Last day
in Iceland I took a trip by The Blue Lagoon on the way to the airport. The
geothermal spa offers the same options as a normal spa, the main difference is
the large pool which is heated by geothermal heat which has been through the
geothermal power plant next door. The water is on average 37-40 degrees, pleasantly
warm. It was very windy on the day so while the head was above water, slightly
cold, the rest of the body was heated by the waters. Only problem was the gusts
of cold winds now and then that managed cool down the upper 5-10 cm of water,
suddenly sending a chill through your shoulders.
Talking
about getting a chill – walking from the building to the water was something I
didn’t think of first, but going through the door to the outside it was
something I was reminded of very fast. If you thought it was cold when
arriving, think about how it feels when only wearing swimming pants.
After
this it was a short drive back to the airport and a pleasant flight home to
Copenhagen. Got better by the fact that the airline handed out free chocolate eggs
due to Easter.
