Obscure World: Blue Lagoon, Iceland

Iceland is not really on my lets-travel-there-immediately wishlist. I am, though, very likely to change my mind after seeing these pictures.

 Blue Lagoon.  It's Iceland's most unique and popular attraction.  Where else can you bathe, float, relax and soak in a vast pool of 102 degree geothermal seawater made warm from underneath the earth's surface.  Crazy right?  Obviously, this is why over 400,000 people visit Blue Lagoon annually and it's been voted the best medical spa worldwide, 5 years in a row.

In addition to soaking your cares away, enjoying the breathtaking scenery, breathing in the clean, fresh air, you can also enjoy special water treatments like massages, scrubs, silica, salt glows, algae, pregnancy massages and, my personal favorite, psoriasis treatments.  Who knew there was a whole spa while floating in a giant pool of blue seawater!

Aside from the flights from Vancouver to Iceland, the hotel, food and car service, Blue Lagoon will actually be the least expensive portion of your Icelandic adventure.  Ringing in at a whopping EUR 35 (includes entrance to the geothermal spa and a towel), you can easily slip into relaxation, forgetting about the thousands you spent to get here.

Allan, I'm thinking we really need to fly here.....soon!
