Daylight and delight :)

I feel it's time to say few words about the daylight time here in Iceland. I am so astonished that that daytime is growing now 5 min 30 seconds every day! And soon in spring time it will be almost 7 minutes per day! So in 2 first weeks of my stay here the day has grown almost 1 hour! (exactly from 4h30 min to 5h 16 min!) At the beginning it was only 3 minutes per day but it's shifting so fast. So everything is changing in a good and positive way :))

In case you are curious how does it look here I can say that today the sunrise was at 10:50 and the sunset will be at 16:26, but in fact the sky is blue from 9:42 am to 17:30 pm. So it's far better than I imagined while being in Poland. It's completely different world and different reality here, sometimes it's even feels like completely different planet! :))




 I've been going a lot to hot swimming pools, on Tuesday I was swimming outdoors in Laugardalslaug at -4°C in the evening, the sky was still dark blue before 18h and it was great experience! Don't worry, we have a lot of hot water pools here full of geothermal water, so it's really doesn't matter what's the temperature outside. 
On Monday I tried out again the smaller neighbour pool Sundhöllin despite the strong wind that was almost moving the cars parked near Concert Hall by the sea. I was a little bit afraid that it would take me into the air when I was coming back from Harpa with my 3-days pass for Sónar Reykjavík Festival :)
And on Thursday my friends took me to the best swimming pool in Kópavogur. The sky was lighted by the full  moon, hot jacuzzi outside with small water  cascades and chilly atmosphere. Also we visited some supermarkets before so I could see that a lot of U.S. products are sold in Iceland. Fortunately there are some organic products (from Europe!) available at fair price, even I bought kasza gryczana and kasza jęczmienna at Icelandic store-garage full of Polish food! (nick-name: 'U dziada' :)

And today is Friday and the weather is excellent again! Yesterday it was quite cloudy and grey so I reminded myself that: 
'Even when the day is gray there is always blue sky above the clouds'. 

So the day was great despite the grayish tones!
