Layovers are usually boring and the worst part of traveling–it’s another pitstop that is just delaying your trip to your final destination. Most of the time it’s spent sitting in an airport doing pretty much nothing. I didn’t think i’d ever actually chose to have a longer layover during my trip. Instead of the usually 2-3 hour layover, my sister and I chose the 7 hours stop in Iceland on our way back from our trip. During the 7 hours, we were able to have an experience like no other–the BLUE LAGOON!!
Our flight landed at 8:45AM and we were on the us to the Blue Lagoon by 9:00AM-so crazy. The bus trip from the airport to the lagoon was about 30 minutes. Our entrance time to the Blue Lagoon was for 12:30PM, so we had to wait a little. But it was no detriment to our fun. There was so much to see and so many pictures to take all around the area. we were surrounded by nature–amazing lava rocks and beautiful blue milky waters.
The people at the Blue were super nice and let us in about an hour and half earlier than our ticket time. So once we were in the blue lagoon, we got our wristbands, towels and went to the locker rooms. The wrist band were used to access and lock up the lockers and purchase drinks in the lagoon.
The weather in mid August was a little chilly, but the waters were amazingly warm. The lagoon was surrounded by mountains, so the scenery was beautiful. In addition to the lagoon, there were also in water massages, waterfalls, saunas, steam rooms, and face masks!
