After a much-needed nap at the hotel, we headed to one of the public swimming pools: "Laugardalur" . This was no regular swimming pool. Yes, it was geothermally heated, like almost all of Iceland, but it was more of a 'spa experience' than a pool. There was a few large hot tubs, a cooler swimming pool with lanes for swimmers, a huge bath-tub warm pool with a 6 story high waterslide emptying into it (with no adult supervision - oh the humanity!), and several "hot pots". The hot pots are like small circular hot tubs, with temperatures varying from 65 to 110F. All for $2 apiece - it was the only reasonably priced attraction in Reykjavik! We met lots of other tourists here, and it was a great way to wind down the day.
