TravelerFULL ON! Struggling to catch up with posts. The short daylight and jet lag is a mind mess. How are you finding it? Maria's colleague in Iceland messaged today and said the sun was going down at 2pm 😱

One of the pinnacles of our trip was the VERY expensive day at the Blue Lagoon natural spring. Volcanic, good pH on the skin, just a 5 hour wait when we got here - no one told us to book! 😡
