... would become my theme of the day &#8211; I think that every time we got back on the tour bus, I feel asleep, at least for a short time&#8230; Hahaha.)<br><br>But, I digress. Back to our first destination. &#8220;They&#8221; say that The Blue Lagoon is to Iceland as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, etc. &#8211; a must-see stop on any Icelandic tour. So, what IS The Blue Lagoon, you ask? A classic 80s movie about two good-looking teenagers growing up together on a ...

... Icelandic horses are the size of ponies (they are just the tiniest little buggers), but are still very strong and can easily carry the weight of man. Also, to prevent diseases, no other horses are allowed to be imported into Iceland. Icelandic horses are allowed to be sold to other countries, but once they leave, they are not allowed to come back. Reckna told us that the Lord of the Rings trilogy was going to be ...

For our third day in Iceland, we decided to slow down and take it a little bit easy. After a late-ish start we hopped on the Reykjavik transit and headed off to the mall. The big mall was in the middle of a construction zone but we were able to follow some teenagers so we knew we were headed in the right direction. It turns out once we arrived at the mall that Lorraine was the only one that actually wanted to go shopping - it wasnt a total loss though as ...

... warm. Its this opaque, white water with a bluish-purplish tint. The whole space smells a bit sulfuric which I could have done without, but the relaxation factor outweighed anything else. This was definitely a nice way to recoup after the flight and relax before starting our day. There was even a small cave in the lagoon that blocks out the wind and a lot of the noise, allowing you to rest, float, and relax. If you ever go to the Blue Lagoon ...

Apparently 80% of Iceland's landmass is glacial waterways cutting through mountainous lava deserts, so despite being a relatively small island, it has a vastness to it that you rarely get in Europe. Taking the road into Reykjavik from the remote airport compounds the feeling - miles and miles of lava fields slowly disintegrating ...

We drove to Kopavogur where he showed us a marine terrace where he played as a kid.  It is being reclaimed by trees.  It is at the same level as the water tower/restaurant.  We continued to his home nearby where we were greeted by Þora, a very warm and gracious woman.  Their son, Björn picked up Þráinn at the airport.               I could not ...
