Iceland, Anyone ?
 

Does anyone have any ideas for hotels in Reykjavik, and then elsewhere on
the island? I'm planning to fly into the capital and then do a week-long
tour, clockwise.

Around US$80 per night, or so?

Thanks.

When I visited Iceland, I was with a group, and it was several years ago,
so I have no answers for you, butit's a great country8-). Rather expensive
, though.

I think that you may get breakfast for $80. But a room for the night,
typically, would cost considerably more.

Didn't it get cheaper after the banks collapsed?

Odd that, seems everyone goes that way

By car I presume

Hum,

I think these are the people I used:

http://www.icelandholidays.com/ (I don't have my credit card statements to
hand to check), but there is an exhaustive list of hotels available for you
to check

But even the most basic of hotels are expensive

In particular I remember staying he
http://www.icelandholidays.com/accom...uesthouse.html

clean and tidy, but nothing else to merit a mention

I paid around 1500 pounds for the week, about 100 pounds a night for hotels,
500 pounds for the car and 300 pounds for the flights

Flights are booked. Return from Heathrow and a week's car hi US$ 1,290.

Why not use the accepted three-letter abbreviation: GBP if you can't get
£ on your keyboard? In any case, GBP would better specify the currency;
"pound" might mean the Egyptian pound (EGP; 11.2 for one GBP).

One place you can get a listing of the abbreviations is:

In Iceland? Why would anybody think that?
It's about as likely as him wanting to visit a supermarket chain in UK called
Iceland or to think that it was pounds of sausages.

How do I know he's not Egyptian? :-)

You can't have all that much to do yourself if you respond to a
reasonable suggestion like that.
