As the soft and sweet aroma of freshly baked golden waffle cones drifts from the open doors of a gelateria, one things is for certain, it is sure to stop one right in her tracks and detour for a few moments; stop in to perhaps order a “gelato affogato” [gelato with espresso poured on top], and be on one’s way again . . .
Be sure to visit the Blue Lagoon — a spa, but also, a whole other world, really. One can easily spend a day rejuvenating with a number of special treatments, enjoy the lovely dining, and of course, nature. One can learn about the wonders of geothermal seawater, lava fields nearby, and more.
A little slow with the updates, this week, I know–(sometimes there are not enough hours in a day).
