Tamara Georgick Agenda-Iceland

Golden Circle Tour – This is a 8-10 hour minivan/super jeep (?) tour across western Iceland where we’ll get a chance to admire glaciers, geysers, hot springs, waterfalls, craters, etc. It sounds absolutely amazing. We pre-purchased this tour, which is good planning, because we have a small window of opportunity and when Tamara Georgick started emailing the agency, they were already completely booked one of the three days we’d be there. Iceland-Gullfoss
Iceland-BlueLagoon Blue Lagoon, an expensive spa that is fed (carefully reading between the lines) from the wastewater of the nearby geothermal power plant).
Iceland-Hygiene Everything I’ve read insists that Icelanders have “very strict” hygiene requirements for communal bathing. Here are some directions before entering the spas, pools and hot springs. I’ve read and reread this very carefully in Icelandic several times now and I still don’t know what’s going on.
Northern Lights tour, we have to wait until 5pm of the same day to find out if this is happening, its not a sure occurrence, so the tour agency makes the call the evening of. Iceland-NorthernLights

    You say the above was posted at 7:15 pm on Saturday, but don’t identify the time zone. It sounds to me that you must have sent it from the airplane, at 30,000 feet over eastern Canada. Anyway, keep up the good work, and keep us posted.

    Oops, I didn’t change the default setting which was Uniform Standard Time/Greenwich Mean Time, should now all be Pacific Standard Time.

    Looking forward to pictures from the tour! Also, I would like to help Re: spa hygiene poster… I think the pink blobs indicate where to wear Icelandic shower caps. Icelanders have notoriously hairy feet (related to belief in gnomes and fairy folk).

    Yes, the vikings depicted everywhere also seem hairy.
