As far as my routing, I don’t have a map available for you, but I intend (depending on the weather, of course) on driving around the entire island, after spending 3-4 days on the west side, because that’s where most of the cool stuff is, or so it seems! I’ll be traveling north from Reykjavik, following the Route-1 all of the way around the island since there are a lot of interesting parts of Iceland scattered around from there.
Here’s a few of the places I’m planning on seeing, as you may want to Google them... In no particular order:
(again, if the weather works with me – I’m sending my good vibes Mother Nature’s way, please send your prayers as well – haha)
