Day 1: Travel and the Blue Lagoon.
We have made it! After a very civilised departure time this morning of 8.30, we set off for Iceland and had a trouble free journey without traffic or delays.
The adventure started straight away, with views of lava flows and a dramatic coastline from the airplane whilst landing. Within 5 minutes of leaving the airport we had seen volcanoes, snow caped mountains and geothermal greenhouses. The first stop was an all important refueling stop at an all you can eat pizza restaurant, the boys did exactly this!
We spent the evening after dinner in the Blue Lagoon, where we were treated to the natural luxury of the geothermal heated pools, saunas and steam rooms. After a couple of hours of silica face masks and steam everyone is feeling suitably relaxed for our 2 hour onward journey to Husid Guesthouse and the staff are feeling at least 10 years younger.
A late arrival at 11 will see all in bed soon after, ready for a day exploring the waterfalls, fault lines, geysers and swimming pools of the golden circle.
