We returned through another agricultural area and noted the many farms with Icelandic horses. This is a unique pure breed of horse originating in Iceland as offspring of the horses brought here by the Vikings over 1000 years ago. The Iceland government prohibits importation of any horses so as to keep the ...

The bottom of the lagoon was covered with some sort of gooey **** that under normal circumstances would be totally disgusting. Not in the Blue Lagoon! Here ...

We were in that later group. After checking out of our hotel we headed by bus to the Blue Lagoon where our bags were stored while we went for a dip. Again that Arctic wind played havoc with our plan and I was actually pretty cold while paddling around the lagoon. I ...
