Day Four | Blue Lagoon + Departure
6 am | Eat Breakfast
Transportation: Grayline picked us up from our place and dropped us off at Blue Lagoon. It takes about an hour to get to Blue Lagoon from Reykjavik. Then it takes around 20 minutes from Blue Lagoon to get to the airport - so make sure you plan accordingly!
Prior to entering the pools, you need to shower completely naked. Americans are probably not used to it but many people just walk around in the nude in the locker rooms. Don't be weird about it and let it loose. Also, make sure to leave plenty of conditioner in your hair. The silica tends to dry out your hair. I didn't have this problem because I lathered a lot of conditioner onto my hair prior to entering the pools.
Eunice and I thoroughly enjoyed this part of the trip. We purposely planned it at the end of the trip because we wanted to leave Iceland well rested and relaxed after a packed schedule. We ended up getting the "Comfort" ticket, which included a towel, silica mask, one drink, algae mask, and entrance to the Blue Lagoon. The difference between the silica mask and algae mask was their end effect. The silica mask tightens and deep cleanses your skin, while the algae mask moisturizes and nurtures your skin. Our skins felt really nice afterwards! I think I wouldn't mind going again because I enjoyed it a lot... however it is pretty expensive for people who still need to pay off student loans. Maybe I'll come back in the future after making some cha-ching.
3:30 pm | Departure
And now, the end is near and so I close the final curtain~ Needless to say, I was really sad to leave this place and I didn't want to believe it was happening. I wanted to stay and keep chasing after waterfalls. However I had to leave. I ended up buy a bunch of Icelandic chocolate bars for my family members. #noregrets I still have one in my room - saving it for a special day.
