Reykjavík

This morning, we had crepes at a nice little restaurant. Then we went shopping. They have a Christmas store here, so we just had to check that out. They had so many cute things in there, and they ship to Canada. Yes, please! This way, we don"t have to worry about ornaments breaking or taking up luggage space.

We had an appointment with the spa at the Sky Lagoon (https://www.skylagoon.com/) A marvelous way to while away 3 or 4 hours. We had the The Ritual. First off, you go in and have a shower and change into your bathing suits. Then you wallow (no other word) around in geothermal heated fresh water. No sulfur smell or effects. Just warm water with an infinity edge that overlooks the bay. We met some cool ladies from the states Donna and Patty. They are going to be on our cruise as well. We just make friends anywhere we go! We talked with them for a while and enjoyed the warm soothing water. Then you plunge into a cold pool next. if you're Laura, you walk down the steps and walk right back up. I think explisives were involved as well. Then you go into a dry sauna. This sauna has an entire wall of glass overlooking the bay as well. It was quite warm so we only lasted 5 - 7 minutes. Then you have a cool mist shower (Laura, not a fan of this either) before heading into the steam sauna. They give you a salt and almond scrub prior to entering the steam shower. This was more brutal than the dry sauna because the steam made it difficult to breathe and very hot. The next step is to shower off and go back to the warm pool for as long as you like. Our new kept following us and we had a very enjoyable time. We even ended up sharing a cab back into the city.

I'm a bit jet lagged, so I have stayed back at the hotel while Laura has gone off to visit the Penis Museum. Yes, you read that right.

Laura learned a lot about penis today at the museum. She learned the difference between human and other species penis. The hamster has the smalles, and the largest is the sperms whale.

We had another wonderful meal. Laura went to a bar, and I came back to write this.

Tomorrow is our last day in Reykjavik, and tomorrow we board the ship.Leggi altro
