Hot Fossils and Rebel Matters 185 – Rough Hair and Stinky Mikis

Hot Springs = Rough Hair Leaving Reykjavik Harbour to Whale Watch (Photo by Special K) Well, here it is : the first podcast of our June Holiday. Special K and I spent an amazing week in one of the most beautiful countries in the world – Iceland. On the first day we visited the hot spring known as the Blue Lagoon located between the cities of Keflavik and Reykjavik. The mineral salts in the spring gave us straw like hair and, being the vain Ninja that I am, I feared I’d be stuck with bad hair forever. On the second day, we went whale watching. Based on what we learned later – many Icelanders have more than one job. But we were still surprised to discover, a couple of days later, that our wonderful whale watching tour guide was none other than Tomas Lemarquis star of the brooding Icelandic film Noi the Albino. I should have guessed it, with his calm, melodic, meditative speaking tones leading us through our first Icelandic sea adventure.
