 Good morning from cold dark Iceland It's 9 a.m. Still pitch black. Sun doesn't come up till about 11 30 a.m. We landed last night at about midnight. We're gonna go to the blue lagoon. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I can't really imagine living in a place that is so dark all the time in the winter. The sun comes up at 11 30 a.m. right now. It is mid-December so we're close to the shortest day of the year and it goes back down at about 3 30 p.m. That's kind of crazy, but also cozy in a way. Lots of cuddle time here in Iceland. We're hoping to find some food and we figured there'd be some places open. It is 9 in the morning but a lot of these places are not open. We found the grocery store and it's open 24 hours. Yes! This is the stuff they were advertising on the airplane. He says give Iceland's secret to healthy living. This Icelandic grocery store pretty much has everything that you would see in a normal grocery store but the crazy thing is they really have to ship this stuff from far far away. Iceland is in the middle of nowhere and that's why it's very expensive. I'm a fan of the Icelandic yogurt. It's very thick and creamy, delicious. Music You're probably wondering why we're hitchhiking. Well the one bus that was leaving from our hotel to the Blue Lagoon left at like 8 30 a.m. We were not on that bus and there's no other buses from that hotel. So that's why we're doing this. Not because we're super cheap. No, just kidding. That's playing a factor in this because the buses to the Blue Lagoon are like $50. Also we wanted to have this romantic sunrise walk. Yeah, that's a good point. This is an adventure. These are the best days where you wake up and you're like we're just going to figure this out. We're going to see what happens. We're hoping it's going to be good and it usually always is good, right? Long to keep good attitude. That's right. If you ever want to hitchhike successfully, always put the cute girl out in front. They have a lot higher success rate. It's like ordering a drink at a crowded bar. Put the lady in front. Music All right, we have somebody who stopped. We're going to 43. We're trying to get to the Blue Lagoon. Thank you. Hello. How are you? Hi. Have fun. Yeah, great to meet you. Thank you. Bye-bye. Okay. Yep. We got it all. Bye-bye. All right. That was awesome. Our new friend, Osk. All right. 10 kilometers to the Blue Lagoon. We could run this. Oh, what? You want to give us a ride? Yeah. Yeah. Sweet. We didn't even have to ask. People here are so nice. Nice land. Get it? Hello. Nice land to the Blue Lagoon. Hi. Hi. How are you? I'm great. Thank you. All right. We made it. Wow. What a sweet young girl. 16 years old. She got her grandpa to stop and pick us up. So we booked our tickets to the Blue Lagoon in advance because they say to do that it's so popular. I'm not usually a fan of tourist traps. This is definitely one of them. Everybody pretty much goes from the airport to here on their layovers and back to the airport. And they spend $80 each. $80 are the cheap tickets. Oh, it feels so good. Oh, it's dreamy in here. This is pretty otherworldly out here. I'm a fan. Oh, it feels so good. It's the perfect temperature. It's cold outside, warm inside. This water is really salty because it comes from the ocean. And I just read a sign over there that says that this water is pumped up from 2,000 meters below the ground. Geothermal seawater. That's pretty neat. Mother nature, you're a badass. Can I get some water, Ally? The water in Iceland really does taste delicious. I have no idea what silica is supposed to do for your face, but hopefully it's something good. Yeah, this is smooth. It feels like clay. Like clay dough. I think they said to leave it on for 10 minutes and then you look 10 years younger. I'm not wanting to go to spas and do fancy face stuff, but I kind of like this. Teamwork. Silica high five. Oh, yeah. Look, I got some silica on my nipple. It's going to make my nipple look 10 years younger. Can't wait. I think my mask is done. I feel younger. I feel warmer for sure. It's really windy out here. Iceland is known for its wind and it's definitely windy. But there's a sauna and a steam room and all sorts of other fun places go high when you get cold. Our $80 entry does include a free drink and I got a banana smoothie. Allie got prosecco. Cheers, Allie. Kiss and drink. You know, Allie, I've always been told that you shouldn't really drink alcohol in a hot tub. I guess I'm going to find by that Iceland. Everyone in here is drinking. I hate to say it, Allie, but it is time to go back to the airport. That was it for the blue lagoon, which was amazing. I loved it. I think you did too. Yeah, that place was super rad. It's definitely just visually stunning and it gives you a nice eye massage while your body is just relaxing. My voice even sounds a little calmer, right? Yeah, very calm. I'm relaxed down to the bone right now. Which is great because we're going straight to the airport and we're going to get on a long flight home back to Denver. Never before have I sat in a hot spring for five hours before a flight. This is going to be great.
