Advice for Potential Travellers
Food and alcohol is EXTREMELY expensive in Iceland (like $25 US for a bowl of soup at lunch!) so you might need to get creative, especially in the more remote locations. We bought crackers, spreadable cheese and fruit at Bonus supermarkets (the least expensive) and had Happy Hour in our room. Also, if you're a couple, you probably won't get a double bed. We had to push single beds together in most hotels. Apparently, Exodus' system doesn't differentiate couples from two singles so try to address this with Exodus by phone in advance (if you can get a live person). Few elevators so be prepared to carry your suitcase up or down stairs (pack as light as possible). Some excursions are more strenuous than indicated by the Activity Level Rating for this trip (2) - steep climbs in a couple of places.
