Last Full Day in Iceland

In the morning we visited The Blue Lagoon, which is a huge hot spring favored by tourists.  Local developers had built up various features, including a two story building housing restaurants, bars, meeting rooms, and office facilities as well as changing/shower rooms. In the lagoon itself there was a built in water fall, snaking “river” with bridges and a “beauty bar” where you could buy mud masks.  The swim up beer bar was still under construction.

I swam/walked the whole area. Most of it was chest deep with many spots only waist deep and a few you had to actually swim. The temperatures varied from slightly warm to way too hot.

In the afternoon we went to the National Museum of Iceland.

We finished the day with a farewell banquet. This is a regular feature of Overseas Adventure Travel. Some of us flew back home the next day while others continued to Greenland as part of a “post trip.” The farewell Banquet is where you say good bye to some fellow travelers, tour guides, and sometimes even bus drivers.
