…I was on vacation. Or was that a dream? Although it’s only been 9 days since being back, it seems like much longer. Pretty sure the five straight days of work didn’t help. At the risk of sounding spoiled, here’s a tip: if you don’t work for a full month, trying to make it through five days (even five shorter-than-most-people-work work days) seems like forever. BUT, if I want to travel again (and I do!), it’s off to work I go (hi ho, hi ho!).
So.
Back to the distant past, when I was finishing up my trip.
May 1, 2013
I arrived at the Blue Lagoon (aka. Heaven!), got my fluffy robe, showered up (you must wash before and after) and headed out into the -1C weather. A little chilly for bikini-wearing, you say? That’s why I quickly made my way into the 38 C milky blue water!

it. was. glorious.

The water is milky blue thanks to the silica that is in it. The silica is also really good for your skin.

 

With the lost-card trauma melted away in the hot waters, I hopped on the bus and headed to the airport. Once there, I dropped my bags off, laughing to myself as I looked at all the people who were checking in manually (I checked in online a day earlier). Time to go home. I’d have been more sad if I hadn’t been so relaxed 😉
