Today was the day that I was looking forward to. This whole trip was for a babymoon, to relax, but it was more adventurous than anything. But today, we were going to officially relax!
We arrived at the Blue Lagoon around 10 a.m. and headed
straight for the changing rooms. Once we got into our bathing suits, we went
straight into the water. There was no reason to hang out in the chilly air
because the water was so warm and inviting! We waded in the water for hours,
slathering on mud masks and sipping on smoothies. Throughout the whole lagoon,
there are boxes filled with silica mud where you can slather it onto your whole
body. We definitely partook and it really did make your skin feel fantastic. (We’ve
been back for two days now and Alastair just mentioned that my legs felt really
smooth. Thank you, Blue Lagoon!) We also did an algae mask, which really made
my face feel great! They also had this waterfall that you can stand
under and let it massage your back. That felt really nice! Although, the only
damper was that it damaged my hair. It is true what everybody says, so I might
have to go and get a little haircut. ;)
After wading in the lagoon for a few hours, we had to head back to the airport to go home. The lagoon was a nice way of sending us off because it completely wiped me out on the flight back! Iceland, you were fun!
