Day 34/183: Car train train bus plane bus bus hotel

[nanila]

I picked up a bottle of Reykjavik vodka in the airport, which cost a tenner and is probably fire water but so long as I drink it cold and with the neighbouring bottle of lemon soda, I'm sure it will be fine.

I used a lot of forms of transport today to get from home to a hotel in Reykjavik - see subject line. It took 11.5 hours in total. I could probably have made it shorter by not flying from Luton airport but it was so much cheaper than flying from my local regional airport that it was worth it. Or at least it will be once I’ve got this vodka lemon thing down my neck and shut my eyes.

Tomorrow I have to buy a swimming costume because this numpty forgot she was going to the Blue Lagoon tomorrow night with my mad American doctor friends whom I haven’t seen in 15 years. We meet tomorrow morning at the Iceland Phallological Museum, because where else do you start a tour of Reykjavik with a bunch of urologists?

Already a trip with good stories. You’re doing it right ^_^

[nanila]

I'm having skyr with my breakfast. It is so good!

[corvidology]

Trip off to a very good start!

[nanila]

Yes yes! I have poured a lot of coffee down myself. Soon: venturing out.

[meepettemu]

They do a REALLY nice liquorice vodka in Iceland. I want it :)

I hope the blue lagoon is nice!

[nanila]

I'm hoping to have the liquorice liqueur while at the blue lagoon tonight! The package the girls bought includes drinks. \o/

[hilarita]

Of course you're going to the penis museum! Have fun!

[nanila]

I expect we will be there for some time as they all seem very serious about it!

[niqaeli]

Glad you have a drink and the Phallalogical Museum is a) great and topical for urologists and b) sounds pretty interesting entertaining!

[nanila]

The drinks combination was surprisingly nice and knocked me right out. Win!

Penis museum visit to commence shortly.

As a fellow numpty I can tell you that you can hire a serviceable swimming costume at the Blue Lagoon!

[nanila]

Ahhh thanks. I imagine this is going to be much cheaper than buying one here. The whole blue lagoon excursion is already 120 USD (tbf the girls went for the fancy spa package)!

This is a very eclectic holiday! I hope you had a good time!

[nanila]

Thank you! So far, so good. Phallological museum visited, vegan hot dog eaten, flea market shopped in. Now having a rest before tonight's Blue Lagoon adventure.

[tree_and_leaf]

Have an excellent time!

[nanila]

Thank you! Enjoying myself greatly so far. :)

I hope the phallus museum stands up to its reputation, and that the rest of the day is very relaxing and full of good companionship and drinks.

[nanila]

It stands up well as the product of a singular lifelong obsession; the audio tour is fantastic and only touches on a fraction of the collection, so after listening to it, it's quite fun to wander around better informed than when you entered.

Today has had vegan hot dogs, beer, and shopping in a flea market.

[silveradept]

That sounds like a very good day, indeed!

[rmc28]

:-) glad you are having fun

[nanila]

Yes indeed. I slept so soundly last night. And until 8 am which is unheard of for me, haha!

[omnipotent]

Despite the cumbersome travel arrangements, I am glad you arrived safely.

I am looking forward to the update on the penis museum.

[nanila]

Thank you.

Penis museum update forthcoming; it might be the Blue Lagoon first though. :)
