Got to go there for a long weekend in '02. Even in February, it was an amazing place. Would love to go back in the summer to see what grows there. Prices are a bit steep, but there's no tipping expected or accepted. Just about everyone we met was fluent in English.

I'm flying to Paris in June and stopping in Reykjavik to switch planes...sadly only for 55 minutes, but I am hoping to snap some good photos on the decent!

Suggest you take a course at ICP on landscape photography. These are "pretty" but throwaways which don't convey the drama of the Icelandic landscape. The bookstore in Akureyri has a lot of good landscape work to look at next time you're in the north of Iceland.

Gullfloss? Never heard of it. Gullfoss, yes. I was there in July '89 and the snow was still banked up on the Hringbraut. No work and I had to eek out 2 days on a packet of biscuits. A very expensive place to be broke, amigos.

A truly beautiful country and from the East Coast it is a nice 3-day weekend trip though I want to go back sometime during the peak summer to see the Ring Road.
