Day 5: Jardbodin Nature Baths - Spa Myvatn !

In the evening, we headed to Myvatn Nature Baths for a soak in the nice warm geothermal water. It's right next to Hverir so I suppose it's the same water, laid out in a more civilized way. Beats jumping into the stinky sulphur pools at Hverir. It's about a 5 minute drive from our guesthouse in Reykjalid (near Myvatn).

We didn't go to the Blue Lagoon near Reykjavik since our friends told us that this one was way better. And they were right!

A sublime experience at sun set with with the mountains as a backdrop ...




LOVED it! Even though the water was rather sulphurous smelling :) There's nothing like jumping into a heated bath when it's chilly out.

What I wish I'd known:
Myvatn Nature Baths is open till midnight daily!

Bring your toiletries if you want to take a shower there instead of back at your hotel. They also have hair dryers in the ladies room.

>> Take me to Day 6!
