Iceland trip prep

[inulro]

I've been reading the Iceland guidebook. 

There's a ferry from Copenhagen to Iceland.  Some sailing stop off at the Faroe Islands.

It costs about 5X as much as flying, and that's before you factor in the cost of getting to Copenhagen.  It takes a couple of days.

I am not at all a fan of boats.  I hate being wet, and cold, and in the wind.

Having said that, we're seriously tempted.  Talk about the Adventure of a Lifetime!

Also, people who've been - the guidebook says it costs less to stay everywhere if you bring your own sleeping bag.  How true is this?  I'm caught in the balance between excess baggage charges vs the price of everything in Iceland.  And no, we're not kidding about the suitcase full of Trek and Nakd bars.

I've never heard the sleeping bag thing, and I've been to Iceland twice. The first time was quite a treat in a 4 star hotel so I doubt we'd have had much luck with a sleeping bag there. The second time was cheaper accommodation but I didn't see any reference to BYO sleeping bags.

I LOVE Iceland, it's a stunning country. When are you going?

Do you think you'd do the stop off?

Being in the sea in the middle of nowhere must make for some pretty spectacular skies.
