The land of Fire and Ice

In Iceland, they believe in fairies, elves, and magic. This isn't a surprise, because after a weekend there I was sure that magic was real too. It was a beautiful place- from the moment we arrived, it was colder than anywhere I've ever been- however, that just added to the splendor.

First stop, the blue lagoon. Beyonce came here once, but the coolest thing is that the water actually looks light baby blue. It has restorative properties and is very good for your skin. The mud around the lagoon can be used to apply to your skin and face as well, and we had a massage right on the water. The water goes up to 100F, but the cold air is still around 20-30, so its a very odd and nice feeling.

The second day we explored the city of Rekyavijk which was so cute. The church looks like something out of Game of Thrones, it was very austere, but you still felt something special when walking in there. Also, you can mail your letters to Santa  year long in Iceland, since he is basically a resident and its so close to the North Pole. Rekyavijk is where the majority of the population lives, since a lot of the country is inhabitable. Its a small city, and very pricey- everything is imported.

The third day, we took the Golden Circle Tour, it was so cold, but worth it. We got to see where Game of Thrones was filmed, the continental divide between Europe and and America and best of all the icelandic Horses. We also drove by an actual volcanic crater!

The horses have long hair because its cold
