Travel to Iceland.

The journey began with a delay in Dusseldorf, where we had a flight to Iceland, evening flight was canceled due to illness of the pilot, and moved him to 6 am the next day. At 6 am all boarded the plane, he taxied to the runway and started overclocking. Suddenly there was a strong cotton and the plane pulled up sharply - left engine hit a bird. The engine itself is not affected, about an hour he washed from birds, and draw up documents checked. In Iceland we were delayed 10 hours.

I was most frightened weather here is very cold, the wind and rain. It turned out that you can go to the T-shirt, the temperature 10 degrees, and there is no wind at all for 3 days.

First we went to swim in the Blue Lagoon. In 1976, the Svartsengi geothermal power plant was built. The wells are deep reach several hundred meters from geothermal reservoirs seawater heated to 240 ° C. According to legend, the healing properties of the waters of the Blue Lagoon accidentally opened one Icelandic Energy, heal psoriasis while swimming after work.

Near the power station formed a large thermal pool under the open sky.

When geothermal water cools to a temperature of 37 ° C, it becomes very busy with silicon, causing the silicon formed white slurry. This white mud fills the cracks in the lava, allowing Lagoon constantly expanding. It is 200 m wide and several kilometers long, its depth varies from 1 to 3 m. The concentration of silicon in the lagoon to 140 mg / kg. The molecules of silicon refract light rays and it provides a blue-colored opalescent water

The first impression is that there's nobody here. The streets are no cars, the roads are almost no sidewalks, walk on them not pedestrians. The shops there are no buyers, stores themselves too few. The restaurant of the hotel is not at all one, no visitors, no waiters, though breakfast was scheduled. Empty was in the showroom, where I picked up the car at the pump, too, failed to meet a man here self - insert the card to refuel.
