It's our last full day in Iceland so naturally we did laundry at the Laundromat Cafe, bought some souvenirs, went swimming at one of Reykjaviks many public pools (Laugardalslaug) and had a really great meal at Laugaas a restaurant on Laugarasvegur Street - the food was really good - I had cod au gratin with boiled potatoes and Dave had pan fried Lange or Ling fish with roasted potatoes and vegetables- it was in a non-touristy area - mostly locals eating there - and it was busy!
So in Iceland whenever you go to a hot springs or public swimming pool - ya gotta get naked and use soap on all the areas indicated in the photo. There’s even a person in the showers making sure everyone follows the rules - when in Rome… The pool was really nice - there were a lot of people there and it is open late. It had 3 large swimming pools with kid’s playing areas, a big water slide and a lot of hot tubs at varying temperatures - from practically freezing to really hot (46° - 104°)
This place is called The Laundromat Cafe - and that’s what it is - a full restaurant/cafe on the main floor with a large children’s play area and washers and dryers in the basement.
The shocker - for 2 loads of laundry (washer, dryer and soap) it costs 3,300 Icelandic Krona or $26.93 - ouch! For that much, the dryer should have actually dried the clothes - we had to hang them on our hotel balcony to finish the drying process.
Well we will be fresh and clean for Denmark - our taxi arrives for us at 6:00am
