One of the many pictures i took while we went driving, probably as I was listening to Bon Iver (because of course). I swear the song Holocene was made for long drives in Iceland because it fits so perfectly, its makes total sense for why the music video was filmed there.
Sorta the Icelandic equivalent to Niagara falls
This is the blue lagoon, its sort of a natural spa made from a hot spring. Seriously the most relaxing place on earth, the water is a milky blue because of the white sulfur from the hot springs and you can use the white clay as a face mask (they sell it at the gift shop but it was out of my price range). The mask is super clarifying and helps moisturize the skin, they keep it in big buckets all around the lagoon so you can use it whenever you want. We arrived at the lagoon just after our flight (its only about 15 minutes from the airport) and let me tell you, best post flight experience ever. I had already been suffering from a lot of congestion which only got worse after the 8 hour flight, the steam was so relaxing and cleared my head and the hot water almost put me to sleep. The mask helped my skin recover almost 100% from the flight, it felt like what i imagine it feels like when you get an extra life in a video game after you had been run over by a monster. If anyone is traveling through Iceland and has a couple hours to spare I would definitely recommend going here.
I love a good pastel pink house, the person who lives here is a lucky duck.
Great post, you took some lovely pictures!
