Go for a morning swim at this pool. This one is a personal favorite, not because the pool itself is so great but because of the community. The Þingeyri elders meet there most mornings, swim a few laps, soak in the hot tubs for a bit and then spend an hour sipping coffee and telling stories. Sometimes home made sweets are brought and shared, sometimes a newly published book is brought over and a chapter read. You probably won’t find anyone that can speak English, but that’s fine. It’s an experience and a great window to the heart of the Icelandic soul.

If you’re ever in an Icelandic town and wondering where all the locals are, go to the pool.
