Leaving for Iceland for some days – only near Reykjavik this time. We will be spending some bathing time with friends. I just realized it is 10 years since our last visit. Hopefully this will mean some good times.
Wish you all a great weekend!

It obviously was absolutely fabulous!! 🙂
😀
How long will you be there Leya? I believe it is a very photogenic place
I’m back tonight, pommepal! It is a photogenic place – tough on me, because we were there with friends only for 4 days, showing them around on the most popular route and above all – bathing in the healthy mineral hot pools. Not much time for photography…but of course I could sneak out a short sec if I managed to stop the car…Freezing cold now, but sooo beautiful. Never been there in Winter time before.
4 days would just make you want to see more…
True – so our friends left just aching to come back during summer!
Look forward to seeing the pictures! Have a lovely time, Leya.
Thank you, Tahira! We had freezing cold but very good weather for three days – and that is more than expected from Iceland during this time of the year…
Have a lovely time with your friends, Ann-Christine. The photo is beautiful too!
Thank you, Patti! I’m back today with new experiences and a soft and soothed body after all swimming and bathing. I really never thought I would go barefoot in the snow and 8 degrees below zero to bathe in 40 degrees hotpools. But we all did. And it was deliciously great!
It does sound wonderful! Glad you had a great time.
There will be a post or two. Iceland is a saga country…
Looking forward to your posts! It’s intriguing to me. I’ve never been to a thermal spring/hot spring or to Iceland.
Hope you will not be disappointed…because there are not many photos of the bathing, as bringing a camera is nearly hopeless…At least I don’t like bringing it when there is water around. Many young people used these small cameras enclosed in plastics, but I do not have such a camera. But, when not bathing – of course I was shooting!
I’m sure your photos will give me a great idea of what it was like!
Lucky, lucky Ann christine! I envy you swimming in the magical blue lagoon! Iceland is a perfect place to relax! Take plenty of photos
Amanda…it was closed…I could hardly believe my eyes when I found it in a local Icelandic net paper…and that was the day before the trip. but we managed, and I found other interesting hot pools for our guests. Some photos too…
oh NOOOOOO! That is too bad. But it sounds like you managed to get a taste of hot thermal springs nonetheless.
Oh how lovely Ann Christine … I’m sure you will love the wintry landscape 🙂 I guess you’ll be enjoying those Blue Lagoon waters … I’ve not but I gather it’s a fabulous experience . Have a refreshing and chilled out time with your friends !
Thank you, Poppy! I’m back today – and had some beautiful four days in great company! The Blue Lagoon is a fabulous pool system, and I went there during summer time before. Now I had checked out some three or four other pools as well for our guests. Bathing in hot pools being a daily treat for Icelanders, this is a must for tourists. And what happens…the day before our departure, I go and read a local newspaper of theirs. The Blue Lagoon is closed! For two weeks! (First time since the 1990’s)I thought I had checked everything, but this essential piece of news did not reach any tourist site of course…The result was me sitting over the Internet the whole night to find something as close to this adventure as possible. And finally I did. The Secret Lagoon. My guests and me and my husband had some freezing, hot days!
Very exciting for you. Have a great time and take photos. 😃
😀
Best wishes for a very special time with your friends Ann-Christine.
I’m back this afternoon after a great four days – freezing but lovely. I totally went over the top and bathed in snow and hot pools outdoors – never thought I would really do that…But I recommend it! Our company followed my example and really enjoyed their time – I’m so glad they went along despite 8- and snow!
How cool was this trip Ann-Christine, love your spirit of adventure! Love it ~
😀
Bellissima questa foto, è un vero sogno!!
Saluti, Patrizia
You are so sweet, Patrizia, thank you!
This is such a lovely photo, Ann-Christine. Love the cloud cover. Have a good weekend and have a nice trip to Iceland. I have no doubt you will take plenty of photos 😀
Mabel, Iceland is a photogenic place…but this time we had to bathe much in the hot pools and guide another couple to the most famous places around Reykjavik. And…naturally I had to take some pictures as well!
Enjoy….I must plan positively to go back
Mmm, back today after some hot pools in snow. Freezing cold, but of course as beautiful as I remembered Iceland. This was my first time in Winter, but we were lucky to have three days out of four with no snow or rain. My photos will be on my computer tonight – hopefully some of them turned out well. Actually we were guiding some friends around the most famous pools and places, so not as many photos as I would have liked to take…

Good for you! I’ve only spent eleven hours in Reykjavik during a very stormy day, but I was immediately drawn to this island and I always want to go back. Have been there many times, but only at the airport Keflavik. Looking forward to seeing your pictures …
…ah, mostly bathing with friends…but of course I managed to take some photos as well! And do follow your senses next time! Jump the plane and the trip or whatever…and enjoy this island of wonders!
Lovely veiw!
Sounds wonderful…enjoy the bathing and come back refreshed…and with some pictures to share 🙂
Back today – still blue toes…No, just joking, we had cold but great weather and many intriguing baths…and some photos!
Love the photo! Enjoy your visit.
Hopefully it will be OK weather. I have never been there winter time.
Fingers crossed for good weather then. Enjoy! 🙂
