It is a massive tourist trap but when you go to Iceland the Blue Lagoon is somewhere you really have to visit. It is Iceland's most popular visitor attraction, the Blue Lagoon is a giant bathtub that pools six million litres of geothermal seawater from 2000 metres beneath the earth's surface. By the time it reaches the lagoon, the mineral-rich milky, aqua blue waters simmer at temperatures between 37 and 39°C.
The water makes your skin feel so soft and there are vats of silica clay dotted around that you can spread all over your face and body.
Unfortunately I had a migraine the day we visited but it was still a lovely experience.
Our final adventure in Iceland was a road trip along the peninsular.
The absolute BEAST of a car we had to drive around in. There was a mix up at the hire company and our friends waited so long for the little city car they had originally hired that they were upgraded to this amazing 4x4 Chevrolet with heated seats and everything.
This beach was home to around 15 seals when we visited but they cleverly disguised themselves as rocks and were impossible to photograph!
