The beautiful blue glacial water at Blue Lagoon....

The scenery is stunning, like nothing we have ever seen before and the clouds and mist come and go.

Our first night is spent at Hotel Hekla , which takes its name from the legendary volcano Hekla which can be seen from the hotel. Not only is there the accommodation, bar and dining room and outdoor spa area, there is also the working farm . This afternoon we relaxed in the 40 degree outdoor spa looking out towards the farm and mountains beyond...heaven.

A beautiful morning in London... Peter and I walked to Regent's Park from our hotel in Marylebone. This is a photo taken in the Queen Mary's Garden in the centre of Regent's Park.

Regent's Canal near Camden Lock...gorgeous.

After exploring the Camden High Street and Camden Lock markets and eating a tasy lunch from one of the many fantastic international food stalls, we walked on to Primrose Hill...wonderful views and a delightful park.

    We kept walking, eager to see Hampstead Heath.  Thanks Tash for encouraging us to visit this amazing parkland....and we loved the walk there...beautiful houses and lots of trendy shops and cafés.

Todd took this photo of Tash and me with my new short hair...perfect for traveling.

 

Little teeny tiny flower petals all over our 18th green....it was fabulous to be back at golf today after three weeks away. I missed everyone so much.

 

What I love about my husband....
