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.

Odd that, seems everyone goes that way

By car I presume


Around US$80 per night, or so?

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


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:

OMG have you got nothing better to do

Give that man a GBP, Grevious Bodily Punch.

Or it might mean "pounds of aquavit" which I've heard is a common
medium of exchange across Iceland.

Seriously, I find it hard to imagine that anyone seriously thought a
poster named "tim" was using 1500 pound to mean anything other than
GBP.
