Today was a land day. We started it with a phenomenal early morning sunrise run across the shores of Reykjawik before heading to the famous Blue Lagoon – a geothermic spring fed thermal bath embedded into a surreal environment of volcanic stones. The 40C warm water was the perfect warm-up considering the temperature drop of 20C we experienced yesterday between Stuttgart and Reykjawick.
After a good 2 hours in the warm water we continued our sightseeing tour to Geysir (thats the name of the village – the Geysirs around the world are named after it) and then on to an impressive waterfall. We were lucky to hit a day with blue sky and not so many tourists as the peak season is already over here.
The nature here is very divers with amazing views along the coast. Defintely a place to come back. Tomorrow we will continue our journey from here to Nuuk – the capital of Greenland. The latest weather report looks promising and we are confident to be able to make the trip which will take us pretty much straight west across open water for just shy of 3 hours towars the west coast of Greenland.
