The Blue Lagoon is a resort area, and mostly expensive. But, I still recommend a trip there when you go to Iceland. As long as you go there just for a swim, it won't cost you much. ($20 entry for a swim, use of the showers, and hair products) A lot of the locals go there too, so it's not just a touristy steal your money spot. After swimming, I wanted a snack and figured I'd just have a hot dog. The lady at the snack bar asked me what I wanted on it and I asked, "whattya got?"
"Oh, we have ketchup, mustard and friken fryen frugen."
I asked, "What's friken fryen frugen?" (not the actual words, I'm sure) She scooped up some crispy fried onions and showed me. After my first bite, I realized I was not eating an all beef hotdog. Come to think of it, there are a lot of sheep in Iceland. I still liked it, even with the grainy brown mustard and the friken fryen frugen.
