Ever since I arrived, Icelanders have been talking about the swimming pools. They have quite a name here in Reykjavik so I finally decided to try one. The pool scene is very unique to this city and they stay open all year. People of all ages hang out at the outdoor pools - many with their young children and families, some to just talk politics in the hot tubs, others to really get a work out, and some (like me) people watching, listening to Icelandic, making friends with old guys in the hot tubs, and staring at movie stars in speedos. The whole experience was really relaxing and I have already gone back since my first visit. I do not even like swimming but I truly enjoyed myself both times and left totally relaxed.
After a refreshing swimming pool experience yesterday, I tried Icelandic ice cream for the first time which has also been recommended many times. Everyone told me to be sure and order the old ice cream instead of the new. It was delicious!...and very unique. I had a dish of the old ice cream with chocolate sauce and coconut. Yummy!
