Hei peeps! On our last full day in Iceland, we.. didn’t have anything planned (as usual). So, we visited the “world’s only genuine penis museum”, the Icelandic Phallological Museum, in the morning. Then, we took a stroll around Reykjavik Park & Zoo, and smelled the roses in the Botanical Garden next to it. In the afternoon, we promenaded along the coast of Keflavik.

Here’s the entire route for our roadtrip in Iceland last April, c/o Google Maps:

We spent the last two nights in Stay Apartments Bolholt in Reykjavik, and we had no complaints, so we left it with 10 stars and this review: “Very spacious room, with a kitchen and mini-fridge. Nice location, walking distance to a grocery store and some restaurants. Free parking, easy access to the building (no check-in), and hosts responded promptly and went out of their way to provide a hairdryer (important in winter/spring). Construction on buildng’s facade and surrounding area at present – could be noisy during the day. But in general, we enjoyed our stay.“

Our first stop was the Icelandic Phallological Museum. We decided to check it out for fun, and for educational purposes. Lol. So, I’m not posting a lot of pictures here. The museum has collected phalluses from all over the world, many were real and preserved in jars, while some were handicrafts made from different materials, like wood (;-)). The museum was of an okay size; took us only about 10-15 minutes to walk around the room/s. Then, we enjoyed some phallus-shaped waffle for breakfast. 😛 There was also a souvenir section.

Rated PG. Lols. 🙂 Then, we checked out the City Park & Zoo. It’s family-friendly, with farm animals children can pet. It was fun watching baby calves and piglets, although they were inside, in an enclosure. They also have a reptile section, a huge playground, a lookout tower (which looked fragile, so we didn’t climb it), and some seals! The place has an entrance fee, just like the Phallic Museum.

Next to the Park & Zoo is the Botanical Garden. We love botanical gardens! However, it was mid-April, so there wasn’t too many blooming plants. It was possible to host events and courses in their glass house, and as it happened, there was one about to begin during our visit. So, we only spent a short period there, gazing at plants and the bright red and orange koi in the pond. Free entrance to the botanical garden. 🙂

Around noon time, we drove to Keflavik – our final destination. We also decided to book a room there for the last night because we had an early flight back to Oslo and we had to return the car early. Keflavik is a coastal city, dubbed as the country’s rock n’ roll capital. We promenaded along the coast. It was very windy, very cold.

Did you know that as of writing, we still don’t have a KFC restaurant in Norway? In Iceland, however, there are a few. So, for lunch/dinner, I had some KFC chicken! We checked in at Bank Guesthouse by KEF Airport at around 3pm and called it a day. The room was small, and we had a shared bathroom. But it was okay for a one-night stay. It’s fairly close to the airport. The only comment was the wrong door code. A resident helped us though, so, no stress.

Our flight the next day was at around 7am. So we left the guesthouse at ca 5 am, delivered the rental car, and had a quick breakfast in the lounge. The lounge was teeming with people! Then, we enjoyed our flight back to still-snowy-Norway!

I didn’t get to see puffins in the wild, but our whole trip to Iceland, nevertheless, was every bit memorable! I feel triumphant to have checked it from my travel bucketlist. Althought Iceland was very pricey (we spent more than we did for the 2-week Eurotrip in 2022!), it was definitely worth it. 🙂

So, that’s country #28. Can’t wait to see more of the planet. #spreadloveandpositivevibes. ALL PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ON THIS BLOG ENTRY ARE MINE. 🙂 Cheers!
