After spending some time in the 100°F water, I was instantly refreshed when I was served a chilled and local, Gull beer and had an algae mask put on to rejuvenate. It was the perfect combination and a great way to end my experience at the Blue Lagoon!
(*keep in mind that the water is rich with silica and sulfur, so it is highly suggested to put conditioner in your hair before you enter and leave it in for the duration of your time spent in the water*)
