Adjacent to the church was a nice cafe made from a converted milking barn although the building’s owner said the primary conversion tool was a bulldozer. Apparently the barn was built in 1942 when concrete was a scarce resource so the barn was mostly sand / stone with minimal cement.
The building is heated with in floor heating powered by a A2W system.The tables and chairs are old sets donated by the local community including some from house no longer habitable due to recent volcanic activity. 😞

With exception of the new hotels, plumbing and hydronic lines tended to function oriented with many pipes mounted on surface of wall. Lots of press fitting including chrome plated ones although I did see some nicely sweated 3/8” copper supplies

Have to admit, the two pin receptacles were much easier to use than the three prong TR plugs we have to deal with. A lot of the wiring appears to be small gauge (18ga?) often run in open trays alongside the heating lines

yes, we were there first two weeks of month. It was cold in the north and windy every where but we had clear weather. I learned quickly to double check google map directions and avoid the 3 digits roads in mountain area if you want to stay upright (October to April). This was taken on the “big” route 1 ring road. Imagine what they consider a little one; one lane sections with pull offs were common. A lot of the terrain reminded me of smaller scale versions of the American west

I am not sure if they use 110 volt(hot and neutral) or 220 volt(hot/hot) in their household electrical outlets.
If you had to use the two pin converter plugs the standard outlets were 220 volt single phase.

you are correct, 220 volt single phase similar to below. Looks like ground is included in socket but not on all plugs; similar to US
