Blue Lagoon, Iceland

We left the Blue Lagoon at 11pm local time.

Yes, that’s right, 11pm and the sun is still up in the sky.  That’s the beauty of Iceland.

If I haven’t already expressed it, or you missed it over the last several months of my blog posts – Iceland is amazing and unique and incredible.

These would be some of the last images of Iceland that we would see before we left to return to the US as almost a year of being away.  These images and sites would stay with me.

Going inside the Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon, Iceland

We paid our money and went inside.  Now here’s the weird thing – the meeting of cultures.  Iceland has this unique position.  It’s a part of Europe, yet plenty of Americans go there.  What that means is you can tell what continent someone is from based on how they act in the changing room.  Let’s just say Americans are prudish and Europeans let it all hang out (no pun intended).

Anyway, we got changed and went into the water. Ahhhhh!

To say that the water was warm would be an understatement.  After a bit, it becomes down right hot.

But that doesn’t keep people away.  In fact there seems to always be a large crowd at the Lagoon.

The facility itself is wonderful.  Having said that, we spent our entire time out in the water.  It’s not often you get to sit in really hot water and just relax.

I even got to take an iconic Blue Lagoon picture of the steam rising up above the water.

We stayed until late.  Of course, if it weren’t for a clock, we’d never had known what time it was.  Check out how bright it was at 10:10 pm.

Overall, the Blue Lagoon is well worth a visit.

Blue Lagoon, Iceland, tourism, water

As we finished our time in Iceland, we made one last trip – to the world famous Blue Lagoon.

This was a last minute decision on our part.  We weren’t sure if we wanted to go.  One argument against going is that it is a tourist trap.  The reality – it is.  One argument for going is that it’s a unique experience.  The reality – it is.  In the end, we were glad we splurged and went.

We left at 7pm from the nearby hotel, took a bus and rode for what felt like an hour, and finally arrived.  We walked up the walkway and we knew we were in for a relaxing experience.

We were surrounded by lava rocks, yet it already felt relaxing.

Then the first sighting of water – before we even got inside.

We were about to get really familiar with this unique water.

I believe that God, church, and theology are approachable, enjoyable, and relevant for everyone. I write about this a lot because people need to hear it. So many people feel lost, hopeless, alone, and are searching for identity and meaning. I'm an ELCA Pastor (Lutheran) who has a background in politics, business, and the non-profit worlds. I take churchy theological ideas and words and communicate them in everyday language that people can understand, in ways that relate, and show that God, church, and theology matter a great deal. Oh, and it doesn't have to be boring either - mostly because it's the best news ever!
