Iceland Day 5 - Saga Museum

Our last day in Iceland!!! by Selina



Gosh! I still can’t believe its our last day!! :( I’m sure that London will be an awesome adventure too, but I’m really going to miss Iceland, the Scout House, and our sister troop! We woke up early to go to the Saga Museum and spent about half an hour there. It was pretty cool, it was kinda like a wax museum. They gave us some audio records that were timed so that the recording would give a brief summary of the wax figures that we stopped at, and the whole tour was basically a crash course in Icelandic history. The figures looked so real, and at one point, one of them started moving and it totally freaked me out!




Afterwards we went to the American Embassy, Katie will elaborate more on that!

Finally we went to a few more museums and just shopped around. I brought $100 US dollars mostly for one purpose and that was to buy one of Iceland’s famous wool sweaters. Unfortunately those sweaters we way way way too expensive! I ended up buying this cute little shawl and I’m very happy with it! :)

Originally we wanted to go caving (because we never made it last time!) but we really wanted to spend the last few moments of our last day with our sister troop! We split up and our sister troop took some of us to their houses so that we could see what a typical Icelandic house is like. It was really cool!

Then we just hung out together until a little bit later into the night and said our good byes. Bye RS Atlantis! Keep in touch!
