The Blue Lagoon

one week after my trip, feel like ages ago, all ready for another one:>
Anyway, my week has been fine, busy bank holiday, will be on nite tomorrow..things are looking good, keep my finger crossed!!

OK, Iceland update!! We spend half a day whale watching, n the rest of the afternoon soaking our cool asses in the hot spring:>
Blue lagoon is iceland must go attraction. It is a superb five star geothermal hot spring lagoon. The couch drove us thru miles n miles of lava land, n suddenly out of no way, hot smoke n steam all around..

and we arrived the famous Blue Lagoon!!!

entrance cost us isk 1700..can rent towel if u din bring..

we were so excited..everything is so new in there..n icelander are so clean, all the tourist have to wash themself without any swim wear before u can go into the pool..

ofcos u dun wash infront of everyone, u do it in the toilet:> there is an active volcano hot spring in the middle of the pool..at time u will feel a sudden gush of boiling hot water run over u..HOT HOT HOT!!!!

tempreture of that day is about 10, 11 degree..so once u get urself wet, u have to jump fast into the pool to keep urself warm..n belief me, the water is so warm n nice, u wont feel like coming out:> The water taste salty ..even saltier than the sea water..

the other famous thing about the lagoon is the volcano salt mud, supposed to be good for our face..there are few mud stations, for people to apply as much as they want..

well, i dun know how good it is, but after this, my face got a major break out!! fangfeng say is normal, that means the toxin is clearing:>
other than soaking Ourself whole day in there, there is also a special sauna room, can steam all u want. and for better service, pay extra for the Lagoon massage..we din try that..
We were in the pool for good 3 hours, steamed our self for a little while..n we get changed n had some refreshment..then we outed to explore the nearby area..

all i can say is this place is beautiful!!!I do not understand y is the water so blue, n is so clear at the same time..they were saying is the mineral content of the water.

Also blue lagoon have their own body n face care product, made in iceland..suppose tobe really good:> But things that make in Iceland are so expensive!!!N u always thought that no place is gonna be more expensive than london, so wrong..

at last, we roamed around till 7pm, catched the last bus backed to our hostel..N NO!!!!! WE REALLY DUN FEEL LIKE LEAVING!!!
