Published: September 17th 2014

On September 2nd I left Paris on Icelandair and flew back to Denver, Colorado. On the way to the U.S. , I took advantage of the airline's free stop-over offer and spent 3 nights and 4 days in Reykjavik. I was a bit apprehensive because the Bardarbunga volanco had been erupting for a few weeks, and, like everyone, I remembered the 2010 eruption of another volcano that spit up ash and caused many fl...

Blue Lagoon
Dear Hilary - I'm just back from a soak in the Blue Lagoon. Can't thank you enough for mentioning your massage. I partially tore my Achille's playing tennis a few weeks beforehand and feel like a new person now after having a treatment there. I've still got a ways to go before full recovery but am on the healing path. I'd love to buy one of those floating mats if I could find a source. We're here for another week so perhaps I'll pay another visit and remember to ask next time. Hugs across the waters, Jack*

Blue Lagoon, massages, etc.
Hi jacke, Sorry to hear about your Achilles heel. Wasn't the massage on the floating mattress great? I do hope you got back to the Blue Lagoon. Did you also go to the "secret lagoon"? Much smaller, no massages, but also very relaxing. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Iceland
Hi Hilary - thanks for this...I have wanted to go there for ages and didn't know about the stopover possibility. Maybe for my next visit to California!

We went to Iceland with our grandson 6 years ago but in the summer and had more sunny days from the looks of your photos. But you certainly got a lot of sights in in a short time! The scenery is majestic and fascinating and the Blue Lagoon is the best place to spend a relaxing day. In fact we went back for more. There is another similar warm spring lake in the north, a little more "nature". Did you sample the night life? Very friendly and active so we heard...

nightlifein Reykjavik
Thanks for commenting, Julia. No, I didn't get out to the pubs, as I was alone and was completely exhausted from my full days of sightseeing. But, I, too, have heard the nightlife in Reykjavik is fun. When i was there, there sure were a lot of young people from different countries visiting Iceland.
