Iceland is expensive

Expensive stuff: A head of lettuce that I could get for about 69 cents back home costs about $4.00.

Went for a few beers with Gemma from England (Mainstone actually - which is close to where my parents grew up) and Petra from Sweden. Had a great time: we went to three places - a hard rock/grungy place that seemed to only play AC/DC, Perl Jam and GNR. We then went to a cool cafe style place with a larger crowd. The last place was a club that is owned by one of the Blur band members. Very cool place and had couches where we could check out the real Icelanders telling fishing stories (I think - one guy seemed to have lots facts about skinning things). Beer is expensive though - about $10 Canadian per pint. Good news is that at those prices, the beer lasts longer :)

The water here is heated from the geysers...the hot water has a lot of sulfer and smells really bad (like rotten eggs).
