Final Day: Blue Lagoon and Sirkus

Blue Lagoon

On my final day in Iceland Begga, Torfi, Jonsi and I went to the Blue Lagoon, which is supposed to be like the Icelandic fountain of youth. It was pretty cool, but at the same time it seemed very commercialized. They had turned it into a spa/hotel type of thingy and you had to pay to get in. It didn't used to be like that, so I would have preferred to get to it before it was sold out and raped for all it was worth. We still had a great time though. Haha even though the bottom of the lagoon was super squishy and when Torfi, Joni, and I grabbed a handfull of the mud from the bottom it was laden with human hair! Ick!

Sirkus

After Blue Lagoon I went back to Begga's and packed and had a very nice dinner with her family. I said goodbye to everyone since my flight was at like 6AM the next morning and Begga's Grandma gave me a book of Icelandic folktales as a present - so sweet. Begga and I met up with Jonsi and Torfi after dinner and went to a bar called Sirkus, which is Bjork's favorite bar, and had some goodbye beers. It was nice, but I was sad and knew I had to get up early. I really really didn't want to leave, but I couldnm't extend my ticket. After Sirkus we went to Torfi's workplace to see his art, then he took Begga and I home. The goodbye to Iceland was tragic, I guess I kind of fell in love with everything about it...but i'll be back bitches!
