Eden greenhouse in Hveragerði

First it was off to a tomato hot house, the greenhouse Eden in small Hveragerði, to see how Iceland can produce foods under glass. It was Iceland’s nearest thing to a tourist trap, and all passing tour groups were shepherded through its doors. Having said that, there were worse places designed to separate fools and money. Bananas and papayas added a touch of the tropics, there’s an enormous postcard selection; and it sells Hveragerði’s famous Kjörís ice cream, made just round the corner.
Ron had some tomato soup (tómat súpa) for 1000 Ikr! Ron didn’t know how this guy got the contract for the tour busses to stop here, but he was making a killing on tomato soup at $9 US for a cup. Granted, it was excellent soup, and Ron got it himself, but really, Ikr 1000? He had a gift shop as well. This guy was one smart dude. That soup was the best tomato soup Ron had ever had, made with freshly picked tomatoes, but the price left him crying in his soup. He did like that the farmer had a water closet (bathroom) that he let the tourists use.Read more
