I've fancied going to Iceland for a few years. Now that the bottom has fallen out of it's currency is it a total bargain to go there?

You currently get 166 Kroner to the pound, but what has it been historically?

Can I buy a beer for less than a tenner now?

Apparently (from a colleague who has family there), it's "really cheap". According to him, beer is more expensive in London than there now.

As above, they've started charging for a lot of stuff in Euros. I looked at it a few weeks ago. You're still going to need a lot of money 🙂

Though I live in Eurolandia at the moment anyway so maybe it's worth a go
