Iceland & Day 1

Cheese, ham, boiled eggs, cucumber, tomatoes, toast, and coffee….random breakfast but it hit the spot. We arrived to the humble Guesthouse to a nook full of breakfasters and early birds. Since our arrival was 7am, our rooms were not yet ready, so we decided to loop around the neighborhood and entertain ourselves. When our room was ready, the first order was NAP TIME to prepare for the second half of the day.

Best part of the day? You guessed it…the Blue Lagoon. Its one of those places that can make you forget almost anything. I’d bet that Iceland’s political leaders would stop thinking about their country’s economic failure the second they’re big toe dips in the milky, sultry pool…cocktail in hand. We had a satisfying dinner at the Lagoon’s restaurant to close out the evening and then headed back to the guesthouse. After jiggling about 4 different door knobs, we finally found building #3 (our guesthouse)–yeah, they are all indistinguishable. Process of elimination and a little critical thinking will carry us through this little trip.
