September 1st and 2nd we had an overnight in Reykjavik, Iceland! On the first day we took a crew tour out to the Blue Lagoon, the volcanic hot springs. I felt a bit like the brave (but crazy) people who partake in the Polar Bear Plunge as I ran in my bathing suit thru the freezing wind to get to the water. Although the place smelt of sulfur (that pungent stench of rotten eggs), the water was amazing, warming our bodies from the cold air surrounding us. We even tried the natural mud cream facial scrub as we swam around the springs.
Later that night we went out to explore the cute town. We stopped into a tiny inn for wine and delicious cheese. I was very surprised how much I liked this port, who would have thought I'd be in ICELAND!?! And to top it all off, we saw the Northern Lights, a major event on my bucketlist!!!! I can't believe how blessed I am to pursue my passion and travel the world, checking off amazing occasions from my wish list and encountering all these life changing experiences.
so jealous of the Northern Lights sighting! How many nights did you get to see those?
ReplyDeleteIt was just that night!!!! I hope to someday get up to Canada or Alaska to see them again :D
