I forgot

to tell you about the icelandic outdoors swinmming pools. If you have once tried them out, you won't want to swim anywhere else. Of course the hot springs feed them and you will find a comfortable warm swimming pool in every crummy place and between them, used in summer and winter. All of them have a hot pot too, with, or without bubbles. It's great. The biggest and best known hot pool however is the "blue lagoon", world wide known through excellent adversitsing. There the tourists go, yes and some icelanders too, I don´t, for reasons I am not going to tell.
