Of course the next morning Pokin wanted to get up for sunrise photos.

At least since it was October, sunrise was later and breakfast was already open.

They had a pretty good breakfast spread. Best one I’d seen in Iceland, in fact.

I actually enjoyed myself over breakfast, watching the sunrise.

A little while later, Anna and Adam joined my bud and Pokin for breakfast. Then they went into the Retreat Lagoon while I went back up to the room to chillax.

The Retreat Lagoon side is much more cozy, I’m told. The pools are nestled between chasms in the natural lava, and there are many more private nooks. For a while, my bud and Pokin had the waters all to themselves, before they were joined by one more person and then Anna and Adam. This is a much more secluded place to be. They said it was a nice juxtaposition to the main large lagoon.

There was one rude couple they said who disregarded the rules and walked around with a camera, but everyone else respected the rules.

After a quick dip, it was already time for checkout.

Too bad, I liked it here. I guess we’ll just have to come back.

Till next time!
