Today we went to Blue Lagoon!!! It was absolutely amazing and one of the best experiences in my whole life. It was like I was in heaven! The water was a gorgeous temperature even though it was cold outside. Whilst we were there it was raining but it was really refreshing. There was a place in the water where you can get cream to put on your face like a face mask (it was free!). Me and Euan decided to give each other a massage with it too! There was also a bar in the water where we all had an ice-cream. It was amazing and very enjoyable to be able to eat it in the water.
We had about £600 worth of cream on our faces and where we had been massaged but since it was a freebie we didn't care! Neve and I both bought souveniers. I bought a Iceland keyring and a badge and Neve got a blue lagoon magnet and a Iceland magnet.
When we had finished we went to a beach where you could see whales but unfortunately we didn't see any but I did see this crab!
The only way we would have seen a whale would be if it came right up to us and waved in our faces because it was so misty, cold and wet!
Here is a picture of us:
We then went to a geothermal field where there was steam coming from the ground and bubbling mud!
Lots of photos were taken but only a few came out well. It looked like the end of the world because it was so steamy. it looked like a meteor had hit the ground. I made gas mask noises as if I was in a battlefield!
Finally we went to the bridge that separates the two continents of Europe and North America. It was very cold by this time but we still mannaged to get a picture!!!
The two plates were separating by 1cm each way per year (2cm a year). If we weren't as tired we may have walked down the middle of the split.
Another great day and I can't wait until tomorrow! Neve and Euan xxxx
I enjoyed the day as well. Hope you enjoyed mine and Neve's blog post. Lots of love xxxxx :)
Can't believe how many things you fit into one day! Loved your descriptions and fantastic photos - several reminded me of our time in New Zealand apart from it was much warmer there! You certainly know how to make the most of your trips - think I'd pass on the massage (and perhaps the icecream!) but the scenery looks good and I'm learning so much from your blogs and photos - and I thought I knew it all - anyway that's what I tell Grandad!
ReplyDeleteWell Neve and Mum the photos have just arrived and they look very good - well done (or bien cuit as they say in France!). Will have to have a go ourselves next time. Bye for now - I'm going to the next blog - lots of love N & G xx
