It's surreal, isn't it. We spent two weeks just hopping from town to town and wandering around the landscape - being following around by Icelandic ponies, like huge round friendly dogs.Famagusta » 23 Jun 2020, 11:32 am » wrote: ↑ I went whale watching, aside from riding the lava fields, and swimming in the Blue Lagoon.

We were there in October, so it was nice and cold - and after a day of sightseeing in Reykjavik we would go to the public pools. Beautiful, gleaming building, swooping Nordic architecture, interior like the nicest private healthclub you've ever been to. Outside, an Olympic sized pool, heated just enough not to freeze you, a huge jacuzzi, and four hot tubs. The real, original hot tubs - holes in the cement with increasing heat levels. I only ever made it to tub three. LOL.
Keep in mind that this was nighttime in October, often snowing, so COLD. You positively SPRINT from the building to the tubs, but after you soak for a while, you climb out, steaming like a pudding, feeling toasty and warm, and you STROLL back, with snow falling on you.
I had gotten bronchitis the day we arrived, but two days in those tubs and it was gone.
