S. Pellegrino bottled water in Iceland? well, that's an awful long way from home country... but $ 3!!! that's an awful high price!

You better drink tap water. Also because here in Italy, because of some law loophole, bottled water is allowed more nitrates than tap water. That is to say, tap water has to be cleaner than bottled water... It beats me why it should be this way, but that is the way things go...

And the amazing thing is, Italy is among the greatest consumers of bottled water, because people tend to think that since it is in a bottle, it is cleaner than the H2O coming out of our taps... I am not saying bottled water is necessarily polluted, but the law is less strict regarding that than regarding tap water.

Also here in Italy tap water tastes good in most places, so the habit is even more stupid.
