Jeezo I am shattered! Didn’t get to bed until 11pm which is late for me… I did doze on the couch last night. We watched The Forever Purge on Netflix…. It was great but I must have fallen asleep after it.
Then he who shall not be named… let his 5am alarm go off this morning and promptly fell straight back to sleep…. While I ruminated and pondered all things Tartan 🤦🏻♀️ I’m working in my head at 5am in bed on my day off…. 🥴🤷🏻♀️
Off to the little gift shop today and took some photos (as I do!) of the lovely new Tinsmiths jewellery. It’s so delicate, it’s made from old tins!
Love it! The day flew by as usual.
Chatting to Gayle today and I realised I hadn’t shared any photos of our hotel in Iceland 🇮🇸…. The Hotel Reykjavik Grand.
It was a lovely hotel, I’d highly recommend it. it was set up for conferences on most days when we were there so I assume it’s quite a business driven hotel.
Our window was facing into the inner atrium. Downside we had no view and couldn’t see the weather, upside, got to nosey on people in the hotel 😂
So this time last week Craig and I were in the Sky Lagoon which was only 11 minutes from the hotel.
Check out the website!! The Skye Lagoon .
It was another amazing experience.
It’s and oceanside, geothermal spa. The ocean is behind me!
It has a waterfall!
Waterfall monster!
We only took the phone in at the every end for photos. Some taken in my phone waterproof bag… which look awful… others we just took it out the bag and held onto it very carefully.
This is where the 7 step treatment takes place.
Step 1 geothermal spa
Step 2 freezing cold plunge pool.
Step 3 is a sauna with a view out over the sea. The window must be 8m x 2.5m and they say it’s the largest window in Iceland. It was breathtaking
We sat in there for over 15 minutes. Such an amazing space…
Step 4 was a misty cold spray
Step 5 and oily salt body scrub
Step 6 the steam room
Step 7 is a shower, freezing plunge pool and back in the warmth of the spa!!
We went to the bar for two alcohol free beers as Craig was driving.
It was such a lovely time relaxing in that pool. Really special.
It did actually start to rain but that felt so good as the pool was so hot.
It was a really special time for us. A memory made that we will never, ever forget.
So tonight, back to reality, I have my jammies on, we’ve had dinner and I’m not moving for the rest of the night…. Life in the fast lane huh?!
Stay safe everyone 🧖🏼♀️🧖🏽♂️🌊
