Relaxation

After a few days of recovery and sight-seeing in and around Reykjavik, today we cycled back to Keflavik and closed the loop on our circumnavigation. Once more the wind tried to defeat us, but it was a relatively short distance and we arrived by lunch time.

We spent the afternoon at the Blue Lagoon, a natural gethermally heated pool in the middle of the lava fields and one of Iceland's most popular tourist attractions. The water has an intense blue colour due the many minerals it contains and is supposed to have great healing properties. In any case, the warm water and amazing setting made for a relaxing afternoon and a perfect way to end the trip.
