Blue Lagoon, Iceland

In Iceland we went to a place called "The Blue Lagoon". It was amazing. The water is a beautiful blue color and it's like a giant hot tub fed by natural geothermal hot springs.  The location is between Reyjkavik and the airport.  We rented a car and drove to it and we could see it far away because of all the steam coming off of the water.

When we arrived the entrance was a little confusing. There was a building where I think people hold their luggage. Then, there was a path surrounded by lava rocks. It looked like it was just cut through the rocks. Once we reached the building to check in, we saw some of the water. It is truly glorious. I've never seen anything like it and turquoise is the closest color by which I can describe it.

After we checked in, because we had made reservations in advance, we were led to the dressing rooms to change into swim suits. The dressing rooms are not very private. You have to change and shower before entering the water. The water has a lot of silica in it, so before you get in you have to put conditioner in your hair. If you don't, your hair will be unmanageable. I put it in mine and I think it helped, but my hair was still crazy the next day. My husband on the other hand, his hair was really soft.

In the lagoon there were places to get a silica mud mask and there was a place to get drinks. I had a blue raspberry slushie and Randy tried their beer.  The mud mask was incredible. It felt really good.

The pools were very relaxing and honestly, I think it's good for your health. I felt like I had a lot more energy and I slept like a baby when we got back to the hotel.

They had amazing oils, shampoos, and conditioner in the dressing rooms and they smelled great. After getting out and re-showering I used the moisturizer they provided and it was wonderful. The "gift shop" on the way out was full of all these beauty products. I bought some lip balm and a face mask and then we left. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

Here is where we went:
