Friday Oct 7
This is our last day in Iceland. We met Inga, Anne (McNamara) and Jason Kessler's sister in law, and her sister for a morning swim at Josh's favorite Reykjavik pool. It was great to catch up with Inga, who we met at Anne and Jason's wedding. Afterwards we went for a stroll along the beach, but the tide was too high to get to the lighthouse. We did get a picture though!
It was very windy today, and our plans to explore Seltún, the local geothermal area, was halted by flying gravel hitting the windshield, as we crested a hill. I'm not sure we would have been able to get out of the car anyway without potentially losing a door! Turning around, we headed for the Blue Lagoon.
By staying at the small hotel, we had a large "private" pool in the middle of the lava field just for the hotel guests. What a luxurious treat this was! The milky blue water was hot, and silica covered the bottom, perfect for a silica mud mask. I am usually sad at the end of a trip, in disbelief that our time has passed so guickly, but this was a great place to end our Iceland adventure.
