<p>THIS MORNING, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S CITY BUDGET THIS YEAR. KAT CAMPBELL, IN THE WRAL TEAM IS WRAPPING UP A FIVE-DAY EPIC ICELAND ADVENTURE AND THEY WERE PART OF THE INAUGURAL. ICELAND AIR NONSTOP FLIGHT. &gt;&gt; FROM RDU TO REYKJAVIK AND CATCH JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM THE BLUE LAGOON WHERE IT IS AFTER 10:00AM OVER THERE AND ICELAND, KIND OF THOSE FOLKS SWIMMING OUT THERE. THEY IN BOATS BEHIND YOU. THERE. &gt;&gt; THEY'RE SWIMMING. IT IS A GEOTHERMAL SPA OUT HERE AT THE BLUE LAGOON. IT'S AN ICELANDIC STAPLE IN BECAUSE IT'S A SPA, INCLUDING SPA TREATMENTS. I FIGURED I NEEDED TO LOOK THE PART AND, YOU KNOW, I NEEDED TO STAY WARM AS WELL. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SOME RECORD BREAKING HEAT COMING YOUR WAY TO ABOUT 55 DEGREES HERE. SO QUITE COMFORTABLE. LET ME SHOW YOU AROUND. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE. YOU CAN SEE ACTUALLY IN THAT YELLOW VEST. THAT IS THE LIFEGUARD THERE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT. AND LOOKING AT WHAT WE HAVE HERE. YOU SEE THE BLUE WATER SO BEAUTIFUL HERE THAT IS CAUSED BY THE REFLECTION OF THE SILICA. IT MAKES IT APPEAR BLUE AND THE SILICA IN THE WATERS OF PURE MINERAL AND ALGAE IN IT HAS HEATING PROP HEALING PROPERTIES AND ANTI AGING AS WELL. THEY LET US IN THIS MORNING BEFORE THE BLUE LAGOON OPENED OFFICIALLY. AND THAT IS A BIG DEAL. WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE YOU EXCLUSIVE I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE PHOTOS WE TOOK ON THE GROUND, THE VIDEOS THIS MORNING, OUR TOUR GUIDE WAS SO IMPRESSED THAT THEY LET US COME IN BEFORE THEY OPENED BECAUSE TYPICALLY THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES. BUT THEY WATCHED OUR COVERAGE. THEY LET US IN. AND LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS WATER. YOU CAN SEE THE STEAM COMING OFF THE WATER. IT'S 100 DEGREE WATER HEATED BY GEOTHERMAL ENERGY, RIGHT FROM THE GROUND. BUT THEY HAVE TO COOL IT DOWN SOME AND THEY DO THAT BY USING NATURAL SEA WATER. AND IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL HERE. THE SILICA, THE ALGAE. AND THERE'S RENEWABLE. IT'S A RENEWABLE RESOURCE, THE GEOTHERMAL ENERGY THAT THEY HAVE HERE AND THE ALGAE. THEY DON'T WANT THE ALGAE TO TAKE OVER. SO THEY ACTUALLY REMOVE IT AND USE IT IN THEIR SKIN CARE TREATMENTS THAT INCREDIBLE. THEY HAVE A SKIN CARE BAR. YOU CAN GET MASSAGES IN THE WATER. I WON'T BE DOING THAT HERE. BUT IT WOULD BE COOL. ALL HAVE TO MAKE IT BACK AND YOU CAN EVEN GET HEALTH DRINKS AND SMOOTHIES. THEY EXCEPT ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE A DAY AND IT USUALLY FULLY BOOK. SO THIS IS A POPULAR SPOT THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE WHEN YOU COME IN. ICELAND. THEY DO HAVE LONGER HOURS IN THE SUMMER THESE DAYS. AND THAT'S, OF COURSE, BECAUSE WE HAVE 18 HOURS A DAY LIGHT RIGHT NOW IN FULL DAYLIGHT LATER IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. SO YOU CAN GO PRETTY MUCH ANY TIME OF DAY AND IT WILL BE LIGHT OUTSIDE. YOU DO HAVE TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE. SO JUST REMEMBER THAT THE BOY, IS IT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE. AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS, WHERE WE'RE STANDING RIGHT NOW. IT'S ON THE THE BALCONY THAT BEYONCE STATE AT SO HOW COOL IS THAT? IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL. WE'RE SAD TO LEAVE. YOU KNOW, NO VOLCANIC ERUPTION. WE DID HAVE A COUPLE SMALL EARTHQUAKES YESTERDAY. SO IT LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT TO GET BACK ON MY FLIGHT BACK TO RALEIGH. THIS AFTERNOON. I DON'T THINK THE VOLCANO IS GOING TO BE KEEPING ME HERE. &gt;&gt; A CAT SINCE THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE WE GET TO TALK TO BEFORE YOU COME BACK. I KNOW YOU HAD A LOT OF FAVORITE SPOTS. THEY'RE NOT GOING MAKE IT PICK ONE. BUT WHAT'S THE MOST SURPRISING THING ABOUT ICELAND THAT YOU FOUND? &gt;&gt; THE WEATHER ACTUALLY, I'M AND I MEAN, THIS IS COMING FROM A METEOROLOGIST SAYING THAT IT WAS 64 DEGREES YESTERDAY, GLENN, WHAT SOMEBODY ON OUR CREW HERE, HE'S STANDING IN SHORTS RIGHT NOW. WE WE DON'T HAVE THE SUN RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD REALLY GOOD WEATHER. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SUNSHINE JUST ONE DAY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN AND PEOPLE HERE ARE JUST SO FRIENDLY. I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH. SOMEBODY THAT WORKS HERE. WE WERE CHATTING. SHE SAID I COULD EVEN PASS FOR ICELANDIC. SO I MEAN, MAYBE I'M STARTING TO FIT IN HERE, GUYS. IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH TO COME BACK. WELL, HAVE TO DRAG IT BACK WITH ONE OF THOSE HORSES YOU HAD EARLIER. &gt;&gt; I THANK YOU SO MUCH, KAT, FOR ALL THE REPORTS I CATCH UP ON ALL COUNTS ADVENTURES BY GOING TO WRAL DOT COM OR OUR</p>
