Our view from our window this morning, we are staying in a lodge on a working farm just out of Hvammerstangi in the west of Iceland. We have been so lucky to have wonderful views in every room in which we have stayed.
I went horse riding today...on a gorgeous Icelandic horse, whose name I couldn't even pronounce let alone spell. I loved it, had such a good time, I even learnt how to trot .
Here we are at Reykjavik's most popular attraction...the Blue Lagoon...a geothermal pool. It was 10 degrees, windy and rainy but a warm 38 degrees in the pool. The white paste on our face is a mixture of silica and various minerals which come from the water, they say it is good for the skin.
And as if it isn't fun enough just lolling round in this relaxing warm pool, they also have a bar where you can purchase drinks ! (We are in the queue). You leave feeling very calm and thoroughly relaxed.
