Drinks are VERY expensive - a week could be a massive expense. Sight-seeing is pretty pricey too. Downtown Reykjavik is dead Sun-Thurs, and absolutely mental Friday and Saturday. Not everyone can hold their drink, so a lot of the locals can be quite punchy (women as well as men!).
I know many people have very fond memories of the place, but I was there stone-cold sober (medical reasons) from Thurs-Thurs, and whilst I had a good time, I'm not in any rush to go back.

There are far better, and far, far cheaper, places in Europe - is there a reason behind Iceland?

Hiya Paul and Gregor,
Cheers for your advice lads.. I really fancy Iceland for a long time but I might wait till October or so before I go as it'll be a heck of alot cheaper. None of my pals fancy goign so again i'd be alone..
I've always fancied Eastern Europe..

Although the flights and hotels will be cheaper, the bevvy won't be! We also found that some of the touristy stuff (like whale watching) was slowing down and shutting up for the winter season.
I can heartily recommend Eastern Europe. Poland is superb for vodka and drunken hi-jinks, Croatia has stunning women and a pavement cafe culture (whilst hot), and the Baltics are superb (Riga is my favourite city). Prague's an established favourite (NATA Guide at http://netleyabbeytartanarmy.net/trav_czech.htm ) but is getting quite touristy. A Baltics guide will be up in the next 2-3 weeks.
