We have just a few hours before heading out to the airport, so we squeeze in just a little more walking. First stop: the
Penis Museum. We did this one on our last trip, when it was in a far humbler space in Húsavík. Today, we're just hitting the gift shop to see what's new. Highly recommend
The Final Member documentary if you cannot make it to this museum. Or even if you can.
One of the things we looked at yesterday was the
Icelandic Punk Museum, but we make it today. The entire thing is set up in a public toilet, with exhibits in indivudual stalls and every surface. I've been to the Go Go Museum in DC, which is all digital displays and this is far better an experience. The most high tech thing here is headphones playing spcific albums on repeat. A fun, quick stop that has Bill excited to get his Sugar Cubes CDs out of storage. They also have a
playlist on YouTube.

Our last real stop is a
bakery where I get a cardamom bun and he gets one last coffee. This is in the same little complex of buildings as the restaurants we've eaten at both nights here. Solid grouping, would dine again.

Then we are off to the airport for a day of mostly sitting. There is a bit of excitement as we somehow forgot all about needing to clear customs and left the lounge later than we should have. The line was insanely long as apparently all the flights to North America leave in the same 30 minute window. It moved fast, and we made it easily after the initial stress.
Sad bo be leaving so soon. We'll have to stay longer next time.
