Message from Elisa in Iceland

The most Icelandic thing to do in Iceland is go to the swimming pool. Every town in the country has a swimming pool and you will find all the locals gathered there. All pools are outdoor and heated, so you will be able to enjoy them summer and winter.

The pool in Akureyri has a few pools for swimming and a lot of hot tubs. But the best part of it all are the slides. They are the perfect entertainment for young and older visitors. So please try them out when visiting the pool.

Just don't forget to shower naked before entering the pool. Icelanders are pretty intense about that. They don't put a lot of chlorine in the pool water in Iceland, so they expect everyone to clean themselves properly before entering the pool, so he pools will stay clean as well.
