We ended our stay in Iceland with a stop at the Blue Lagoon. It is a geothermal spa known for it's mesmerizing blue color and the water's relaxing and medicinal qualities. They have stations along the lagoon where you can apply a special silica mud to your face and body to sooth and clarify your skin. The best part was the steam room, sauna, and waterfall massage area. It's a must-do when you are in Iceland and definitely when you spent the prior day driving all over the country and seeing the sights. What a relaxing way to end the Icelandic leg of our trip.

A quick 2.5 hour flight and we are here at the hotel in Arlanda Airport for the night. We leave for Kiruna, within the Artic Circle, tomorrow morning. I can't imagine that there is any communication service up there. So my next post may not be until we return from the Ice Hotel. The weather looks favorable for our 2 night stay. Highs in the 20's!!
