With a morning check out and evening flight it
makes good sense to visit the Blue Lagoon on the way to the airport. Also,
after a week of sightseeing, albeit not a lot of walking on the bus tours, we
are ready for a relaxing warm soak.
We spent 2 hours luxuriating in the silica
thermal waters of the Blue Lagoon. I tried the silica mask, but it just made my
face feel itchy. Healthy drinks at the pool bar is a nice treat. Had a light
lunch at the cafe, walked around the grounds a bit, then off to the airport. A
wonderfully relaxing way to end our visit to Iceland.
Reflecting on our stay, Apartment K was very
comfortable, with lots of space for a family of 4, well equipped for making
meals and a fantastic location. Being able to have breakfast, coffee and snacks
in our room really saved us a lot of money, even though we were purchasing food
in the corner stores (we didn't find the big grocery store only minutes away on
Ingolfsstruti until our last Day).
Also nice to have a glass of wine and light appetizer (salad, fruit) and rest a
bit before heading out for dinner. Very close to the Grayline tour bus
terminal, less than a 5 min walk to join our tours, saving the extra half hour each
way for hotel pickup and drop off. Only caveat is that we were above a very
popular nightspot and the closed windows didn't quite block out the noise.
Iceland is a very interesting country, with
lots of uniques things to see, and wonderful people, eager to tell you all
about the sagas (history of the settlement of Iceland). You can go hiking,
horseback riding, biking, camping, boating, all types of activities for the
nature enthusiast. We all enjoyed the trip immensely and my daughter is already
planning when she will come back - perhaps in the fall next time for the music
festival.
