Today was all about the famous Blue Lagoon which is located around a hours drive from Reykjavik. Again, one hired an accessible vehicle from Iceland Unlimited for transportation. The Icelandic landscape is stunning…
As we arrived at the Blue Lagoon, our taxi driver informed us that we needed to return in 90 minutes otherwise he would charge us an extra 30000 ISK which is about £150 hence one only had a short time at said location! Luckily, we discovered that one was able to skip the queue giving us a little more time.
The Blue Lagoon has a changing room designated for disabled individuals complete with a shower chair and changing table.
The Blue Lagoon staff were very helpful and came up with an ingenious idea to put a rubber ring around one which helped me stay afloat. However, it is worth noting that a hoist is present in the indoor pool area to allow individuals who require hoisting enjoy the spa in comfort. Despite this, we remained outside for around half an hour to avoid paying the taxi driver the extra fee, however, we could have stayed in for much longer!
Yesterday, one discovered a few modern buildings along the seafront so the theory is that one will contain an accessible restaurant for our dinner shortly.
Tomorrow, we return back to Keflavík International Airport to catch the flight back to Bristol, let’s see if Superbunny gets tied up in Nordic rope again…
