Re: Iceland trip

My advice is to never ask a bunch of photographers who’ve been there, done that, and got huge T-shirt collections again. Just impress us with your incredible shots (if you get any) later. 

Some of us have been where you’re going, but none of us can prepare you for what you will find. It seems you might have your head in your butt about things I take as obvious. I love the big hot-tub experience and what you found in Greece is guaranteed not going to be found in Iceland. If nothing else Icelanders know how to have a good time and if given the chance will help out.

What this really is, is a test to see if you are as creative and innovative as you think you are. You could start by giving people the benefit of the doubt and not thinking they’re all lying to you. I would tell you to get travel insurance too to cover your equipment.

Pini,
Thanks for good advice!
I think it should be possible to overlook the tourist offices, e.g. using booking.com environment and a couple of "exile" Estonians here and there in Iceland. 
What concerning the gas stove - I've thought about it seriously, but it's said to be constantly so windy, that it takes forever to cook your meal :(
I've made already some reservations in guesthouses for pretty nice price. Afterall I need to charge my batteries regularly, although my Nikon's ones can go, depending on the version, either about 1000 or 3000 shots per charge.
I know, I know that it's peanuts in Iceland, as I use such amount up pretty quickly even in Estonia :)
About cold - I've considered cold. Unless it's constantly less than 3-4 degrees. And I won't say North for long. Some days in Westfjords and then South again. I'll skip Akureyri and the rest of the Northen part of the circle. I'll stay in South instead. Coming and going along the same route in different conditions may give unexpected results.

Kindest regards,
Peeter
