Iceland has LOTS of hot water. And the hot water is REALLY hot! It's piped directly into homes and has a sulphur aroma to it (very strong aroma in Reykjavik, less strong in other cities).
Car washes are free, too.
We visited geothermal areas in Bjarnarflag, Hverir and Krafla (an active volcano)... all just 3 - 10 kilometers east of Reykjahlid at Myvatn.
We also went to the Jardbodin Nature Baths in Bjarnarflag (like the Blue Lagoon, but better).
Bjarnarflag is also where the world famous "Bjarnarflag Braud" is made. It's bread cooked in milk cartons in holes dug in the ground. The geothermal heat cooks the bread. It's delicious!
And we visited the world's first, and still the largest, geothermal plant that generates electricity. We even drove through the pipes transporting the water from the volcano the the generators.
